What's half of an eternity? Isn't that still eternity? Is that what Catholics actually believe about purgatory?

half of eternity is 3/8ths of infinity, or 42 kilograms.

Not to be too pedantic, but this flavor of Christianity does not believe in purgatory.

fulakarp, you ignorant slut. There is but one true definition of Christianity and it includes the books of Tobit, Judith, parts of Esther, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and the parts of Daniel hell-bound Presbyterians were taught by the devil to not accept. It is impossible for Christianity to have multiple interpretations because it was all laid out by the infallible son of god and his perfect plan.

I know a whole eternity is some fraction of a Twilight, but I can't be arsed to do the math.

According to Catholics, infants went to limbo (unofficial teaching), not purgatory (official teaching). However, purgatory was/is an entirely escapable situation; while it's not clear how much time it took on average to leave purgatory, purgatory being in a timeless condition and all, its intention was to be entirely transitory.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines purgatory as "a state of final purification after death and before entrance into heaven for those who died in God's friendship, but were only imperfectly purified; a final cleansing of human imperfection before one is able to enter the joy of heaven."

So basically, purgatory is where you learn to stop masturbating.

Purgatory is what I do before a colonoscopy, and it does help with stopping my masturbating.

Fuck this guy, but he ain't a Catholic. You need to know your breeds of Christians better. Its the Evangelicals and Baptists who obsess nonstop over Rapture fantasies. And if you ask them they'll say Catholics will be left behind too, because they say the Pope will be down with the Anti-Christ. Some go as far as to say the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon.
Fulakarp is right. These nutters don't believe in Purgatory and put it down as more evil Catholic lies. I was Catholic and it would piss me off how much hate these guys have them.

^ Yes I happen to have pentecostal friends, they think catholics are fuckin nuts if not evil. Of course I also discovered that there are other pentecostal churches and they think the same thing about each other too.

@ CenaMark & Boner: I've been to evangelical fundamentalists churches where the official position is that the Catholic church is a cult.

Also, even they argue among themselves over pre-tribulation vs. mid-tribulation vs. post-tribulation rapture, so this video does not necessarily represent the views of all fundies.

So of course there's no point in taking care of the environment.
