It's okay Prince, you can argue with me, despite the fact that we are friends. I love you despite your beliefs. 😉 Don't attack someone else when you'd rather confront me.Look, there is nothing in christianity that disputes the fact that the death bed convert can ask AND recieve forgivness. Anyone who's faced with death can be an easy convert. Hell, they're dying! While it is true that your god preaches "live a good life and go to heaven"...he also preaches that at any point you can accept Jesus and get into heaven. Don't muddy the waters by saying that it's all dependant on living a good life. It simply isn't what the christian religions preach.
So, the logical conclusion is that the whole "live a good life and enjoy the eternal benefits" bullshit is all man made. This isn't a home loan we're talking about...this is eternity...you don't have to make the payments on time!
I don't believe that, because that is not what Christianity is about, let alone Catholicism. If life can be screwed up so that in the end you can make it better, like a school year, than it's not worth living. I bring up a school year, because it best describes this situation. If you slack off the entire year, and hope to save yourself in the final exam, 99.9 percent of the time you would fail miserably. That is the truth, why should it be any different in real life...
