    This is true.
    True.
    This is how Catholics believe, we believe you God doesn't condemn you to Hell. He doesn't choose your fate, YOU DO. If one of us were to go to Hell (which I hope not) it would be because we were so far from God we couldn't possibly strengthen that relationship if we were about to die so you would officialy be in touch with the Devil (whom I hope doesn't exist but it seems logical that it does) therfore going to his kingdom Hell. I am not in the mood for a "Only look at the bad side of a person's faith in order to make their faith seem implossible" arguement.
    As I have stated before God doesn't send you to Hell, we openly choose to go there. I don't think Hell is a real place but I never want to take that risk of being a douchebag to others.
    Of course you would make fun of us because you have nothing better to do. I HOPE Satan doesn't exist and I hope Hell doesn't exist as stated above. I don't think anyone actually goes to Hell.

    Actually I am not, I can forge my own opinions and disagree with the Church on several topics. Actually believe it or not there are Catholics for abortion and the death penalty.

    You were brainwashed from birth and it's worrying to see somebody like you in normal society that isn't classed as having a psychological disorder. Entertainment takes priority over everything else, that is my philosophy. How are you so convinced that you "HOPE Satan doesn't exist"? Are you that tormented by the fear of non existent bronze-age mythology? If you don't think anyone goes to hell, why are you a Christian? If you are smart enough to know that hell doesn't exist, surely you are smart enough to know that the entirety of what most Christians preach are lies.

    If people get to choose whether they'd go to Heaven or Hell, Hell'd be empty, right?

    But then there's no incentive to believe in God. Or is there another punishment for defying Him?

    None, and I guess your right but there is still incentive to rejoice that we can all one day find the paradise of Heaven. No longer am I a Catholic, I am a reformed Christian.

    Then there's also nothing holding you back to do anything God commands you not to...therefore, morality would have nothing to do with Christianity whatsoever.

    That's cool, but it doesn't really affect me in any way, as God apparently doesn't punish me for anything.
