There is no Hell.

Since I already believe death results in non-existence, there's no longer any upside to being good.

Thanks, Mr. Francis. I feel much better now.
OMG, another piece to the puzzle. I've been comparing Mormonism to Catholicism for years, finally real similarities to the afterlife or non-existence thereof.

Mormons vs. Catholics

  • Have Priest's and Prophet e.g. Pope.
  • Both have 2 or more books to reference other than the Bible.
  • Confession of Sins to either Priest's or Prophet.
  • Build Temples till the end comes.
  • Believe in the Resurrection.
  • Now, both believe in Outer Darkness or nothingness. "Outer Darkness, would be like Zero State or Ground or Outer Darkness"
  • Fundamentally Christian with some quirks.
  • Baptism for the Dead (Mormon only) can't cross off list.
  • Believe in a pre-existance (Mormon only) can't cross off list.

Two more and it'll be complete. :p

kv:D

Edit: Wait, one more Catholics recently revealed their is a chance for other life beyond our planet, e.g. Alien.

Mormons say God lives on a planet named Kolob in our Universe.

Ah... how the news just loves to misquote so they can sell their crap... no matter how short-lived:

It was at least the third time the Vatican has issued statements distancing itself from Scalfari's articles about the pope, including one in 2014 in which the journalist said the pontiff had abolished sin.

"The fruit of his reconstruction."

Can I use that?
I don't get this one? Please explain to the below normal intellects or average individuals. :D

"The fruit of his reconstruction." I didn't read the article and pull this out correctly? If it even applied or not?

I had no point except that I like the turn of phrase. It is a very polite, positive, and generous euphemism of "He is a lying bastard destined for Hell." And said without dripping sarcasm, the intended recipient may walk away without even knowing he was chastised. Neat.

I am usually more direct in my criticisms. It seems I can learn something from this Pope.

MOD: After Mod discussion, post restored.

Please do not start a discussion regarding Religion.
Please restore my post. I was not starting a religious discussion. I was discussing an interesting (and entertaining) use of the English language.

Don't be so freakin' touchy.

Edit: and BTW, the fragment of text you left behind (as quoted by @cmartinez) completely changes the context of my thoughts, as evidenced by @MaxHeadRoom's post below.

We all can, my friend...
There is a few that does not sit well with me.
Refusing to apologize for the residential schools here that were intended to 'assimilate' the native population.
Telling a priest to pray for punishment after molesting 20 young boys.
Ref: Also watch the docu/movie Spotlight featuring the Boston globe.

It's because you posted it, content orientation of a critical opening of "Religious" worms. Who ever complained clearly isn't your biggest fan. Just that they edited should tell you , your a little edgy which bothers them that your that intelligent.

Put a feather in your cap and move on. I really wanted to know but, life sometimes just isn't fair.
