Comment on If there was an afterlife, how would it work?

And anyone who still argues anyhow… will likely say they’re condemned to hell because they were unable to accept their “lord and savior” (who ostensibly created everything so he could larp as such,)

I thought that’s what purgatory was for (if we ignore no biblical mention of it iirc).

it’s not technically a place at all, but a state of existence. Basically, its the final purification of souls before being admitted into heaven; Catholics will say that if you die outside of god’s grace, you don’t go to purgatory at all, just straight to hell. (do not pass go, do not collect 200 god coins.) protestants (especially weslians, and maybe eastern orthodox, but don’t quote me on that,) would say that the final purification happens in the moment of death. (Wesely basically argued that they had become perfect enough in life.)
