My religion teaches that as long as you make amends for wrongs things will be ok, there is no purgatory like in Catholism, and that no matter how great the sin God will forgive you.

I take the santa claus approach, i figure as long as i outweight the bad shit i do things will be ok. Catholism is neat cuz they got that hell to scare the shit outta you with, whereas lutheranism ... i dont ever remember that being used as a scare tactic like it was against my Catholic friends. i dont think there was ever a description of the place, or satan, or anything of the like, except for the impression that satan was simply part of the way things work, and he can be anywhere at any time as anything...and nothing at all, simply a collection of bad shit people do to each other. its funny, thinking back, i barely remember any references to hell.
