Purgatory is a mathematical absurdity. Any finite number divided by an infinite number of years is nothing. What’s the point of getting 30 years for each of your mortal sins and 15 years for each of your venal sins?

The idea is that you spent a finite time on earth accumulating sin and so you need to spend a proportional time in purgatory to expunge yourself of that sin, before you can move on to Heaven.

But then once you get to Heaven, there’s still a strict hierarchy. The folks exiting purgatory are recognized as “lesser” and do not receive the Members Only Jacket treatment to which the real hustlers and heavy hitters gain access. You join the spiritual proletariat and become one more lumpen mass of ectoplasmic labor.

Isn’t purgatory only a catholic thing? Or am I thinking of some other nonsense?

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
