I was raised Catholic. But I'm not anymore. They have lots of stupidity. But with all due respect, their constructs are conceptual. Nobody is supposed to take them literally. I know lots of Catholics do. Even some in the Church. But that's because they lack the mental ability to see things conceptually. Nobody knows for sure. Most Catholics understand this. And also, specifics are there for children. Children generally lack the mental ability to conceptualize. If one waits until a person is old and smart enough to conceptualize, it's already too late for most. And for those who are just stupid, it's better to have a dumb person fear God, than be immoral. I beg to differ. If church doctrine holds there is a Purgatory for souls to work off their sins, and there is a Limbo where unbaptized infants and pagans go, how is that "conceptual" and not literal? Nothing I've read from Catholic theologians suggests that. The concept is bad people will be punished. Good people will be rewarded. And everyone should get their kids baptized. Those are the concepts.
