Don't blame Satan if things don't work out. It's God's plan right? (lemmy.ml)

I always wondered about that. When would enough be enough.

It could take hundreds or thousands of years but no one person deserves unending punishment for finite sins.

Depends on the flavour of Christianity

At one end unforgiven sins condemn you to the ancient Greek underworld, slightly modified

At the other end you land in limbo if you haven't been perfect for a time that fits, thence to heaven for the rest of forever

Beyond that end, their god is infinitely forgiving so everyone goes straight to heaven.

Slight correction, but limbo was the 'first' area of hell, where you just get bored forever. Purgatory was where you washed off the crusted shit on your soul and could eventually get into heaven.

Thanks. It's been decades since my last bit of mainstream Catholic education
