i'm looking for more than opinions on how horrible it is, eveyrone knows that background, but i would like to discuss what people know or understand about this particular form of faith, what is it that inspired those ideas?

Is roman catholicism christianity, can christian beliefs be joined with pagan beliefs, and still be christianity, why do people insist it's possible..why do some bibles have translations concerning hell, but arguements can be made there is no heaven or hell with other translations?

figuring out salvation was easy, deciphering everything else is sort of open to interpretation.
