'First Date'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm not sure which branch of doctrine this belongs to, but apparently one purpose of Purgatory is for the righteous heathens, the ones like the Ancient Greeks who never had the chance to hear the gospel but who lived good lives. Or maybe it's the first circle of Hell in Dante.
My memory says this is the first circle of Hell in Dante, but memory is a shifty beast.

Your memory is correct. First Circle of Hell is Limbo, which is where the unbaptized & righteous pagans live. I don't know if Dante based it on any doctrine, but that's where he meets up with Virgil et al.

Huh. Although that means when you die, you could end up in Heaven, Hell, or the place that's pretty decent.
So what do you have to do to be a Righteous Pagan? If you're exposed to the Gospel but reject Jesus anyway, do you lose the Righteous Pagan option?
Yeah, it's only technically Hell. I mean, Buffalo and NYC are both parts of New York, right?

Yeah, rejection of Jesus pretty much ruins your Limbo qualifications. And no amount of dancing will save you.
How low can you go? Lower than that, apparently.
Oh, last class of the day, how I have grown to loathe and fear you. Every initiative falls apart under the weight of your apathy and anarchy.
Curses.
