As the integer stated, you can't buy the forgiveness of sins with an indulgence and you never could. The only method of remission of sins has always been the sacrament of reconciliation. An indulgence is any act done to shorten one's stay in purgatory. The doctrine for this has been around since the turn of the 11th century.

Hell was invented as a means of control. The reason it is ever mentioned in the Bible is because the Bible was written in the Middle Ages.

That statement is truly more asinine than anything Vince has ever said. The Bible was not written, in any portion, during the Middle Ages. The New Testament was written in the first century of the common era, though apocryphal literature abounded for centuries more. On your dipshit idea that it was revised in the middle ages, you should learn about a guy named Jerome. In the 390s he translated the Old and New Testaments into vernacular Latin, calling it the Vulgate. This is the version of the bible that was used from that time until the second vatican council. That's not a point of faith, that's raw history.
