The pearly gates are biblical. I think the keys are taken a bit literally. But that’s interesting to think about, actually

Transubstantiation is the doctrine that it ceases being bread and wine. Which St Paul kind of debunks in his first letter to the Corinthians at Chapter 11, where he refers to it as bread.
“For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”
What you’re talking about is consubstantiation, which is where the body and blood physically coexist in the bread and wine, which can be derived from the Bible.

The Trinity is clearly taught in the Bible. Sure, not in explicit Athanasius creed form, but Jesus even said “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).
Notice how “Name” is singular, implying the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is one thing, or at least equal. Jesus is referred to as God, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are also. And it’s made clear that there is one God. The Athanasius Creed is just the Trinity clearly defined in a single text. Clarifying interpretation (like the Nicene Creed).
Seven deadly sins are based off of various sins listed in the Bible, but most of it has kind of been overhyped and overemphasized. It’s useful for giving a rough idea of what sin is, but it’s been meddled with over time.

Neither of these mention St Peter at the pearly gates, though. The biggest addition the Apocrypha makes is a record of someone praying for the dead. Protestants generally still do recognise the Apocrypha, but just as historical records and not authoritative, hence not a part of the Bible.

No, not at all. God does the judging.

True, unless it’s open source and maybe self hosted

I heard of some kid who made bank setting up a hitman website on the TOR network and accepting payment in Bitcoin. He just handed over the information straight to the police and kept the bitcoin.

You get a contract killer to kill your previous contract killer. Duh.

- Comment on Trump's eligibility 1 week ago:
Yeah. I think an example also is the UK- It’s quite controversial, but Bobby Sands MP was elected from prison. Many people do see that as a good thing and a good exercise of democracy.

Good.
- Comment on Trump's eligibility 1 week ago:
I’d be honest, this makes political suppression easier. Just say this is the case, then next year, oops, all of the top dem candidates are being investigated. If people are dumb enough to want a traitor in office, then they should be able to carry out that stupidity democratically.

- Comment on Trump's eligibility 1 week ago:
I think Americans need to realise that Trump won by popular vote- anything to prevent this legally would be undemocratic. You’ll need to change social attitudes or maybe put up a better candidate/run a better campaign in opposition.

Bobby Sands became a British MP from Prison
- Comment on Trump's eligibility 1 week ago:
I don’t think it’s democratic to ban people with a criminal record from voting or running. If the people want to vote someone like that in, then who’s to stop them
- Comment on Did Trump vote? Could he have? 1 week ago:
Say what you want about trump, but I think felons should be able to vote no matter what. I even think people should be able to vote from prison.
