Heaven and hell isn’t for “good” or “bad” people. It’s for believers and non-believers.
You can be the most “good” person ever, but if you don’t believe in “God” (or Jesus, or whatever) you’re not going to heaven.
Inversely, you could be literally Hitler + Mao and genocide an entire population… but as long as you REALLY believe in Jesus and repent seconds before you die! (or whatever figurative loophole probably exists in your religion of choice).
So if I hit some pearly gates when I die, sign me up for Hell please…
I guess I just agree with your statement… but take mild issue with “good”.
Hell was never a thing in the abraham religions in the first place. The closest thing to it Sheol in the old testament, and that’s just what they called the earth you’re buried in.
That’s part of why Orthadox Jews believe only some certain thousands (30k?) of people will go to heaven. But I’m no expert. It’s all shenanigans anyway. Part of my point I suppose. Even by their own logic I’m not interested in what they think the better option for afterlife is… simply because it doesn’t reward by any valid “merit” system. Just “belief” in many cases.

Oh I’m aware,

I was just adding to your points. Tossing in some knowledge for the audience at home.
Shenanigans is a great word for all of it, i like that.
The Lake of Fire is actually a happening beach resort run by Satan’s failson. He calls himself the antichrist: his name is Doug.
