runar, the problem with that is that many of the most irredemiable people are convinced they deserve the best things in afterlife, while some of the best people believe they’re wretched.
I had a friend who was as nice and sweet and kind and giving as anyone you’d ever want to know, but she hated herself. She did some terrible things, but no one suffered more from her actions than herself. One of her counselors summed it up as “Everybody loves Jane, except Jane.” (Not her real name.)
She jumped out a 5th-story window a couple of years ago. If she has the afterlife she thought she deserved, then the torment she suffered while she was living was just the beginning. (And of course, many would argue that the act of suicide itself is a “Go Directly to Hell, Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200” offense.)
My personal belief is that her suffering has ended. A God that would inflict any sort of infinite punishment for finite transgressions cannot in any way be considered “Just.” The idea that how we behave during a life filled with adversity is the criterion for admission to an afterlife where there IS no adversity is…stoopid.
