It would be nice if G-d really does do something to the bad guys in the afterlife, and I used to sort of count on it, when I was naive about religion, and though I still find the idea appealing, the specific doctrines of Christianity and Islam have me thoroughly disillusioned o_O 🥺:confused:😒😑🤕...

Ok sure... or well... yes and no... We don't KNOW for a FACT what is "reality" in the case of the afterlife. We don't. Nobody does. So what we prefer / can/cannot accept certainly influences how we see the theories - But even more to the point, when there is something that does not seem logical...
