and yes I know there is more about Christianity that I am not understanding here, this is just an insight from my general experience with religion, there is probably something explaining this at least a bit more somewhere, I just don't really wanna go out of my way to find it.
this is why most religions sound so dumb to me, the general idea most religions have is "be good and you will be rewarded" but then they also throw in "also if you don't 100% devote yourself to this guy you have never seen and have little reason to believe exists you are still punished"
seriously those people were the worst, whenever anybody pointed it out they just downvote spammed them into a low rated comment it was annoying as hell
