It's not like criminals are accepted or anything. There is simply no Christian concept of punishment. Filthy beings in this universe suffer punishments that have to do with the state of their souls, the loss of the Gods, and social and divine justice.
But the concept of someone misbehaving and being put into eternal fire is quintessentially Christian. The Gods are bringers of justice, justice is often related to punishments. This concept is true and it is universal.
But this does NOT mean that 1) 99% of humans are at fault, are bad, and automatically behave badly, etc. 2) 99% of humans go into eternal fire. People who commit crimes are punished in an ideal society, and their souls also get tied up with negative karma and other rubbish, the Gods bring justice against these people too, etc.
But if you think that all human beings will be tortured for eternity as you wrote in your posts, you are wrong. The Gods love humanity and are friends of humanity. They are not here to destroy it.
In fact, very often it is good to correct people: many find themselves doing stupid things precisely because they are unaccustomed to social justice. Think about those who don't do recycling or things like that because they're too lazy. It is very right that these people are corrected and helped to rediscover ethical values. This is to their support, not their eternal condemnation.
The fact that you think we are all deluded because we know about the Gods and their concrete essence through our personal experiences (which you have not had, in fact you limit yourself to believing what you have brought into your topics without having had demonstrations) is really just a your opinion which is not found in reality and which has no relevance to the actual state of affairs.
You are not actually asked to believe, you are personally very free as the Gods do not punish atheists, everyone is free to accept or reject the presence of the Gods in their life, it is being Christian or affiliated with similar doctrines that is universally evil and must be prevented.
What the user was telling you is that if you reject the Gods in your life, you miss out on a lot of the potential that your life could offer you. You don't have proof that the Gods don't exist, but as I wrote to you in my reply, everything brings you in the level of your personal experience to believe that the Gods are actually concrete:
It's so logical that the process should come extremely naturally to you. There really is no point in rejecting the idea of Gods. Especially after you have seen that certain things actually exist and are concrete.
Furthermore, the Gods are the bearers of true Justice in this universe and this does not involve them in eternal tortures where they burn souls and "prick them with pitchforks" as per disgusting Christian imagery.
The sense of justice of Christianity is based on slavery: do something that is unwelcome, not necessarily wrong, but unwelcome and you will be burned for eternity in conditions of limitless suffering, and also without remedy and without the possibility of improving, understanding any errors and be corrected.
It's not at all healthy in itself, and I don't know how people can look at this and say it's okay. Do you really like this form of "justice"? What if they did this to you? Maybe for your desires that you stated in your other posts like "I want nothing more than to see disgusting humanity suffer eternally" or something like that you could be accused of being a bad person.
And really, rather than being corrected and helping to understand ethical values, would you rather have someone burn you eternally for "lack of empathy"? Get over it, not all human beings are pedophile murderers and rapists without ethics as often are the people who teach these forms of "justice" (priests, bishops, cardinals and Popes, yes, it is enough to do a little research, even the Popes) .
Many people deserve to be re-accustomed to right values and correct in their self-destructive behaviors. Not persecuted "because they are imperfect humans". Think about it and not about "I want to close my mind at all costs because the Gods must not exist and this personal belief of mine makes me feel so good". You don't necessarily have to trust me, but at least experiment and see if the Gods in your life really "make you feel bad".
Don't think necessarily that "they are definitely a negative falsehood". Many Christians think that the Gods are negative, then they see how Christianity is a degenerative disease and they come here, rediscover the Gods and after years they tell beautiful satanic experiences always full of enthusiasm and happiness. It is not something shocking, absurd and unrealistic. It happens very often.
