Any "evil" suffered in current life will be compensated with reward in afterlife.

The concept tends to fall apart with modern Christianity where everyone just goes to heaven and hell is written out.

That doesn't work. People with crap lives often can't meet the standards of goodness that many forms of Christianity need for you to be qualified for heaven

Something about camels and needle eyes.

But definitely don't bring that up with the american 'christian' or you'll have to hear the litany of excuse attempts.
