Yeah but do you really think they would create heavens for some of the most hateful people on the planet? After preaching about the biggest bullshit ever loving each other.
Digressive Victims do not operate on the thought that actual repent means making amends with your neighbor, and ensuring it doesn't occur again. Because if that was the case, they wouldn't evangelize, ministry, or preach. Cults thrive in manipulating short-circuits our brains adapted to survive this harmful planet. They don't bother to think “maybe enforcing my religion is wrong,” they think “God will forgive me for adding another sibling to your family, hallelujah!”
Their faustian myth of an afterlife is what makes the cult incredibly dangerous, because all evil under our universe is granted, so long as it’s done under God's grand plan: “He will reward me for my deeds in ‘paradise’.”
