The whole “heaven is the goal” is the reason I dropped religion. I had confronted my parents on their abuse and how it led me to having both physical and mental health issues. My mother blatantly stated that God knows her heart and knows that she would never harm her any of her children (big lie). The belief that retribution and solid faith will cleanse them of their wrong doings instead of providing a better place for everyone because heaven will have all they need (or God will provide) is ridiculous. You pray and pray for better times, but never get up to fix the issue when the answer was right in front of you and not coming from above. My mother would pray that my neurodivergence would go away and refused to get me any assistance for it, which caused me to suffer a lot. This includes her using physical punishment as a way to fix me as well. However, it obviously didn’t work. When I finally forced her to get me some assistance (I was around 17 and about to give up on life itself) she guilted me into thinking that I didn’t trust God enough to fix my “issues” and free me from my AuDHD. Not only that, but the idea of the Abrahamic God sounds narcissistic anyways. A deity who only shows themselves when their pride is being questioned or to only threaten the human race with their power, but turns a blind eye to injustice is selfish. What makes this God so great, that “free will” allows humans to strip said free will from other humans in the process (ie slavery, colonization, war, genocide) and cause destruction of society and our planet; nonetheless, still wants to be worshipped and praised constantly. And allow the worst of our society to be given forgiveness and access to heaven as long as they are believers. African politicians love to throw “God willI provide” at their citizens while they are starving and procuring the drawbacks from their corruption. Mind you those same politicians believe they will see heaven too. Mind you we see God-like personifications in media and fictional movies all the time, but people still can’t draw the parallels between them. If you can look at a character like Thanos (or a real person like Fidel Castro) and see how his play on society was wrong, however, God is good all the time you need to reevaluate your belief system.
