- It does not come as a surprise. It’s not like we were cheated. We were given a fair deal: Do this and you will go to heaven and do that and you will go to hell, no secrets and no hidden catches. The choice is ours and the results/ consequences were told to us beforehand.

- Isn’t it comforting to know that those who did all sorts of bad things to others (killed innocent people, stole their money, usurped other’s rights or bullied them) won’t get away with it? Despite civilization and laws, there is no ultimate justice in this life, there are always powerful and weak, oppressors and oppressed. Isn’t it fair to know that justice will be fulfilled after all, and that not all these people will have the same ending: just die and that is all? Rather, everybody will be rewarded as they deserve?

- Heaven and hell are not the same for all people, there are several levels of heaven, so the more good you do the better and more indulged you will be in the afterlife. On the other hand, not all evil doers are treated the same, those who committed lesser sins will not be grouped with, or thrown into the same type of agony. Everything is recorded in very tiny details (atom’s weight) and all will be rewarded in complete fairness.
