According to the ancient Greek religion, most people after their deaths went to the same place, only a few were severely punished and that was for terrible things, like Tantalus, for example, he killed his son, cut him to pieces, cooked him and served him as part of a meal to the gods (that were his guests). See, he realized that he wouldn't have enough meat for the whole meal and that's what he came up with. Zeus put the boy back together again as the gods realized what it was they had on their plate, except for one that was distracted. Zeus replaced the missing part with something else (my memory is a little fuzzy about what it was). Anyway, Tantalus was condemned for this vile act to be hungry and thirsty for all eternity but you have to admit what he did was horrible. Now with the new religions, everyone gets the terrible punishments and for transgressions amounting to traffic violations!! I thought people were supposed to be less barbaric than our ancestors, not more...
