Religion is a form of plastic surgery for the soul.
Religion compensates for the ugliness it conditions a person to feel on the inside,in other words, with the beauty of an idealized moral perfection of what it means to be human called Jesus Christ - a "God-man" who set the example of what God the Father demands all humans must aspire to live up to - even though God the Father knows full well that all finite things are equally deficient when being measured by such an infinite standard of human perfection as himself.
And to ensure that humanity is distracted enough to never notice this undeniable fact of life, God the Father threatens to torture for eternity all those who for fail to spend their life working like Sisyphus to try and achieve what God designed us to be utterly incapable of ever achieving; even if we had eternity to do it.
