This is strange. Explaining stuff to myself.

I'm only 26. And this is the first time in my life, that I noticed that I started to do this "mental gymnastics" by explain to myself, that even if I wish to live selfishly it doesn't mean that in afterlife there is a divine Creature of perfection, who might have to send me to unimaginable agony in afterlife, if I don't meet his standards.

Now I see why people avoid religion like "fire", because you gotta to embrace desperation to endure this form of voluntary "service"/self-punishment.
