That's the whole point of setting the bar too high to actually succeed. Nothing less than perfection is adequate, and perfection itsself is pretty vague. The second you think something bad, which is not something you can control, you are flawed and thus unworthy. The system is set up to keep you trapped and obedient.
The punishment is also something n one could endure, depending on the denomination. A responsible adult may bravely face judgement for their wrongdoings, because a just punishment is never disproportionate, and you have an eternity to make up for your finite crimes. In order to make it so you HAVE to scapegoat Jesus, they make the punishment an eternity is fiery torture. And still call it just. Even the most righteous and selfless person, who would gladly take a just punishment for their crimes because that's part of what makes someone an adult, but still be convinced to obey through an unavoidable and evil punishment.
