The difference is that you implied you deserve a "lesser afterlife" because you are not a Christian. That is not the case and the difference has huge impact on the whole worldview.
I don't think anyone ultimately deserves anything be it good or bad.
But considering God knew that original sin was going to happen he condemned everyone knowingly anyway.
I mean, according to the Bible.
Nope. We condemn ourselves by our actions (free will and all). Apparently it is a greater good to have everyone live, enjoy each other, experiences and God's creation and ultimately some choose well and some choose poorly than no one exists at all.
