I don't wonder at all. If I am naughty to other people, I will be treated poorly by them. If I am good towards people, I will usually be treated well.
Have you not experienced these phenomena before?

I could be completely horrid to people and not suffer 'eternal damnation'.
Yes you could, particularly if "eternal damnation' is merely a fictional human invention. However, you in real life your experiences would likely also be horrid.
Or you could be the nicest you could possibly be, and in return you get used and lied to for the sake of somebody else's gain. Not everybody follows your "nice" philosophy.
