Thank you for pointing that out. Many of the answers here haven't answered my question, which was "Why, on theism, do humans have a moral duty to do good or be good other than for a selfish interest in going to heaven or avoiding hell?". Most replies here answered some other question.

I think I answered your question very accurately. Worship god = good, don't worship god = bad, don't worship god but then take it back = good.

When it comes to gods,......... humans make funny rules.
