I think this idea of eternal punishment arises from the human sense of justice. If you look at it, people tend to cringe at the possibility of someone doing bad things and getting away with it. Religion grasps ths and uses it to get their fanbase.Its like an arms race where every religion tries to get the best punishment for those wicked ones that escape the justice of Man. I guess a bronze age guy could've came up with this kind of bullshit.
