He lived a quite entertaining and extraordinary life. He was essentially King of country and could have whatever he pleased. We all die eventually, and he lived a reasonably long life and didn't get 10000000000th of what he deserved.

I don't dispute this. Lots of people get away with doing bad things. Wanting that not to be so is a reason to want to believe in an afterlife where justice is finally served. However, it is not a reason to believe that is actually the case. Wanting something to be so does not make it so. I am particularly suspicious of believing things that I want to be true.
