Bingo, which means that it seems infinitely unfair to grab immaterial minds and give them different capabilities in the physical world such that some will be destined for eternal punishment while others didn't fit the criteria to be judged at all.
Why did I have to be a human with the possibility to be hell-bound instead of a cat which gets a free pass?
