Infinite punishment for finite sin is Adam Smith in action.
God has raised the ante so high on sin that there is no possible payoff to justify the risk.
Pretty clever, actually. Too bad it doesn't work. Also, it's a bad deal for God and His staff, infinite punishment is expensive. You steal a communion wafer, pee on it, and put it back. Not a big deal for you, but Satan and his minions are going to have to enter it in the ledger, devise a punishment plan, and then carry out that punishment over the next infinity of years.
And all the while the overhead of running Hell accrues.
