Disbelief is punished naturally on this argument to the extent that an atheist will fail to make himself into the sort of person for whom eternal life will be a welcome and pleasant development.
Ah because what we think is pleasant and welcome is always what naturally develops. . .

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
