The punishment has to be infinite or else you can't control people with the doctrine. Let's say the punishment was 1 million years... well, then people would think, "eh whatever, at least it'll end." Then once that happens-- oops! You can't control people any longer. There is a method to crafting fictional afterlives. The purpose is controlling people. Making them fear the unknown. The human mind can't comprehend death. Fertile soil.
