All religions center around a being that has infinite power. The power to change all things in an instant. Not only that, it is that instant. If this god is good then there ultimately should not be horrible things occuring throughout the universe. If christians follwed christianity then there would be no rich snooty christians on there high and mighty crusade against the immoral. Christ taught gnositicism. The idea of knowledge that all things known are power and are god. Heaven is declared as within. There is no need to feel guilty for inifinity exists in the moment. If infinity exists and in all directions away from us there is no end, than we in fact are the center. A god within ourselves amongst many other gods, but really just one being as a intricate pattern of atoms and cells turning into a rythmic animation of all things. So in turn perhaps all gods and goddesses exist throughout all of reality. And perhaps the truth of the one god is that they are all connected in the mind. The gnosis, the knowledge. One mind expanding creating all things in a single moment that we only perceive as time to survive by the cycle of sun and moon. This does not exlude christ. Or jahova. Or yahwey. But this tells me there is no need to exlude other gods. Perhaps in christianity the flaw lies in the fact that angels themselves have different duties in reality. Godlike creatures themselves. Not to mention that if god is a the good entity and that Samael, or as you know it, Satan would be that evil entity. There are at least 2 gods involved really if you think about it.
All im trying to say is Think about your faith before you shove it down someones throat. There is no reason that as a mortal can know weather or not someone is punished by god in any way.
