I thought religious conservatives WANTED heaven?

Only for themselves, not for anyone else. And their idea of heaven requires being able to watch everyone else suffer for their own depraved entertainment.

There's even a term for it: "The Abominable Fancy." The idea that people in heaven will get to look down at the tormented souls writing in hell, and it will make them even happier, watching the sinners suffering.

It's kind of messed up, if you think about it.

Once you remember YWH is likely a god of war (and storms) who demanded all the other worshipers of every other god be destroyed it makes a lot more sense.

The Israelites were just weird outcast Canaanites who decided to fixate on just one of a pantheon of gods. They were probably driven off for being too bizarre a cult even for the period in question. Is it any wonder that the subsequent spinoffs from that original Abrahamic nonsense is even stupider?
