IS there even threat of eternal punishment? Wasn’t Hell basically described simply as a place where people who don’t follow God go? IIRC the fiery depths of torturing were created because people were not really bothered by original. Same with goat lookin Satan, which at first was shown how he was described - as a fallen angel.
It doesnt matter if we can define if it is a threat from a outside perspective with a historical context and it doesnt matter that god is actually not real because if you are a kid growing up and your parets tell you that you will die and go toll hell to be punished for eternety for some reason it has a big impact on you. These kids dont have the outside perspective or a history backround to know better, it will affect them. Even if it seems sus to them, untill a certain age kids will just beelieve what parents or other important figures tell them and if you grow up in an environment where everyone beelieves this it gets ingrained in you. It took a shit ton of time untill i aceppted that it was ok to also think guys are hot after being indoctrinated for most of my life. The deconstruction of all the bullshit and absolutly awfull morals and ethics you learn is very hard.
