Not if the afterlife includes hell, a place where an omniscient being
will use all of His infinite power to inflict infinite pain on you for
an infinite number of years and a place that can ONLY be avoided if
you have lived a perfect life.
I see, John, you have been misled by your generous and empathetic
nature. Hell is of great benefit to the many; as the many all imagine
their enemies going there. And the many emphatically point this out to
any who be their enemy.

I have a great deal of difficulty understanding why an infinitely
intelligent being would want to do that. But I find it remarkably easy
to understand why a human being, like a Christian priest or shaman of
some other religious franchise that claims to have God's cell number
and email address, would invent such an idea, he concocted eternal
damnation because it increased the likelihood he will be able to
convince other humans to do what he wants them to do. And priests,
pastors, mullahs and all other sorts of conmen like power.
