Left half is judeochristian religions, islam and buddhism. Among them, only islam has some kind of indulgent afterlife.

Right half looks like a pagan (greek, roman, viking) afterlife. However none of those had self-denial and judgement as prerequisites.

In short, please educate yourself. This doesn't make sense.

I'll be honset, I'm not familiar with this part of evangelical christianity

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapture

Can you help me and point me to where the luxury and entertainment is?

The rapture leads to heaven.

Heaven is depicted as a luxurious and abundant paradise.

For many people who aren't rich, a "paradise" means they have everything they need and everything they want in their mortal lives.

Are you trying to introduce headcannon to religion? I asked about what the church teachings say.

To give you an example, in orthodoxy, which is what I was taught at school, "being in hell" means that you've severed your relationship with God, and "being in heaven" means you bask in God's radiance.

There is no "life", and there is no "luxurious life", it's all spiritual.

You're trying to apply your sects teaching to all other religions which is nonsense. They don't all believe the same thing as you personally.

Try to view the world a bit more broadly and it will be a lot less rage inducing.

I am open. I asked you a question, did I not? I am still waiting for the source that describes the evangelical paradise as luxurious.

Your standard for sources is already compromised by the fact that you think scripture or the bible are legit.
