Bandwagon fallacy, also known as Argumentum Ad Numerum. A widely held lie
is still a lie. Unfortunately, most people are willing to accept the most
absurd stories on faith rather than face the imaginary consequences that
have been pounded into their skulls since they were old enough to parse
language. Even more unfortunately, it only takes a little bit of
investigation to see how full of **** your stories are, including your
Ultimate Punishment.

Which is why the "Ultimate Punishment" was added to the dogma. Otherwise
your religion would be on the same list as Mithraism and Zoroastrianism.
Got any evidence that Jesus is any more real than Zoroaster?
Making claims without backing them is not evidence.
