Historically a lot of gods in many cultures just… don’t actually care. The Greek ones are particular famous for being callous to all their followers

Sacrifice, killing, worship, etc we’re moreso a means to appease the gods if possible for good harvest or whatever

The concept of a god that loves their followers is an exception to the rule

Understandable as gods were often the explanation for destructive forces of nature.

You should see the Christian God. This guy created an entire plane of existence just to torture people he doesn't like. Greek gods wish they had that mafucka's ruthlessness.

This is more a later interpretation of hell. Judaism didnt really have the idea, it was just the assumed misery of being dead and hated.
