Good people go to Heaven in the Abrahamic religions, while Buddhism and Hinduism have concepts about karma, reincarnation and Nirvana. Somehow it's got to pay off to be virtuous and follow the doctrines of the religion, but obviously it doesn't always seem to pay off in our current life, so therefore there has to at least be a reward in the afterlife or the next life. Contemporary spirituality also seem to have adopted the concepts about karma and reincarnation, although they sometimes seem to think it really will pay off in our current lives, at least partly.
I was just thinking, assuming there is a God or some divine force, how ought divine justice to work? Some old guy with a beard sitting in the clouds judging you for your good and bad deeds? Some divine mathematical formula that determines the shape of your reincarnation?
