...as god is good it must be a bluff.

A bluff wouldn't be terribly good unless it serves some noble purpose... I'd say it's a cryptic message of goodness badly misinterpreted and often misused and abused by fallible humans.

The point would be to put someone in a position where they see how unfair their punishment is and then to realise that it can't be the product of goodness. Thereby they learn what being good means. I suspect with some people it would take a long time, but most will probably get there after a few billion years.
What noble purpose could any god have other than giving us the joy of appreciating something for ourselves?
