If I'm not mistaken, I believe that Nietzsche referred to Dostoyevsky as the angriest christian that he ever met.  That is quite telling.  In TBK, it is Alyosha who weathers the trials and tribulations of belonging to such a warped family.  Not only that, but he's put through tests of his own, much akin to Christ and his 40 days and 40 nights.  In The Possessed, Dostoyevsky takes aim at nihilism through Verkhovensky, the radical who ends up killing a fellow man for "the movement"  Amazingly enough, Verkhovensky was a fictional portrayal of Sergey Nechayev, a real-life Russian radical and dare say, nihilist.  While you must go through tribulation before you get to heaven, the Bible dwells on them in varying degrees, while Dostoyevsky drags you through hell to get to the last two pages of "heaven" and some form of deliverance.

Or Cemetery would say.

The existing person who chooses the objective way now enters upon all approximating deliberation intended to bring forth God objectively (concretely-scientifically), which is not achieved in all eternity, because God is a subject and hence only for subjectivity in inwardness.
