    Would you leave your current religion if you were to know that you would not go to Heaven?

    How would you find out for sure that you would definitely not go to heaven?

    It's impossible to prove what doesn't exist.

    Obviously it would be nice to go to Heaven. I'm not sure I'd leave my faith and everything behind though, just because I would somehow know that I'm not getting in. It's about more than that for me

    There are so many religions, the chance of you having picked the right one is minute anyway, it's illogical to spend your life praying to the wrong God when some tribe in Africa have probably got it right. Sure, you could argue Pascal's Wager, but why not just live a good and kind life free from any flawed and illogical belief system, and gamble on the fact that God is benevolent enough to let you in.

    that's impossible, because if u were knew for definite that u were going to hell, u would repent and beg for forgiveness and pray to go to heaven, therefore God would forgive u and u would go to heaven, so u would not infact be going to hell after all, if that makes sense.
