Hey ProteinFarts!

I'm not religious, but I do believe in Heaven and Hell.

I'm not good.

I do not fear hell.

Heaven is not a reward for doing good.

Doing good is a reward in itself, and often results in other automatic rewards for yourself, and sometimes for many other people too.

Doing bad is not a reward in itself and most of the time results in consequences that harm you, and some of which may even harm other people for generations to come, including your loved ones.

First we must define what heaven and hell are.

If you have a person (God) in mind who literally lets people with a bible or koran in their hands pass and kicks everyone else to hell, its nonsense of course.
