Yeah, but what manner of paradise is it? From the scriptures, we know that its climate is certainly more unpleasant than Hell. Heaven, after all, receives 50 times as much light from the Sun as we get here on Earth, which gives it a temperature of 525C. Hell, on the otherhand, can be no hotter than 445C, the temperature at which the lakes of brimstone would become a gas.

Heaven is undoubtedly lacking in said debauchery, which seems to make it sound like a very, very, boring place. I'm sure you're not going there for the scintillating company, either.

Live life as a total bore, die and be banished to oblivion. Great way to live. Pass.

Sounds like a plan. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow, we die.

I think the winning deal seems to be to sell your soul to Satan. After all, this seems to be the sort of thing Satan theoretically happens to go for, and if you can't manage to even sell your soul to Satan, this begins to shed doubt on this entire theory. After all, you're going to Hell anyway.
