Tricky Question
When you die, you see 2 doors. 1 leads into heaven and one leads into hell. Presumably(sp) you want to go into heaven.
Both doors are guarded by 2 guards, there are no signs that say heaven or hell, you are allowed to ask 1 guard 1 question. The guard guarding heaven always tells the truth the guard guarding hell always tells a lie.
EG you ask 1 guard is this heaven? hell guard says yes and heaven guard says yes. your stuck.
What question do you ask?

not quite. if you ask the guard from hell, he will lie and say no, but the guard from heaven will also say no, because it is the truth that the guard from heaven will lie.
I can almost imagine a petty God doing something like this. You die, you think "ah, final reward here I come" then you get to this test where you'd loose everything by going through the wrong door. You Bastard I'd want to say.
Still, the question I ask - "Is God the greatest?" or "Is God/Jesus the key to salvation?" Or something like that - the good guy will say yes, the bad guy of course will say no.
This is based on Christian dogma though, none of the theological debates about Gods before God or whatever or Jesus or anything.

assuming that heaven has guards, check the nametags of the guards.
if they say Scarmiglione, Alichino, Calcabrina, Cagnazzo, Barbariccia, Libicocco, Draghignazzo, Ciriatto, Graffiacane, Farfarello, or Rubicante, then that's definitely the gate to hell. I'd stick around and ask them to do that trick Dante described in the inferno where they blow trumpets out of their asses.

Why would heaven need guards? what, is someone who's in line or whatever gonna run through the gates and pick a fight with two of the beefier archangels like Michael or Remiel? I'm pretty sure those flaming swords really pack a wallop, even when you're already dead.
He's right their , unless your packing the spear of longinus don't try getting into a fist-fight with an angel.
