2 door that leads to either heaven or death. 2 guardians: one is honest and the other is a lier. What question will you ask in order to go to the right door??? Only one question.. for the two.

This is not the hardest question of the 21st. Century! It is a very old question called the liar's paradox.
Ask either of the two guardians which door the other guardian would advise you to go through. This ensures that the answer includes a lie. So. whichever door you are told the guardian would advise you to go through, choose the other one.

Question the doorbitch: "Why do I deserved to go thru that door?"
Reason
The guardian will always try to protect what's behind the door. It will be fishy if the guardian wants you to go in. And by the answer of the guardian and knowing yourselk well, you'll know who's the fat liar is!

ask the two guardians a simple question. would you mind cutting me in half so i could go through both doors? the one that is willing to go through with it would be the one that is a liar who's door leads to death. the one who resists and doesnt want to go through with it would be the honest one and who's door would lead to heaven.

ASK ANY ONE OF THEM .. THIS QUESTION :
"WHERE THE OTHER DOOR LEADS TO "
SUPPOSING HONEST GUARDIAN DOOR LEADS TO HEAVEN
IF THE GUARDIAN IS THE HONEST THEN HE WILL SAY THE TRUTH OF THAT DOOR . FOR EXAMPLE DEATH ..
IF THE GUARDIAN IS THE LIAR THEN HE WILL LIE .. AND SAY THAT THE OTHER DOOR LEEDS TO DEATH ..
THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHO WAS THE HONEST . AND WHICH DOOR LEADS TO HEAVEN ..
IF YOU SUPPOSED THE HONEST DOOR LEADS TO DEATH .. ALSO YOU CAN KNOW THE DOORS WHERE IS LEADING ..
BY THE WAY DID YOU ASK THEM ANY QUESTION YET ..

Last time I checked you had to be dead to go to heaven, is that still true?
Liar answers No, Honest one says, Yes.
Kind of makes the death/ heaven dichotomy fall apart, but that's ok....

Go watch the movie Labyrinth. The one with David Bowie and all the Muppet's. Its an 80s movies and it had the same situation you described.
So I guess its a 20th Century question.
Good movie by the way

You ask either one "which door would the other guy say is the door to heaven?"
