Many people are taught to tell others that they know that they go to heaven if they know that Jesus was God. If you were one of these people and or if you belonged to an organization that helped you get to the top in the world because you went along with the program and didn't challenge their tennant beliefs, if you realized that it was a hoax and that it helped you in a material sense to get where you got to moneywise and socially, would you confess that it was all a hoax and that you did it so that you could survive cause that is what your ancestors did and you were just numb enough to follow a pied piper like many do?

It is a fact that we all only have a short time to live! Whether or not your believe in eternity, heaven, hell, reincarnation, alternate reality or that death is the absolute end does not change that for anyone. My personal motto for this life is to follow my own path and live every day to the fullest no matter what someone else thinks. The only way to do that is to accept the fact that there will always be others who will attempt to control and if for whatever reason you have to interact with such people, as we all do, you must remember that at any given moment while you may not be able to control the ignorant actions and decisions of others that place you in situations you find unagreeable, you can choose how you react and how you allow it to affect your life. If you don't want to follow the leader, then be one yourself and go your own way. The important thing is whether or not you can look in the mirror at the end of the day and truly and genuinely like what you see. And if you cannot admit to or confess to a realization now and free yourself of the hold over you, what makes an end of life confession anything but an attempt to cast off the inhibitions and regrets just in case you need to be cleansed for whatever might come next? Why does anyone feel the need to confess transgressions at this moment when most of the time it only serves to place your life's burdens onto the shoulders of someone else un-necessairly. My suggestion to you is, Love life, experience it as a gift, look at each day you are given as another opportunity to be better than you were yesterday, make a difference, be yourself and stop worrying what anyone else thinks and no matter what your social, economic or religious status is you will realize more happiness and feeling of living a successful meaningful life than you could possibly imagine. Anything else after that is a bonus and I personally hope to find paradise on the other side with all those I loved who have gone before me waiting to greet me as I come through the gate.

What does it matter if you are dead? If it is a hoax and you believe it, remember that it is not only you who have been deceived. Those many people who were taught were also taught of the same thing. If you are still alive however and you found out that everything is a hoax, then let your conscience dictate you as to what better way you should do to correct it unless you are afraid to lose grip with your money. In that case, you have to go to Bahamas and change your identity.

No, absolutely not.
I do believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh (Incarnate). I know what will happen after death.
I saw my sister, who believed in Jesus Christ, die of leukemia. She was in a coma for three days. She suddenly sat up, put her arms forward, as if reaching out to someone (Jesus Christ) and then fell back onto her bed and was dead. The doctor said that it was the most peaceful leukemia death that he had ever almost witnessed as most leukemia patients cough up blood just seconds before they die.
Recently I had to face the possibility of death myself. I thought I might have a short time to live.
I was diagnosed with cancer. I needed surgery. I went into sugery knowing full well that I could die under the knife.
I knew that if I did die that I would go to Heaven to be with Jesus Christ because I knew that there are two ways to live and I had chosen The Way.

The bible does explain what happens after death. Death is what it was like before you were born. The dead are conscience of nothing. Hell is not a fiery place of torture, it is simply the grave, nothingness. The good news is there will be a ressurrection. Jesus had sayings of everlasting life. Millions now living will never die. Think about it...if Adam and Eve never sinned, where would they be now?

Hebrews 9:27
And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,
Not even taxes are for sure.
Death and judgment are.
