THIS QUESTION IS HYPOTHETICAL. I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE AN ARGUMENT OF SOME KIND. DO NOT EVEN ANSWER IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO SAY, "WELL THEY DO EXIST SO YOUR HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION IS TOO HYPOTHETICAL."

Even hypothetically speaking - logic would dictate that no one can prove that heave or hell does not exist unless someone comes back from the dead and has been confirmed dead for longer than 24 hours (to rule out brain hypoxia or similar possibilities) and could say one way or another.
THUS - I would still strive and desire to live rightly. And if you asked if someone come back and said "no heaven or hell" - then I would still strive not to hurt or cheat my neighbor, not lie, steal or any of the other things that cheapen life and sex.

I have lived as a very negative person, and as a positive person, and by far the latter is better. I am so much happier when trying to be a positive force in the world, than I was being negative. So, I would keep trying to improve myself, help those in need, volunteer my skills where they are needed, try to help the environment, to be patient and understanding, kind and empathetic and non-judgemental, etc.

Well when you find something out that is not what you expect, the best course of action is to move on with your life.
ITs not the end of the world, if heaven or hell is not real then live your life

I'd live my life the same. I am a Christian and following the Word has enriched my life beyond all my expectations because I know how to love people, accept them, tolerate difference sand be patient. When I am living my life in a positive manner; I get positive responses so it is all good.
Interesting question.

I don't categorize heaven and hell as real or false, but your question could be asking What if I found out there was no spiritual element, that everything in this life was "scientific", so I'll answer it that way. I would have less appreciation for beautiful sights, flowers wouldn't smell quite as sweet, moments would have less value, and sex wouldn't be as good.

I'd have to say, I'd probably live my life the same way I am now, morally and hopefully well. I've always been a nice person and try to uphold regular morals and such as well as waiting until marraige and alll that jazz not just because of my faith.

Anyone who lives their life because they fear the wrath of god would probably go crazy (in the same way that kids who are raised with incredibly strict households tend to cut loose way to much and go wild in college). Those of us who were raised to be moral because it's the right thing to do don't care about heaven and hell, because it has nothing to do with why we live our lives.

I would continue to worship the God who created me & blessed me with my home & my family. I would still live a clean & happy life. I've already tried the other life & I know there is pleasure in sin for a season but that season passes all too quickly & then you are left alone with no peace or joy. Even if God was to tell me that I will never go to Heaven I will still worship Him & thank Him for his many blessings, for a life filled with joy and a peace that passes all understanding.
