I have those so-called sacred books and I need to put them on shelves but I am wondering - seriously now - which one to put first ? Do you think Yahve and Allah will fight with each other or do you think Buddha will be so mad that he will fart I mean stress ? Will I be able to go in heaven ? Or will the dark side of the force take me to hell ? I am puzzled...

Interesting way of putting things.
For some, Islam {and the Qur'an)brings them purpose in life, peace and happiness.
For some, Christianity {and the Bible) brings them purpose in life, peace of mind, and happiness.
For some, Buddhism {The Dhammapada) bring them purpose in Life, peace of mind, and Happiness.
For some, Humanism, or Agnosticism, or Atheism brings them purpose in Life, peace of mind, and Happiness.
What is most important is that we Respect the Free Will of all people.
For me, personally, Buddhism has provided me with much purpose in life, a stable peace of mind, and Happiness.
We all must find our own way to acquire peace of mind, and happiness for ourselves, while respecting the free will of others.
Buddhism has taught me Patience {which is the ability to remain calm, internally peaceful, and undisturbed in the face of harm and difficulties in Life), has taught me compassion {which is the wish for others to be happy, to have peace of mind, and to be free from suffering), has taught me Unconditional Loving-kindness {w/out
having to judge, criticize, or condemn others - respecting the free will of others), has taught me how to cultivate Peace, tranquility, and stability of mind {meditation), has taught me how to live with a humbly teachable attitude in life {which I am still learning to follow), has taught me Altruism, has improved my relationships with all people in life {especially with my wife and children), has taught me so much more = as I have been practicing all of this. I follow the Noble Eightfold Path, which has provided me with much Happiness, Purpose in life, and Peace of Mind.
But for some, Buddhism may not be best.
We all must choose our own path.
In Buddhism, heaven and hell are temporary places we go to, until our Kamma runs out.
The goal for us is Nirvana.
It is a dimension transcending time and space and thus is difficult to talk about or even think about. Words and thoughts being only suited to describe the time-space dimension. But because Nirvana is beyond time, there is no movement and so no aging or dying. *Thus Nirvana is eternal because it is beyond space, there is no causation, no boundary, no concept of self and not-self and thus Nirvana is infinite.
Siddhartha Gautama tells us that Nirvana is an experience of great happiness. He says: Nirvana is the Greatest state of Peace and Happiness !

The only way to Heaven is thru Jesus Christ, by accepting Him as your Lord and asking Him to save you and forgive you for your sins. The Bible is the only book wrote by God.
