The devil promises a material paradise on Earth, which is false and immoral. Why should I accept one even grander? Why can't I reject handouts by our Diety and reject evil at the same time? Is my soul so wrong that I will lie alone after my death?

sticking to just your first question. It is not a material paradise. "My Kingdom is not of this world". Heaven may not even be a place, but a state of being.

So where exactly did you get the idea that Heaven was material?
That's been answered so let me address the second part.
God's original purpose for mankind was to live on a paradise earth (a material, real world, existence just like we have today except under perfect and ideal conditions).
That' is not the Devil's promise it is God's. He said that His word does not leave is mouth and be fulfilled.
From what I've seen, as much as I love this beautiful blue marble, I don't think that anyone can say that it meets up with God's plan to be filled with perfect, righteous individuals. That has yet to happen and something that I look forward to seeing.

Just so you get this straight the Devils name is Lucifer!
Oh, and one more thing. God Almighty can't seem to find a way to forgive him!!!
Think about that one for awhile. Does the question how powerful is god come to mind?
Anyway, to answer your question, yes you belong!
Every soul on this planet belongs. Even though it may not seem that way sometimes.
And just so you know, there is no evil!!! If you think there is, just know it is only another side of God!
"God" or whatever you want to call her/him is the author of all things.
We all live in the same verse! Hahahaha! Did I say verse?
Did I mean Universe or did I mean Multiverse???
Hahahahah!
Disfrutar de la vida y prosperar!

Look at it like this: God rewards His obedient people for withstanding the wiles of the devil and standing up for what's right in the power of the Holy Spirit. Think about this: we value gold and esteem it highly- but God uses it for asphalt in paradise!

for one thing, Heaven is not MATERIAL.
what kind of heaven would have the same things as earth?
only things on earth are material, things that dont last. and only the people in earth are materialistic.

Heaven is the presence of God. If you don't want that, you're not rejecting evil.

God intended Heaven for everyone is the best answer I can give you.
