Let's say there's nothing after you die, if you're presented with this choice, will you take the risk or not?

The choice is: there's a 50/50 chance of you going to either hell or heaven, and it's truly random, do you flip the coin? Hell is an eternal nightmare while heaven will allow you to live like a literal god/goddess.

The "experiment" is to know if in general, when people are confronted with the maximum standard of good/bad, do they take the risk, or maintain the statu quo? I believe that under the uncertainty, people would maintain it and not risk it.

Would the results change if other type of people answered? (e.g: people living in misery, people that lost all hope for their lives, etc)
 
If the choice of damnation or salvation was decided by a coin-flip, then I think I'd prefer oblivion, really. What kind of heaven would it be if the worst of society could happen to end up there?
 
Assuming Heaven is Heads on a coin (because they both start with HEA, and because the devil has a TAIL which is tails), I'd flip a coin until I got like 5 tails in a row, then shoot myself, which would guarantee heads for heaven. Check the math, bitches.
