You're probably not going to Heaven.

Remember my plans to get my teaching credentials? Hell, remember our plans to educate our children?

In 12-Step Recovery they say; "Religion is for people who are afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there."

And in Eastern Spiritual Thought they say; "Each and every day we decide weather we want to live in hell or live in heaven."

As a Taoist who firmly believes in reincarnation, I just smile when I hear religious types talk about their fairy-tale god, and their equally childish talk about heaven and hell.

I like that second one, although my personal version is slightly less poetic: "Maybe there's an afterlife, reincarnation, what have you, maybe not, who cares? We're here now, and let's work on making it the best time we can. There'll be plenty of time to moon over whether there's a heaven after we're dead."
