If you had to choose one to believe in despite maybe being a non-believer which would you choose-Reincarnation or Heaven/Hell?

Reincarnation

Heaven/Hell

[Kaneki05]

I have two answers,
1st Heaven/Hell would be better as it means I would retain my memory therefore a better outcome than Reincarnation because not retaining memory practically means you die as the person you are which is not any different to never coming back, as it makes no difference to you. You wouldn't know.

2nd Heaven/Hell is a paradox, it creates a problem of objective good and bad but... good/bad aren't objective they're subjective so how can there ever be an accurate measure of whom goes to where? Do I go to hell for eating cow? I am already cooked then without knowing said rule that was bad. Which the other problem I don't know what is ruled as bad or good?
If god exists and sets such rules how do I know? And you can say read the bible or some other religious text but that does not in anyway clearly describe good and bad.
Religions break into sects disagreeing with each other all the time on what is or isn't the right way?
Plus I'd argue it's bad to enforce rules as a dictator and what does god do if he objectifies such rules as you'll go to hell or heaven based upon if you follow his view of good and bad?

[Kaneki05]

Also if I choose to only be good to get a reward of heaven then was I good? Or simply doing something out of my own selfish interest? It does not make sense.

right now I feel like... "I really hope there's a hell"somewhere else... because here on earth, all those people from that infamous Island... should all go asap

[Persephone02]

Right they should

[MontBlanc]

If I had to pick, probably reincarnation.

The idea that you keep learning and growing through different lives feels more aligned with how people evolve. It frames life as a process, not a one time test.

But honestly, the value is less in the belief and more in how it makes you live. If a belief makes someone kinder, more responsible, and more aware of their choices, that’s the part that matters.

I think I will always believe in heaven and hell over reincarnation.

[Persephone02]

Same here

[Gobbyjobby52]

Reincarnation. I don't like ultimatums that are permanent i want the flow of life itself to be light, impermeant and partial not a all or nothing where if I don't do exactly what scripture saids and have whole hearted faith at all times, i go to hell, that's scary tbh.

[strateguy632]

Faith aside i would choose not rebirth because a merciful god would not make people live again and again in this life of suffering. Especially the way Hindu described. luckily new testament said, from someone who knows spirit world: we 'die once'. So not reborn.

[BCRanger10]

Reincarnation sounds just plain awful. Having to live over and over and over again as different creatures or different people? It's nonsense.

[Persephone02]

Well until you reach nirvana I think or enlightenment

[BCRanger10]

What would be so great about that?

[Persephone02]

It's like Buddhism version of heaven I think.

[BCRanger10]

Okay. How is it any better than the Christian concept of Heaven?

[Persephone02]

I guess it's not really.

[slatyb]

It's not possible for me to believe in either. Disbelief is not a choice, it's a conclusion from the available evidence. Could you choose to believe in unicorns?

[Anonymous]

Accordin 2 a few peopl who've had near death experiences reincarnation's a choice.

[Persephone02]

Hmm... that's kind of hard to believe.

[Opinion Owner]

One person who had one said they had 2 for some reason, I forgot. They had no choice.
