We're not all ending up in Heaven.
Easy to say when you have never been there.
If you are correct then break the logic of the O.P.

The lake of fire is in the Bible....numerous times. There is even Biblical verse of a rich man begging for Lazuras to wet his lips with a drop of water
Sigh. Literalists.
The bible also speaks of a talking serpent and donkey and a seven headed monster.
If you literally believe in those then you might be better off ignoring me.
Faith and literal reading of myths closes the mind. It is pure idol worship.
Faith is a way to quit using, "God given" power of Reason and Logic, and cause the faithful to embrace doctrines that moral people reject.
The God of the OT says, “Come now, and let us reason together,” [Isaiah 1:18]
How can literalists reason on God when they must ignore reason and logic and discard them when turning into literalist?
Those who are literalists can only reply somewhat in the fashion that Martin Luther did.
"Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.”
“Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.”
This attitude effectively kills all worthy communication that non-theists can have with theist. Faith closes their mind as it is pure idol worship.
Literalism is an evil practice that hides the true messages of myths. We cannot show our faith based friends that they are wrong through their faith colored glasses. Their faith also plugs their ears.
