Default By default there is no heaven or hell

If I go to Hell for not having heard the gospel, then I believe this paints a picture of our creator as one who abandons its creations, and is ultimately cruel.

If I go to Heaven by default for not having heard the gospel, then I believe that everyone should stop spreading the word. Because this implies that you only go to Hell if you've heard the word and then sinned. If you never hear the word, then you don't know what sin is, and therefore cannot be held accountable.

Thoughts?

By default there is no heaven or hell on this earth. Heaven or hell depend on our karmas or actions. Actions are of two types- good or bad. Good actions like- honesty, truth, compassion etc. bad karmas are violence, cheating, jealous, anger etc. You remember God or not but if your karmas are good, because of these karmas your heart will be pure. There are four things that are not in our control- birth-death, joy-sorrow, loss-gain, meeting -seperation. Apart from these four things, we make our destiny. This proves that your heaven is also in your control.
