I think I figured out what makes a soul go to either Heaven or Hell!!
In the latest episode Welcome to Heaven, we see a moment during the trial where Charlie asks Adam what he thinks it takes to get into Heaven. And he doesnāt actually seem to know. He makes a list of what he thinks got him there, but when provided evidence of a demon doing the same thing, defaults you āthen why isnāt he here?ā.
We realize that NONE of Heaven actually knows what gets someone to Heaven, and the characters acknowledge that angels are free to be as sinful as they want, but they still get to stay.
Which got me thinking, yeah, how did Adam get into Heaven? Heās awful. Then it hit me: heās there because he thinks he deserves to be. Think of the demons we know. Alastor, Angel, Husker, Cherri, Valentino. These are all people who have done wrong and they know it. If you were to ask them, I think theyād tell you they deserve to be in Hell.
Isnāt it strange? That weāve never met a demon who thinks thereās been some mistake? That they deserve to be in Heaven and they shouldnāt be in Hell? Hell should be chock full of people like that, but it isnāt.
I think itās because if you think you deserve to be in Heaven, thatās where you go. And if you think you deserve to go to Hell? Thatās where you stay. It explains why Adam is an angel-despite being a horrible person, heās completely self righteous, even saying āIāve never made a mistake in my fucking life.ā Of course heād think he deserves to go to Heaven! Itās how Molly went to Heaven and Angel went to hell, despite them leading similar lives-she thought she should go there.
If this is the case, then all the good deeds in the world wonāt redeem a sinner. The only thing that will is repairing them and their mental state enough that they truly feel they deserve better. And Iād be fascinated to see how that goes!
