We have our own more open and accessable paths to where we want to go in this life and in the next.

Can you be more specific as to what that is and what you base it on?

The Jewish religion greatly stresses doing the right thing in this life because God commands it. You will not find even a mildly religious Jew who does not know right from wrong, even if he has done wrong.

The religion includes a belief in the afterlife and most religious Jews believe that the souls of ALL good people go to heaven. There is no Hell in the sense of a place of eternal suffering. Bad people just stay dead, distant from God.
