So here's this man, sitting for eternity in paradise next to his loving God,

Is it conceivable that anything could be more banal, juvenile, or crassly
stupid?

You've read it wrong, Bob.
Your behaviour doesn't affect where you end up.
Everyone's sins condemn them to hell.

You only get to heaven if you have
1. Admitted that you are a sinner.
2. Believe that Christ took your punishment on your behalf.
3, Committed your life (heart, soul and mind) to following him.

You can go on sinning and end up in heaven, not that you will want to
if you are living to please God.
