I don't think it works quite that way. You see it is not actually the money that sends one to hell, but it was the way in which the person got the money through greed averice etc. Giving the money away right before death would not wash away those sins.

Did not the Catholic Church sell indulgences to rich sinners when they were dying? Did this not lead to a bunch of Christian Reformers protesting the fraud? I heard they were called Protestants. Then they printed the Bible in everyday language so anybody that could read could interpret the scriptures their way. Great hardship and confusion ensued.

The point is to never sell a pass to heaven. God is a socialist and becomes offended. Passes have to be earned before being given away.

Well you need a gold coin to get to hell. I heard Charon doesn't accept American Express anymore.

Spending eternity with the likes of these yo-yos? Now, that does sound like Hell! Not gonna take any chances. I'm going right now to donate all my millions.
