If you could choose the Door to Heaven Or Hell?

Scenario:

You find yourself in a space of nothingness except for two doors.

And you see a guard in front of each door.

As you walk closer there is a sign that reads.

“The Doors ahead are the ones to Heaven and Hell. Once you open the door you will be sent there. You may not go close to the door until you have made your decision. You may ask the One Guard a question before proceeding”

The fine print reads

One Guard will always lie

On Guard will always be truthful

The doors have no labels and look exactly the same.

Which question do you ask?

(For those that have heard this riddle, DON’T ANSWER! I am looking for originality. )

Update:

please provide details on how you got to your reasoning.

    Would you tell me that this is the door to Heaven (or Hell, whichever I seem to fancy at the moment)?

    EDIT

    Is there more than one guard?

    might human beings end posting questions like this!!! circulate to a minimum of one and say "What door might the different individual say is heaven" And enter that door. offering you prefer to circulate to heaven, nevertheless.

    mmmm.... I'm pretty clueless :/

    I would ask a yes/no question and since he always lies it will have to be the opposite.

    so id go "Is this door heaven?" if he says no then i'd pick it, if he says yes I'd pick the other one since theres no other thing he could have answered with a lie.

    WHATS THE GOOD ANSWER ?

    :/

    I would ask one of them what the other guy would tell me where heaven was. Which ever one you asked both would tell you the opposite of heaven, therefore heaven is the other door each one would tell you.
