Kamma or God's Will ?

Once upon a time there were two men. One man was a real crook. He would lie and take advantage of others. He would spread violence for no reason. He wouldn't take responsibility for any of his stupid actions. Yet, he was a firm believer of God and would not forget to thank God after every speech he made. He would 'praise the Lord' all the time. A real life example of such a man is former US president George W. Bush.

The other man though, was a kind and compassionate person. He would opt for reconciliation rather than conflict. He would not take revenge for those who tortured and harassed him for no reason, even if he could. He would build a nation, uniting different elasticities. He would be seen as a role model all around the world. He would be admired for generations to come. Yet, he would not pray or thank God. In fact, he would not even believe that an almighty God exists. A real life example of such a person is Nelson Mandela (he's a Marxist).

One day, both these men are driving their cars in the opposite direction. Their cars collide head on. Assuming that there is only heaven or hell to be born after death, who goes to heaven? Who goes to hell?
