Your soul is on its way to the afterlife when suddenly you arrive in a room.
You look around and notice six humanoids staring at you.
You walk toward them and you can suddenly hear them talk between themselves.
They said "Not another one of those...".
Perplexed, you ask them, "is something wrong?".
Then they tell you "Of course something is wrong, we don't like your kind around here, you make our job too complicated!"
You then reply, "My kind?".
To which they reply "Yes! your kind! You did as many bad things as good things in your life and we don't know if we should send you to hell or heaven... You know what... Just choose by yourself!".
You quickly decide that heaven is where you want to go(of course).
So you look around for the door to heaven and then notice that the door to hell and the door to heaven, against all expectations, are identical plain wooden doors.
You then decide to ask them which one is the correct door.
NEED TO KNOW
-3 of them are demons working for hell and 3 of them are angels working for heaven.
-Against all expectations, demons and angels look identical.
-Angels are pure are holy and never lie.
-Demons are cruel and want you to go to hell no matter what. They will lie to you most of the time, but may tell the truth if they have a reason to believe it will make you fail.
-Demons can hear everything you ask to the others.
What is the best way to find the door to heaven if at all possible?
I will accept the cleverest answer!
Clarifications :
The demons are smart but not THAT smart.
They are trying to actively make you go to hell and will always tell you the answer that seems the most obvious to achieve their goal at the moment the question is asked to them. For example, if the very first question you ask happens to be to a demon, they will obviously tell you that the hell door is the heaven door.
Also note that no one is omniscient, that is why the detail that demons can hear everything in the room is important. That is the only source of information they get to fool you.
UPDATE
Some people seem hell-bent on closing my question , so I will try to lower the difficulty and perhaps post a few plausible answers of my own to let the people judge them in all fairness in an hour or so, after a few hours I will select the answer that seems the most liked by reading the comments before it is too late and the question do get closed.
New clarifications
Although the best way to find heaven was asked, the best does not have to be infallible, but simply the most likely to succeed. This does not mean that there is no sure way to do it, but for making it easier, the answer with the highest probability to succeeding will be chosen.
Also keep in mind that the demons are smart but not THAT smart, they are not prodigies that will be able to read 2-3 moves ahead of you. If you can come up with a very clever scheme, maybe you will get lucky.
Also keep in mind that asking a question simultaneously to everyone can be a good way to prevent demons to collect info and form a plan and change their answer.
Also keep in mind that the demons lie most of the time, except when needed. Which means that if the answer does not "appear" to help you in anyway to discover heaven or who is lying, they will always choose to lie.
