“I hadn’t really thought about it, to be honest.”
“You have been an honest man, although you never believed in the One.”
“The One?”
“The One True God?”
“Yeah, Him. No. Not really. I didn’t really realize that was part of the criteria.”
“It is. In most religions, but especially in The One True Religion.”
“I see.”
“So why should I let you in?”
“Hm. Is Louis Armstrong here?”
“Who?”
“Louis Armstrong, the jazz guy?”
“Jazz guy? Oh, Heavens no.”
“… So he’s in Hell?”
“Yes.”
“Hm. Can I go there then?”
