"Everybody's down here", I said, "who's up in Heaven with God and the Son?"
"Oh, some saints and mystics and students of Metaphysics 101.
People who care and share and love and try to do what's right.
Beautiful old souls who read little stories to their babies every night.
What you won't find up in Heaven are Christian Coalition, right wing conservatives
Country music program directors and Nashville record executives."
"Now," I said, "I've made some mistakes, but I'm not as bad as those guys.
How can God do this to me, or can't he sympathize?"
He said, "You're wrong about God being cruel, I mean,
Oh, God is the most loving thing that's never been seen."
I said, "Hotshot, tell me this, which religion is the truest?"
He said, "They're all about the same. Buddha was not a Christian, but Jesus would've made a good Buddhist..."
It's sandwich time.
