Unnatural Acts
Locksmiths rule the world. We're so obsessed with "private" property that even the gates of heaven are presumably locked, with St. Peter possessing the keys. I wonder, if one were to preach from the Bible, Acts of the Apostles chapter 2, would he be respected for his religious fervor or reviled as a commie: "Now all those who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need?" Sharing doesn't come naturally to the human animal, neither devout Christians nor impassioned Socialists. I remember one of those evangelical preachers, a man infamous for his impious accumulation of wealth, once being asked what his denomination was. "Fives, tens, and twenties," he answered.

As is happening all over the world, I suppose the Gates of St. Peter must be computerized by now. Instead of standing in line in front of the judge’s bench waiting for entry into Paradise or reassignment to the Hotter Place, good people who have earned bonus points in life can call ahead for a reservation, even use a pre-paid card for instant entry. If there is some doubt St. Peter can google you and make an instant assessment. I’m not sure how they’re running the Other Place. Lord knows there must be a lot of technical support people down there.
