Sol has ignored infinite regression of causation, has chosen the Christian Gad among the thousands of others, and has chosen the Disciples of Christ as the correct demonization of the Southern United States sect. To get there, he had to assume a whimsical God who wanted to experiment with his human creation as a celestial game. He moved in mysterious ways by allowing humans to see how stupid and cruel his game was. Sol made a choice to believe despite evidence and reason to the contrary. He also guessed on which religion, church, and sect. Finally, he had to buy in on faith alone to the ideas of heaven and hell.
So, now what? He awakens on the eve of death to wonder what the test is for getting into heaven and avoiding hell. What is the test? Where is it written? How often must he pray? How often must he go to church? How many and what good deeds must he perform? How many evils must he avoid?
But he was about to die. The priest did the priest thing, and all was set for Sol's trip to heaven. What is Heaven like? Sol asked the priest. "What?"
