A Christian named Jack who owns a bakery dies. He appears before God and St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. You know the ones. Big and imposing, gleaming metal against a backdrop of blue sky and clouds. Jack arrives, chest held high. He’s pumped.

Jack: Hello, Lord. Hello, St. Peter.

St. Peter: Welcome, Jack. We’re here to determine if you get to walk through these gates.
