“Allow me to explain the Good News my religion proclaims,” said the preacher.

“God is love. And He loves and rewards us forever if we observe His commandments.”
“IF?” said the Master. “Then the news isn’t all that good, is it?”

“What sort of Good News is it,” he asked, “that makes it so easy to go to hell and so hard to get to heaven?”
