Spoiler Paragraph for Death & Pretzels' The Book of Maggie

In this show Peter guards the gate to heaven, just like in Christian tradition. He also has a phone he can talk to Jesus on, which really cracked me up because it was so absurd and not part of the original tradition. But then it turns out there is nothing behind the door he's been guarding. There is some really cool symbolism in Peter guarding nothing. I think that there are a lot of really interesting and good things about Christian belief, but sometimes people use it as an excuse to discriminate against people. When people do that, they are guarding something that doesn't need to be guarded. Access to fulfillment is free and doesn't have a single entrance. This show also suggests that there is no difference between heaven and hell because both of them are eternal, and that is what Judas says is so terrible about hell, the eternity. Return to review.
