I stand at the white throne—a luminous chamber, where the Trinity stand, books open, scenes from my life replayed on the walls.

“You fell in love with a girl at the age of 18.”

“Yes. That’s true.”

“You lay with a woman as with a man, while in college.”

“I did indeed make love to her, I won’t deny.”

“You cursed the Lord more than once, blaming Heaven for your pain and grief.”

“There were times when I couldn’t bear hearing that my tears, my anger, my losses were all my fault.”

“You don’t think that being queer is a sin.”

“Do you think that being left-handed is a sin? Or having green eyes?”

The books close.

“One more thing: do you really think that you deserve Heaven?”

“If you mean to tell me I’m guilty if I take back what I’ve said and done—by all means, send me to the Pit.”

Silence.
