It seems that St. Peter met a man who had just passed on at the pearly gates. St. Peter offered him the grand tour, and of course the man accepted.

As they were strolling along, they passed many groups of people laughing and celebrating, praying and studying, and doing all kinds of things. Some were Christians and some were Moslems and some were Jews and some were Pagans. There were even some Atheists, just marveling at the beauty all around them! One of the groups they passed was having a picnic, and there were pink triangles and rainbow flags everywhere.

“Aren’t the colors pretty?” St. Peter asked. “They always make me so happy!”

They continued on, and soon they came to a great wall. It was so high that no one could see over it, and so broad that no one could see around it.

“What’s in here?” the man asked.

“Oh, I’d like to show you,” St. Peter answered, “but I’m afraid we aren’t allowed in there.”

“What?” the man exclaimed. “Why ever not?”

St. Peter sighed. “Well,” he said, “you see that’s where we keep the fundamentalists. They’re just happier thinking they’re the only ones up here.”
