It’s heaven, where the people who follow the rules end up. Even if you could just walk around the door, you would still have a back up as the people searched for a key, so that they could do it the ‘right’ way.
C’mon, why not the classic Roman Holiday ancient Mouth of Truth instead? Tank McNamara just referred to it in a June 7th strip last month too (https://www.gocomics.com/tankmcnamara/2023/06/07?ct=v&cti=577563)
Old joke. Three authors are on a book tour. They are staying at a fancy hotel on the 60th floor. There’s a blackout and the three have to take the stairs.
First writer is a comic, and he tells jokes for the first 20 floors, second writer is a romance novelist and she tells a love story for twenty floors. The last writer is is a horror writer.
“Once upon a time there were three writers, when they got to the 41st floor they realized they’d forgotten the key…”
I don’t think this would stop the lock-picking lawyer. He’ll open it four times in thirty-seconds to prove it’s not a fluke, and then accuse God of using Master Lock™ to provide security.
It reminds me of a short story I read in junior high. A person had to figure out how to escape a room, but failed. It turned out that the door was never locked.

Why does the angel doing the hazing have a halo? Anyone doing that kind of thing doesn’t merit one. And in fact should be at another afterlife place.

I made a joke the other day, to my Dutch wife. She’s agnostic ex-Catholic. She said, “There are gates? And why pearls?”

My keys are on a little fob that beeps when I push a button under my desk—not that that would help in the afterlife.

Just happening to be listening to Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” when I scrolled to this. For an old guy like me, that’s a bit scary.

The Bible says that only 144,000 people will get into heaven. Lambeau Field, with a capacity of 81,441, is far more exclusive.
