Joke: The Dividing Wall in Heaven
Nima Hazini
happens that on the day he enters Paradise it is also Saint Peter's day off.
Having nothing better to do, Saint Peter offers the man the Grand Tour and
so they spend the day looking at all the wondrous sights and sounds.
At the end of the tour, they reach the far side of heaven, and, lo and
behold, there is a massive wall reaching into eternity dividing one side of
heaven from the other. Confused, the man asks Saint Peter, "what is this
wall here for and what is its purpose in heaven and what is on the other
side"? Saint Peter sighs, throws his hands up and rolls his eyes and says,
"Oh, on the other side of this wall is where you will find all the Born
Again Christians." "Why is that," asks the man? "Why do you keep all the
Born Again Christians on the other side of the wall." Embarrassed, Saint
Peter replies, "Well...um...er... we let them think they're the only ones up
here"!! ;-)
cheers,

many people there also. First the angels let the town drunk go in, then that
lady that every one talked about in town go in and then finally the worst
happens Saint Peter lets a Democrat in heaven :( When it finally comes time
for Jerry Fallwell to go to heaven, he gives a short reply to Saint Peter,
"I am not going in there with all of that riff raff".

I've heard this joke told about Catholics. The twist in the version I heard was
that there were three rooms - one for the Jews (very academically-oriented,
very boring for the person getting the Grand Tour from St. Peter), one for the
Protestants (rather sedate entertainment was going on, as this was the room
filled with Methodists and other mainline Protestants, so the person getting
the Grand Tour turns down this section of heaven as well), and then the
Catholic room (the dead man decides to stay here, as this was the party-hearty
room with much gambling, drinking and general bonhomie, but St. Peter warns him
to avoid mentioning the other two rooms, as the Catholics think they're the
only ones in Heaven).
The joke has been floating around since at least the early 1970s, when I heard
it.

I died and went to heaven...just inside the gates was a huge flight of
stairs that disappeared into the clouds...at the base of the stairs a huge
pile of chalk sticks as thick as your arm and as long as your leg...the
angel at the gate explained that I was to recall a sin I had committed then
mark a step with the chalk...I was to continue doing this as I ascended the
stairs...when I had recalled my last sin and marked my last step a door
into paradise would open and I could enter.
I was about halfway up the stairs when I became aware of a figure running
down the stairs towards me....I was astounded...."Fred G!" I cried "What are
you up to now"???
"I'm going back for more chalk"....said Fred

This joke is certainly not about the Baha'i Faith and could be
considered in bad taste by those you have included in the joke. It's
not the joke that I am pointing out here.......... but you. On the 18th
you decided to let at least 2 people know that their posts had nothing
to do with the Baha'is....... The first was an exceptional poem and the
other a very interesting thread. I have read your Themestream articles
and they are certainly nothing to be proud of. Get off your horse and
let your feet hit the ground. Maybe you weren't cracked up to ba a
cowboy.

at those people who believe that "Everyone is going to hell except me
and thee - and I'm not so sure about thee." Of course, that was a very
long time ago, in joke years.
As to the last paragraph or two, I'm reminded of another saying, found
in the Gospel, "Let the dead bury the dead."
'Abdu'l-Baha' has something to say about how we ought to speak of
others, what we ought to feel towards others and it might be advisable
for us all to redouble our efforts to be more like Him, and less like a
newsgroup version of Inspector Harry Callahan.
