Heaven has 'extreme vetting'? When Republicans legislate from the Bible

[pbrower2a]

Joke:

A young black man named Leroy, a elderly Jewish woman named Sarah, and a Klansman have died and find themselves before Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates. They find a sign that says "WHITE  CHRISTIANS ONLY". The young black man, who has just been shot to death because a cop confused the wrench in his pocket with a pistol, complains

"That's just unfair. After all the oppression and abuse that we black people have experienced, we get that".

Saint Peter tells Leroy to step into the booth to the right, which he does. Then Saint Peter tells him, "Tug on the string, and look in the mirror". Leroy so does, and the shade rolls up, revealing a mirror. Leroy is then astonished to see a white man's image in the mirror. His new image. Leroy then responds, "What happened to me!"

Saint Peter then said, "Yes, that really is you, and that is how we solve the problem of bigotry.  Go on ahead; you are no longer barred from anything due to race. You will get to meet Martin Luther King, but like you he is now a white guy. " 

Sarah then protested, "But I have lived a good Jewish life as a loyal wife and mother. I participated in the Civil Rights struggle, which should count for something. My family -- even our dogs -- kept kosher. My husband and I ran an honest business. And I'm not going to Heaven? "

Saint Peter then told Sarah, "In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, you are now a Christian. Go on through. Anne Frank has a book signing for you to attend".

Sarah then emotes "Jesus and Mary!", an expression that she would have never made while alive.

Then comes the Klansman who has been blown up by bombs that he had made for an NAACP chapter and a Jewish community center. He notices the sign and figures it out as best as he can because he is barely literate.

"WHITE CHRISTIANS ONLY!" he reads. "Well, Saint Peter, I guess I won't have to go where you sent that n---- and that k---."

"No, you won't go where they went", said Saint Peter, who then pulled a lever that opened a trap door. The Klansman quickly found himself with fire, burning sulfur and pitch, and an overwhelming smell of a sewer, among the Nazis, Stalinists, and other such demons.
