God And Gasoline And Things

By Brian Michael Barbeito

- Do you believe in hell?
- Uh...
- Don't be afraid to say whether you do or don't.
- I don't know. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. More no than yes.
- Oh there is a hell.
- Ya but you don't know that. It’s just something you believe strongly.
- And I believe in the Bible.
- That’s good. That’s good that you believe in the bible.
- Lots of people are going to be surprised when they end up in hell.
- Ya. I heard it’s hot there.
- You shouldn't joke.
- Look, whatever the case is, is the case. I didn't do nuthin'. I got born, but I didn't do nuthin' like I should go to any hell. And if that is the case, to hell with God.
- You shouldn't say that.
- God can handle it.
- You'll see. You just have a different path than I do. What I know now is just more of the same of what I thought all along. I just am stronger than I was before in my faith.
- Its good. Actually I always envied people like you. That is why I hang out with the Jehovahs. I absolutely love them. Always will. I would have loved to be like them. They are near perfect.
- If you think so.
- Anyway. It’s all pie in the sky in a way. It all has not much to do with day-to-day living. People are just people. It’s the price of gas that is the thing. Gasoline is more important than Christ in a way.
- Gasoline is not more important than Christ.
- Well I don't mean it absolutely. I mean it to make a point. Its day-to-day living that is the thing. Not theology. I never met a religious person that didn't think, even smugly to themselves, that they really had the right set of answers. Me, I play along, but I don't really give a fuck about it, not really. The truth will stand as the truth, whatever that is.
- Do you pray?
- All the time. You'd not believe it.
- That’s good. God might forgive you.
- Forgive me for what?
- For your attitude.
- I got not attitude.
- You have a different belief system than I do.
- Well, I don't have a set system.
- You'll get it.
- Sometimes I think I'd rather not. Plus the money thing. I never get the money angle, nor can I digest it. If you go to a healer or something, and they are going to help you, and it’s all under God, then why do they charge you money? I'd rather spend that money on groceries.
- You have high expectations.
- Something like that.
- Hell is very real though.
- I went to a place similar to hell once. I'll tell you about it sometime.
- I'll be interested to hear about that...I think.
- Anyhow, better to keep your eye on the goal, keep looking upwards, that’s what I say. Keep the devil and hell and all that underfoot.
- Your funny.
- I'm serious.
- So am I actually.
- I know. I know. That you are serious. I do know that. I can see that much.
