Dice With Saint Peter
Here is the situation: a man enters a bar on Jaun Tabo Boulevard in Albuquerque, New Mexico and, after losing $125 in a game of Texas Hold’em, wagers his soul, trying to bluff 5-6 off-suit against top pair. After losing the bet he exits the building and is promptly hit by a bus. This raises the question of what is to be done about the matter of his personal salvation, but also the role humans play in their own redemption, and the significance of responsibility and guilt.
