  • The most important aspect of Her new system is that everyone is treated equally. There is no longer fire for some and harp music for others. The afterlife is no longer defined by cots versus waterbeds, raw potatoes versus sushi, hot water versus champagne. Everyone is a brother to all, and for the first time an idea has been realized that never came to fruition on Earth: true equality.
    The Communists are baffled and irritated, because they have finally achieved their perfect society, but only by the help of a God in whom the don’t want to believe. The meritocrats are abashed that they’re stuck for eternity in an incentiveless system with a bunch of pinkos. The conservatives have no penniless to disparage; the liberals have no downtrodden to promote.
    So god sits on the edge of Her bed and weeps at night, because the only thing everyone can agree upon is that they’re all in Hell.
