Who's God is it Anyways?
A Skit By: Max Sprinkle
PETE: NEXT!!
WICCAN: I guess that's me.
PETE: And tell me why I should let you into heaven.
WICCAN: Because I am a good person, I've never done drugs or committed a crime. I even waited until I was married to have sex.
PETE: But you don't believe in god.
WICCAN: No, I don't believe in your god, but I am quite fond of mine.
PETE: [slaps his forehead in frustration] That's the whole point, since you don't subscribe to my religion, [to the audience] the right one, I should send you straight to the [gets carried away now] fiery brimstone of the dark depths of hell! [realizes he got carried away] sorry, I tend to get wrapped up in the moment.
WICCAN: Ok, so let me get this straight: even though I have lead a true and honorable life, just because I am not Christian or catholic or whatever, I am to be condemned to the depths of hell and have my eyes gouged out with spoons and my skin peeled of with a rusty butter knife for the rest of eternity?
PETE: [nods] Yup!
WICCAN: Don't you think that's a little hypocritical?
[WICCAN disapears with a puff of smoke from a flash pot]
PETE: [thinks for a moment] Not at all, I am a saint, therefore, I can do no wrong. [cheerily] Have fun in hell! [waves] NEXT!
CHRISTIAN: What's up old man?
PETE: [clears throat] My name is St Peter thank you very much, and it might do you well to show some respect.
CHRISTIAN: Yeah whatever, I got here through death row, why would I show you any respect.
PETE: Really? Well do you believe in god?
CHRISTIAN: Yes I do, I was saved about six years ago.
PETE: Was this before or after you were on death row?
CHRISTIAN: Um, before
PETE: Oh, well, we are all about forgiveness here so we'll let you in.
CHRISTIAN: Cool!
This was written for my stage in drama class when I was in High School. One of the requirements was that it had to be under three minutes in length. We barely made that cut off.
