Description Michelle, a passionate atheist, arrives in heaven after death, quite disappointed. She chats with Saint Peta, who informs her that she will be assigned work for eternity, and she becomes increasingly unhappy. Peta, becoming aware of her own dissatisfaction at being misrepresented in the Bible, is convinced by Michelle to confront God, who Peta hasn’t actually met yet.

Michelle then meets Jesus, who is still depressed 2,000 years later about his crucifixion, being forsaken by his parent and his lack of direction. She is introduced to Satan, a drug dealer, with whom Jesus is very good frie
