3 nuns standing before the pearly gates are asked by St Peter a question each before they can proceed to paradise. He looks sternly at the first nun and says, what was the name of the first man? The nun looks up and with some relief answers, Adam. St Peter smiles and says correct then moving his gaze to the next nun he asks , what was the name of the first women, the nun looks up and says Eve. Again, St Peter smiles and moves his gaze to the last nun and asks, what did Eve say when she first saw Adam. The nun looks nervously to the ground and murmurs, wow that's a hard one. St Peter laughs and says correct, paradise awaits.
An atheist dies and too her great surprise awakes before the pearly gates of heaven in front of which stands St Peter who greets her warmly. "Welcome", he says, "we have been expecting you", and with wave of his hand the gates open and he offers to show her around. As they move through the magnificent gardens St Peter gestures to the one side and says "over there are the Buddhist, and there the Hindus, and way over there you can just make out the Protestants". She looks around overwhelmed by the serene beauty of the landscape when she notices a magnificent wall stretching on into the distance. "What's behind the wall, she asks?". "Oh, that's where we keep the Catholics", St Peter replies, "they like to think there the only ones here"
