see me stretch for god's elastic acre
Behind the first question (how do I get salvation? how do I get into heaven? huh) is the loading second: why do I even want to? What's there?
In other words, antecedent and consequent. If the Architect really does exist, then maybe there's something worthwhile up there, in general. Conversely, if the Architect really does exist, then we accept that some shape of his myth is the real picture, and what do I need hanging around afterward trying to figure out if anything else is true?
If we all could only cooperate, and set each other aright on our way...
