[ WP ] God shows you 3 Doors . Door One leads to eternal happiness , Door Two leads to infinite knowledge . Then there is Door Three , and God has never opened it yet .

I stand by some incarnation of God, and we stand before three doors. I am not sure what to choose. 
 
 `` What does everyone else choose?'' 
 
 `` Door 1. Knowledge by its very nature leads to unhappiness. That is why I tried to keep Adam and Eve from it. Some choose it. Many scientists and writers and just curious types. It is a small number of those who choose. Maybe 1 in a 1000. Humans like mystery, and no human has ever lived without sadness. Eternal happiness is an easy option.'' Says God. 
 
 `` And door number 3? What is behind that?'' 
 
 `` You know, most people never get past door number 1. If they do, door number 2 is sufficient. No one has chosen it. With infinite knowledge, anything is possible.'' 
 
 `` So, I'm the first to inquire about it.'' 
 
 `` No, not the first, but you will be the first to choose it.'' 
 
 `` I'm going to choose the third door?'' 
 
 `` Yes. Lucy will be happy.'' 
 
 `` Lucy?'' 
 
 `` Yes, Lucifer.'' Says God. 
 
 `` What is behind it?'' 
 
 `` You will see.'' 
 
 `` Is door 1 heaven?'' I ask. 
 
 `` Perhaps.'' Says the Lord. 
 
 `` Is door 2 hell?'' 
 
 `` Perhaps.'' Saith the Lord. 
 
 `` The third door allows me to become you?'' 
 
 `` No.'' Saith the Lord. 
 
 `` The third door does what then?'' I am infinitely curious. `` I want door number 3.'' 
 
 `` So be it.'' 
 
 I walk through the door and appear before the most beautiful being I have ever seen. It glows. I glow as well. 
 
 `` Welcome to Hell, your new home and base of operations. I have told everyone of the administration change.'' Says Lucy, walking past me. 
 
 `` I command hell?'' I ask. 
 
 `` No,'' Lucy says as she looks back `` You have chosen to be the most powerful being in the extra-dimensional multi-verse. This is your base of operations. What you do with that power is your choice.''

 Alternate ending 
 
 I walk through the door and appear somewhere else. A world full of oxygen and light and people. No, people? It ca n't be. The door closes behind me. The Lord walks up beside me. A tall beautiful woman stands and holds out her hand. I do n't know what to think of it. 
 
 `` Hi, I'm Lucy.'' 
 
 `` What is this?'' I ask. 
 
 `` Infinite freedom. You chose to leave the simulation.''
