Sorry I'm still on The Implications of severance and religion. Because Innie Burt has a different faith from Outie Burt. The only God Burt G has ever known is Kier, the only doctrine is the handbook- which he broke. By the circumstances of the world he lived in he is a capital 's' Sinner. He cannot beg forgiveness - from Kier or anyone else. He cannot atone. He was punished with non-existence for holding a man's hand and he is gone now. Is he judged by the doctrine of God or the doctrine of Kier? In either case, does he actually make the cut? Is his soul only released once his body dies or is he already in whatever afterlife Outie Burt hopes is waiting for him?

i have a Lot of issues with fields's "my husband is obviously a Sinner, unlike me, who is definitely getting into heaven, so clearly the best thing to do is have his consciousness split in two so that the version of him that i actually married will go to hell but his innie will be Good™ and then i can keep that version as my pet for eternity" plan
