Also, in these games, the folks going for βmore wishesβ are shooting low. The only wish you need, which also defeats the monkeyβs paw, is βgrant me omnipotence.β

I donβt think Iβd even trust his answer about whether thereβs a cost, so Iβd pass on the winning lotto numbers, too.
Iβd say, βno thanksβ and immediately convert to Catholicism, start going to church, and lead a clean life from here on out. If the orthodox Jews are right, Iβm fucked anyway since my mother isnβt a Jew, so Christianity is the best bet.

Itβs something I would look into, if faced with confirmation of a judao-christian afterlife, especially if I could concurrently cover multiple bases. Iβd look at Islam, as well; could be theyβre not mutually exclusive. I dread to think of how limited my diet would becomeβ¦ but faced with an ensured eternity in hell Β―\(γ)/Β―
