Conditional or Unconditional

(Genre: Short Dialogue Practice (Please do not take this personally, thanks))

Person #1: Do you have a spiritual practice?
Person #2: I’m trying to get back into meditating.
Person #1: I have to wake up for church tomorrow.
Person #2: I hope God is unconditionally loving.
Person #1: Why the hell would you say that!? Of course he is!! If he didn’t love us then why would he have created us!?
Person #2: Well if I go to hell for not being of a certain organized religious affiliation then that sounds conditional.
Person #1: You won’t go to hell.
Person #2: Thanks.
Person #1: So what are you?
Person #2: I’ve been reading books on meditation. I would say that regardless if there’s a creative higher power or not we’re all deeply spiritually inseparable.
Person #1: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Person #2: So what I’m trying to say is—
Person #1: Well let me ask you this, does it work for you?
Person #2: Yes.
Person #1: Okay, then keep at it.
Person #2: Right.
