Directed by Steven Karageanes
Andy has more faith in his iPod than God. He wears Katarina Witt t-shirts, computer dates, and drives away his girlfriend, Susan, by comparing religions to breakfast cereals. Andy steps in front of traffic while watching a podcast, gets hit, and ends up in limbo with Mr. Ying and Ms. Yang, two 'consiglieres' to the Almighty. They tell Andy he must choose a religion from five minute meetings with representatives from Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity or he gets a 'dirt nap'. He reluctantly agrees. Meeting the Buddhist monk goes wrong, as Andy provokes the Monk to violence. Ying and Yang appear to warn Andy to take things seriously. Andy then meets with the Islamic cleric. Andy is less abrasive but questions why Muslims would want virgins in the afterlife. After the Cleric tells off a telemarketer, he teaches Andy his first lesson. Andy again meets Ying and Yang, who mock Andy for questioning the Cleric about virgins while tango-dancing. Andy goes to Christianity at a desolate city street, where he meets a bitter street thug who turns his perceptions upside-down. Mr. Ying shows up demanding him to choose a religion. Andy cannot because he realizes that they all have similar core values. Mr. Ying lets him go back to Michigan, and Ms. Yang finally warms up to him and kisses him. Andy ends up in a hospital bed, where Susan visits him with a peace offering, the book 'Religion for Dummies'. They embrace.
