Is there some sort of paradox (or something) happening in the cartoon?
To me there were two immediate implications in the cartoon:
​
1. All religions, right ot wrong, get you to the same place.
​
2. Nobody thinks their religion is wrong, even if it is.

But what is "the joke" that the angel is referring to?
Is it that people will stand in line and wait to get into heaven just to be a part of the right religion when they could've just walked right in instead?
Something like that, I guess. I also find it funny that nobody seems to notice that the other people in line are from different religions.

(Faith doesn't seem surprised that she's standing behind you.)
