what would you want to hear from him while standing at the gate to heaven?
I just thought of this and the first thing that came to mind was "your doubt was granted" this made me laugh.

I've changed my mind.

"Who do you want to live as next?"

The ability to be cruel, hate, and do evil are intrinsic abilities to beings created with the attribute of free will.

In addition to this world being one of duality: good/bad, wet/dry, light/dark, etc. Can't have one aspect without the other.

I don't expect you to defend this silly belief, but at least pick better examples. Light/dark and wet/dry aren't dualities. Hell, nothing scientific is a duality - you'll have to stick to intangibles if you want to be credible.
