"And then I heard Father come up the stairs and walk into the room.
He said, “Christopher, what the hell are you doing?” And I could tell that he was in the room, but his voice sounded tiny and far away, like people’s voices sometimes do when I am groaning and I don’t want them to be near me. And he said, “What the fuck are you...? That’s my cupboard, Christopher. Those are... Oh shit... Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.” Then he said nothing for a while."

Slide 11 - Quizvraag
Christopher's teacher Mrs. Forbes tells him that his mother went to heaven after she died, but he doesn't think heaven exists.
He once asked a priest where heaven is and was told, "It's not in our universe. It's another kind of place altogether" (61.3).
Since it's impossible for anything to be outside of the universe, Christopher concludes that heaven cannot exist, and that "people believe in heaven because they don't like the idea of dying" (61.6).
