Fuck you OP. Really.

So I went and read it.
Eh. Kind of juvenile, but it's a nice story, and well-written too. "All religions are right in their own way," blehhhh what a weak point to make. Feel-good bullshit for people who don't want to think very hard.
I really don't know what to recommend you based on that, though. You might like this one:

Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.

Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he's dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.

Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.

Stevie Smith, "Not Waving But Drowning"
