on the radio that they are going to make a movie about a man who is always complaining about the way God runs the world, so God lets the man run it for a day!!!

No, the Michael Newdnow story would be the one where constitutional principles, not mob rule, decided US policy.
In any case, I thought most of you believed man was already in control of the world. Isn't that the explanation for sin and suffering?

Wouldn't it be ironic if the main character actually made the world a better place, then was forced to relinquish control back to God knowing the avoidable horrors were all coming back? Dude, THAT is a MOVIE. "King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime".

There is a story about this atheist that was sitting on a park bench when a priest walked up and asked if he could rest there awhile.
The atheist said 'Sure, it's a free country.' (He was blinded both spiritually and politically.) Looking at the priest out of the corner of his eye, the atheist finally turned to him and said, "You're one of those who believe that the world was created by a God aren't you?"
The priest replied to the affirmative. "Don't you believe this is all too complex a world to have happened by chance?" he asked.
The atheist replied, "No I don't, and the reason I don't believe in a god is because of the condition this world is in. If your God is so powerful and intelligent, why are there so many bad things in the world? Why doesn't things in nature make sense? If I were God, I have done a lot of things differently."
The priest responded, "Tell me what you mean."
The atheist said, "Well, look at the hippopotamus. It is so huge, and it has short legs and has to eat all of the time to sustain it's life. It never travels far because it's just so large and it eats every plant in sight. Then look at the hummingbird. It's so tiny and eats hardly anything at all. But it has wings and it can fly wherever it wants to and eat when it wants. If I were God, I'd have given the wings to the hippopotamus so it could travel further to find it's food, and let the hummingbird be confined to a small area because it doesn't need as much. Your God just does things backwards."
About that time, a flock of pigeons took off over the pair and droppings fell onto the atheists head.
"My son", said the priest, "Aren't you now glad you aren't God and that wasn't a hippopotamus?"

LOL! Boy, can you even imagine what a filthy, horrible, evil, disgusting, sinful, tragic, big mess this world would be in without Jah? Ugh, I shudder to think about it, a world without God. Well, then again, thats an oxymoron. For without God, there wouldnt be anything, cuz he made it all. Without Jah Nothin'.
