The ability of the scriptwriter to come up with the words that can drop your jaw a bit, amazes me...
-
The portrayal of God as a public servant is a stroke of genius that's unrivaled in any other media
-
I love how gods always doing what a lot of people consider menial jobs. He's a Janitor, a Waiter... the jobs people don't get paid much for, that don't seem all that important. But without Janitors, hospitals couldn't exist. Every room you've ever entered outside of private property would be disgusting. There's value in service, and it's awesome that's how they portray God XD

I'm a recovering alcoholic. This truly hits home. I prayed to God everyday to quit drinking. Once he gave me that opportunity I took it. It's been 2 years

“I got a lot of people to serve.” :)

00:19 I'm considered a bit of a story teller myself - says the best narrator voice in the world.
-
This is a very powerful scene, a great message, and she even gets a bonus: fried fish and french fries from God himself.
-
Love how God acknowledges and respects free will. He wont force you, because he loves you, but he will give you the chance to obtain what you desire.
-
They couldn't have found a better actor to play God than Morgan Freeman. He is one of my most favorite actors of all time.
-
As another wise man once said: "We can't expect God to do all the work."
-
God does not give us directly what we want in life but gives us the means to achieve it by ourselves.
-
Point of Bruce and Evan Almighty, be the miracle through an act of random kindness. At least that is what I like to believe.
-
There should be more movies like this.
-
God gives us opportunities. It's up to us to take them or not.
-
I'm a strong believer in Christ and this scene really hits home
-
If God had a conversation with us...he would not condemn us...he would comfort and reassure us...especially with how much he loves us.

Now, I'm atheist… but… this scenes man, too good

I used to pray to God and asked Him to help me pass my exams. I always failed those. Since that wasn't working, I prayed to God that He grant me the ability to pass my test, and I passed every single one of them. God wants to help, but He doesn't want to do the work for you; He wants US to do the work, and He is happy when you ask for the opportunity to do the work. Always, look for the opportunities to help each other, and we will have a much happier life here on God's green Earth.
