God: Ah, how can I permit the suffering?
Jerry Landers: Yes!
God: I don't permit the suffering. You do. Free will. All the choices are yours.
Jerry Landers: Choices? What choices?
God: You can love each other, cherish and nurture each other or you can kill each other. Incidentally, "kill" is the word. It's not "waste." If I had wanted "waste" I would have written "thou shalt not waste." You're doing some very funny things with words...

Did You Know?
Goofs
Factual errors: Near the end of the film when God appears in court as Jerry Landers' (only) witness, prosecution's lawyer (Ralph Bellamy) stands up and asks to "question the witness." As God is Jerry Landers' witness, Jerry would be the first to question. The prosecution's lawyer would then have the opportunity to cross examine him. A lawyer would know this. See more »Quotes
