This is a great example of how the secular world would like to picture God, even with concessions to Believers such as, "Yes, God is still alive." Unfortunately, in the name of humor - and it IS funny - they make the fatal mistake most Biblically- ignorant people make: they put God on the same level as human beings. So, here we see God portrayed humorously by George Burns but really not a whole lot more than any good human being, anything but holy and perfect God. For just one example, in the film, "God" admits he makes mistakes. If that were true, he wouldn't be God. Puh-leeze.
There are tons of secular feel-good stuff in here and that satisfied the masses, which embraced this film enough to have a horrible sequel or two. Even the title of the movie is blasphemous, using the Lord's name as an exclamation and nothing else.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed watching this. IIt's a nice movie with some good laughs and some memorable scenes....but not the Truth, folks. Mr. Denver and Mr. Burns could both tell you that now. By the way, kudos for Denver's performance. For a guy who was strictly a singer, his acting was excellent in here....and it was always fun to watch and hear Burns.
