that's a bit selfish of humankind, isn't it? well, couldn't he find another way, like writing to somebody to tell them to be a bit better? otherwise, something bad's gonna happen, or like-- or like-- oh, goodness. oh, look, i really must be-- when jesus was being crucified... actually, uh, i just realized there's a few people i must go and speak to. ...ask god to send a meteorite and destroy all the troops of the romans who were... well, it was the way god choose to sacrifice his only son. he wanted to show us how important it was, so he chose the most precious thing in the world to him, and the most precious thing in the world to him was jesus. but then why did he kill him? so, have you got kids? no. no, my lifestyle's never really left any room for it, you know? i love my globe trotting too much. right. no, i-i couldn't do what sue does. jesus says we should forgive everybody. yes, that's right. sorry, you are...? this is mary, my assistant bridesmaid. okay. well, i'll be off. so, what would jesus do if someone stole his mobil
