That's quite the little side show they have going on. I can only imagine the melodramatic preaching that accompanied this scene.

like have Sanitarium elected to the leadership positon of an area of a minor planet with 5% of the population of that planet.

When God's not busy with other stuff like supernovas, you know, the rest of the universe. that's a lot of power right there in that room.

Now I, personally, don't believe in any kind of god or gods, so the whole thing is just pointless mumbo-jumbo to me. But in effect, those who DO believe in God, when they pray for a specific outcome, are in effect telling God that his "divine plan" sucks, and they think that since they know better than God, that God should do their bidding and scrap His own plans.
