You might be interested in a little film called Manhunter (based on
Thomas Harris' Red Dragon). Lecter has a bit like this: 'God's a
Great Guy. Just the other day He dropped a church roof on two hundred
of His followers while they were groveling in a hymn to His glory...'
Also of interest--note the timing of the last(?) batch of massive
earthquakes along the border--not far from where the Indians and the
Pakistanis had detonated nukes a short time before. Coincidence? I
think not...
