I don't know why, but I immediately thought about Morgan Freeman's God in both "Bruce Almighty" & "Evan Almighty". His God was far away from the brutal one of the Old Testament, so I decide to do a list of books and movies where God (the Catholic one, at least) is portrayed both as good or bad.
Some of this movies are more about Jesus than God, but hey! he's his son anyway (again, for the Catholics).
Enjoy!

BOOKS
The Childhood of Jesus by J. M. Coetzee
All of the movies listed above (beside 7 km to Jerusalem) are comedies and/or parodies about God, but they're all about beliving in something and someone we cannot fully understand.
Now, tell me...have you seen some of these movies or read the books? Do you have any other God's movie I forgot to mention?
