Synopsis
God observes that humans are a complete failure. He decides to wipe them off the face of the Earth and replace them with a new creature: a perfect one.
Unfortunately, the humans hear about God’s plan and decide to pay him a visit. The religious leaders come to beg God for mercy, the heads of state and the UN go so far as to threaten him with a war if he doesn’t change his mind.
It is then that an atheist comes along and confuses this volatile situation even more…
