My wife suggested Alanis for the poll as well. I left a number of them off rather than just dis a few, since a comprehensive listing would break the polling feature. I’m gonna go with Vin Scully. All knowing, all seeing, recognizes good even when it works against what He is doing… ---

I can’t believe no one’s said this yet, but definitely Morgan Freeman. ---

Yup, another one shocked to see that neither James Earl Jones nor Morgan Freeman was a choice. ---

He’d probably talk in hushed tones like Brando’s Godfather, you know, so everyone would have to pay attention to what he was saying, like? ---

I really like the idea of Vin Scully as God. “…so it looks like St. Peter’s out of ink, and he’s gonna hafta run in and grab a new pen for the Great Book. And while we have a minute, friends, I’m reminded – do you recall the floods back in 2,000 B.C.? I will never forget – it was a Saturday afternoon, I believe, and the shadows of the clouds began creeping across the plains like fingers…” If God speaks to me in that voice, I will listen. ---

I was going to say James Earl Jones, too (canNOT believe he was not on the list), but wasn’t thinking of Darth. Thank you for the best laugh I’ve had today. ---

Morgan Freeman, or if he’s not available, James Earl Jones. I like my order better. 😃 ---

Alan Rickman, presumably doing Snape? Yeah, based on how things go in this world I think that’s wholly appropriate: > [@](#): > > “You’re all a bunch of sentimental children forever whining about how bitterly unfair your lives have been. Well, it may have escaped your notice, but life isn’t fair!” Alternatively, God talks to me in my own voice. The doctor says that it isn’t God, but he can’t hear the voice so how would he know? ---

I was thinking more along the lines of [Dogma](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120655/quotes): \ ***Metatron:** Human beings have neither the aural nor the psychological capacity to withstand the awesome power of God’s true voice. Were you to hear it, your mind would cave in and your heart would explode within your chest. We went through five Adams before we figured that one out. \* ---
