Clever animation that aptly delivers the linkages of human freedom with worldly evil and of God’s paired characteristic of justice and love in response.
While I think the animation is perfect, theologically we could discuss a few of the film’s claims. Ryft knows what I’m talking about ;)

John Blanchard, Where was God on September 11?
At what level should God intervene? We might say that he should not have allowed the worst offenders – the Hitlers, Pol Pots and Mao Tse-tungs of this world – to do what they did. But what about the next level – say, thugs, sadists, rapists, child abusers and drug pushers – should God step in and stop them? If he did, another ‘layer’ of offenders would become the worst – say drunk drivers, shoplifters, burglars and the like. If we argued like this we would soon get to the point at which we would be demanding that God should intervene to prevent all evil. Would we settle for that, even if it meant having your own thoughts, words and actions controlled by a cosmic puppet-master, robbing you of all freedom and responsibility?
