Remember that mid-1990s radio smash hit “One of Us”? In her thought-provoking song, Joan Osborne speculated about a world in which God walked among men.
God may not walk among us, but Colin Quinn does. And he wants everyone to know that if he were God, he’d be extremely irritable.
You mention God around here and people get crazy. Almost like a fundamentalist or zealous or fanatical viewpoint. #uarewhatuhatemost

All God haters just be lucky I'm not God. Or I would reign fire down upon them, and damnation as well as brimstone, which is sulfuric acid!!

Since none of that has actually happened to anyone recently, we can safely assume Colin Quinn is a mere mortal. However, many couldn’t help but wonder about this hypothetical situation, and about how Quinn would handle such an important job.

@iamcolinquinn Are Colin Quinn haters also considered "God-Haters?" #CategoricalQuestion

Unsurprisingly, some folks weren’t on board with Quinn’s theoretical discussion, and some even opted out altogether:
@iamcolinquinn That's not What God is about he love's all and dont approve of killing or harming the human spirit.

Could this all be just another one of Colin’s ploys? That’d be a shocker.
