Quote #7
KIRK: I said, what does God need with a starship?
MCCOY: Jim, what are you doing?
KIRK: I'm asking a question.
GOD: Who is this creature?
KIRK: Who am I? Don't you know? Aren't you God?
Despite his colleagues' immediate belief in this supposed deity, good, old Captain Kirk has a few questions that need answers. Like, isn't God supposed to be omnipotent? All powerful? Endless and eternal, and all that junk? This guy doesn't seem to have any of these qualities.
Quote #8
[Kirk and Spock lie wounded after being struck by energy shot at them by God.]
GOD: Do you doubt me?
MCCOY: I doubt any god who inflicts pain for his own pleasure.
And here we were thinking that this fellow was a loving god—turns out he's all fire and brimstone. Either way, this is a bad look. Not only does his refusal to answer Kirk's questions make him seem suspicious, but his violent response makes him seem downright unpleasant.
Quote #9
SYBOK: Stop. The God of Sha Ka Ree would not do this.
GOD: Sha Ka Ree? A vision you created. An eternity I've been imprisoned in this place. The ship. I must have the ship. Now give me what I want.
And it all comes out: it's a lie. In actuality, God shot out a telepathic space beam to con some poor mark into performing an unknowing prison break for him. That mark, of course, was Sybok. Holy smokes. Literally. It's a pretty lame move, but we have to admire the dude for thinking up such a deliciously diabolical plan.
