Um, no. Saying that God made the DMV goes against all of the preachings of "free will", doesn't it?
If you make babies, and one of them pukes on the floor, did you puke on the floor, or just make it possible for that puke to get there?

If you really wanted to get into heaven you'd let everybody cut you in line no matter how old and smelly.

you get to be a ghost, and you cant fail heaven's judgement if you never make it to the front of the line, if there is one.

yeah but once you die that's it so if you died and were waiting in line it wouldn't matter what sins you'd commit...that would be the perfect time to rap hot chicks in the line and beat little kids in wheelchairs....

LOL some of you guys are taking this playful subject so literally:
But if we are going to then:
I don't know if you guys know, but I am a christian. And part of my story was that I was catholic from birth-16, then christian since probably 17.
In that I've come to learn that as powerful as God is there is a big level of "free will" which also results in conseqeunces. God DOES have the power to break his own "science" and cause miracles but that is up to Him.
As far as destiny or Him choosing your death time...I think it's more or less He "Knows" rather then "Orchestrates." Simply because, again, he can only lead the "horse" to water (in this case, Humans to Himself), but he can not make them "drink."
As for my take on the pope, perhaps his intentions are right, but I don't believe we should be praying to anyone else except God Himself (and the Trinity that He is)....plus there is a lot of self-glorification he allows....kinda sets me off. Everything's forgivable though
As for cutting in line (the less serious subject): Nah I wouldn't let him.
