Or at least I tried watching it. As the title says it's an interview with god done by a serious reporter who interviews a guy who simply claims that he is god. Why would he trust this guy to even talk to him or how will his editors or readers take this seriously is a mystery.
Although the makers had the best intentions, the god really comes off as nothing more than a silly mythical creature on par with Santa. We learn right away that he is the god of the Bible and Torah, thus erasing Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. But how can he even be the god of both the Bible and Torah is also nonsensical since they exclude each other.
Of course, the reporter never asks him the hard questions, like "Who are other gods and why do billions think that they are gods?", "Why do you order people to rape and kill in the Bible?", but it's rather centered around atheism and Judeo-Christian religion. And you know how atheists are just selfish people angry at god and how they want to go back to him, the Judeo-Christian god, but not hindu gods.
The theme of the movie seems to be "Why do bad things happen to good people?" to which the god dances around, tells metaphorical stories, talks about free will, and says "Hey, imagine how the world looks like from my perspective." basically just imagine your own answer.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
