So you already assume the the line maker breaks the rules? I still fail to see how handing out money in a line to anyone who wants to stand in the line being an asshole. You're going to have to elaborate for me please.

The bible attributes all evil and good to god.
Deuteronomy 32:39
39.See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
Let's not forget the so called plagues that fell upon Egypt came from god and so did the destruction of Sodom and Gamorrah and the destruction of all living things in Genesis 6 the list goes on and on. The story of Job illustrates clearly that nothing happens without the lords consent whether it be for good or for evil.
Job 2:6
6.And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
God wanted to prove to Satan the fidelity of Job so he permitted Satan to bring all sorts of calamity to Jobs life on the condition that he does not kill Job. In our church we were taught never to question gods will that he knew what he was doing and we as his servants just had to trust his judgements.
I'm sorry you were raised never to question. I was raised religiously to always question. Submitting your will or life to something is really just a question of sacrifice. Would you stand in line for 20 minutes for $20? Would you Chop off you leg for 5 million? What would you expect to do for eternal life and never-ending love? You submit to the will of your bladder to go pee several times a day. You submit your will to your friend offering you beer to help move a couch. The level of sacrifice (like the level of evidence) is relative. If a burning bush showed up and told me God wanted me to cut off my right arm, I'd probably try and find a way to do it because that's an easy sacrifice for 100% proof of God's promise. As it is, there is no burning bush just some words on a page and the "voices in my head" so submitting my will to that isn't any more of a sacrifice than pouring a drink for my wife really. You don't have to stand in line for the $20 just don't come crying after. I'll get off my soap box now.
You force people to stand in line for a measly $20 when they can stay at home and you can electronically transfer millions to them. asshole. That's what I'm talking about. Why does God play charades with life?
