Thou who has never ran out of batteries.

God is like a remote controller because you can control people with him. You can make them shut up, change their mind (like you do with TV programs), you can get them to die (turn off the tv, if you will) or you can wake them up whenever you want. (5 am, morning prayer), etc.

Nothing controls a TV better than a remote controller and nothing controls people better then... a remote controller. God. And another thing that makes God resemble a remote controller is the fact that it can make all these changes occur in one's life without even being there, all just one push of a button away. That's why he's remote.
