    “ When the powers that be, whomever they are, decide your time is up, it's up. You either accept it or kick up a fight. But what if it's the biggest job ever?
    Joe presents us this scenario as New comes in to replace old, you can't help feel sorry for God, he (or her) has been in the position for billions of years, it's hard to let go. I do hope they get to enjoy their retirement on Eros. ”
