Black Comedy

Comparison: A Fish Named Wanda meets Life of Brian

Blurb/Logline  When the new leader of the Levites balks at leading his people into war against Egypt in order to force Pharaoh to allow the Israelites to abandon the desert for the promised land, his tribal council talks him into it.  As preparations unfold, Gareon grows increasingly confident of victory and of his place in Hebrew history.  When God steps in and strikes a deal with Gareon to talk his people out of war in order that Moses be given a crack at the task, the writing is on the wall.  Unfortunately, Gareon is a slow reader.  Almost by accident, he ends up double-crossing God ... and lives to tell about it!
