Do You Think God Lives in Heaven

Do you think God lives in heaven refers to the first half of a memorable quote from the movie Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams.

The full quote goes “Do you think God lives in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he’s created?”.

Online, the line is used as a catchphrase and a copypasta, used to express disdain and repulsion toward others, similar to the Everyday We Stray Further From God’s Light.
