Bonus Episode: Does Jesus fudge the dice?

"There can be miracles... when you believe."  -The Prince of Egypt

Just like any good Dungeon Master, sometimes God intervenes in the ordinary course of human affairs to fudge things just a little... curing disease, separating the Red Sea, and getting turnt New Testament style! But if God can intervene, how do they decide when to fudge the dice and when to let it play out? How do they decide who dies? Who lives?
