With Big Bang Theory
on hiatus for the summer, Jim Parsons returns to New York City to star in the
one-man show, An Act of God, for a
limited run on Broadway.

The new play -- based on the Twitter account, @TheTweetofGod -- sees Parsons, as God
appearing in human form as the actor Jim Parsons, recounting the Lord’s journey
and introducing 10 new commandments.

Written by David Javerbaum, the Emmy-winning comedy writer
behind the Twitter account and current producer of The Late Late Show with James Corden, the show offers up plenty of
laughs as Parsons delivers a sermon mixed with faith, politics, jokes,
groaners, and plenty of pop culture references.

And what’s a good sermon without a few knocks at Hollywood
and entertainment culture?! Among those who get a taste of God’s sarcastic
interpretation of today’s state of affairs are the Kardashians and Kanye West.

We highlighted the best references -- most of which can be
found on God’s Twitter account -- below:

1. The Kardashians,
et al

“How about Bruce
Jenner by the way? The first Kardashian woman I can actually tolerate.”

Yes, even God has an opinion on the first family of reality
TV, which includes the likes of Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner. But
the one He can tolerate? That would be Bruce.

2. Kanye West

“Kanye, next time you
win a GRAMMY and you thank me for your “God-given talents”, they’re gonna get
God-taken, understand?”

There’s no question that Kanye West believes that his
talents were bestowed upon him by a higher power -- but Yeezus
better be careful. He’s treading on thin
ice

3. Matthew
McConaughey

“Matthew McConaughey,
you won an Oscar, you talked Me up big-time. I know you think you’re tight with
me ‘cause of all the times you thought you saw Me when you were high, but we’re
not.”

You all remember the rambling, somewhat coherent speech the
actor delivered during the Oscars, right? No? Here, let’s refresh. And
an explanation,
if you need it

4. Justin Bieber

“It’s certainly no
matter of yours whether… I saw Justin Bieber hit puberty, then puberty hit back
and beat the crap out of him.”

Even Bieber will have to admit growing up in the public eye
has been hard at times

5. Sarah Palin

“You’ll just have to
somehow get through life without knowing that I once saw Sarah Palin… Oh,
nothing in particular. I 
just f--king hate Sarah Palin.

God is most definitely not a fan. 

And why interpret God’s words, when He -- err, Parsons -- can
deliver them himself? Watch his take on celebrities below:
