In 1989, William Shatner® developed the initial storyline for and directed the rather forgettable Star Trek V: The Final Frontier®.
In this film, Spock's® half-brother, Sybok®, seizes control of the Enterprise®, so he can reach a mythical planet named Sha Ka Ree®, where a mysterious, presumably God-like entity awaits.
Claiming to be God, the entity asks Sybok and the Enterprise crew how they got to the planet. When told about the Enterprise, it demands passage aboard the ship in order to leave the planet to spread his Word to the rest of the Universe.
The movie would be completely forgettable were it not for Captain Kirk's® asking the entity, "Why does God need a starhip?"
Whenever any person or organization claims to speak for God, ask a similar question. "Why does God need you to speak for Him [or Her]?"
