The revealing crowd scene at the football stadium was originally to be filmed at Manchester United's football ground, Old Trafford. But permission was refused. So it was filmed at Manchester City's ground at the time, Maine Road.
(sat in the pub with his new 'disciples', Steve talks about what he will do)
Steve: You've had one big miracle but that's it.
(the pub explodes around them in a fiery blaze, but they are not consumed)
Steve: Well, maybe 2.
(Stephen asks for the Third Testament from the crowd, and tells them why they need to do it).
Stephen: Heaven is empty, and Hell is bursting at the seams.
(When asked what will he do as Son of God, he replies he doesn't know).
Stephen: Can't be human and omniscient at the same time.
Stephen Baxter: I know what you're like. I've been you. Knowing there is great evil and doing nothing about it. Keeping my head down, giving a quid to charity, signing a petition, joking about it down the pub, but doing nothing. Even now I want to do nothing, I want to go home, shut the door and pretend that nothing is happening. But I can't - because I was born the son of God. The son of God came to you before and gave you a testament, but you did nothing. This time, there'll be a third testament. A guide to living your lives today, and it will be written by you. In one week, I will be given the third testament, then we'll start again, every country, every religion. And, don't argue. All you Christians out there, don't say "We were right." Because I've seen what you've done. You stupid, stupid people. You've finally did it, I've seen it. Heaven is empty, while hell is bursting to the seams.
Stephen Baxter: God is real, fact. Heaven is real, fact. Hell is real, and it's burning. Fact.
