Heh. That spidly guy, in order to prove that he wasn’t wishing for anyone’s death by saying their names should be removed from the Book of Life, just linked to a site that says this:

The language of our prayers imagines God as judge and king, sitting in the divine court on the divine throne of justice, reviewing our deeds. On a table before God lies a large book with many pages, as many pages as there are people in the world. Each of us has a page dedicated just to us. Written on that page, by our own hand, in our own writing, are all the things we have done during the past year. God considers those things, weighs the good against the bad, and then, as the prayers declare, decides “who shall live and who shall die.”

Not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.
