By that he meant, they were out of control, and needed somebody to fear, to keep 'em straight.

Is God just another non-existant Superhero?

God exists, but perhaps God is misunderstood. My two cents, anyways.

That Lewis Black show was on HBO first I think. If you have On Demand. Or catch it on CC after 1 on Saturday when they don't beep anything.

Given that you have been recently proven to be a liar, your assurances carry little weight.

I do not claim to know that God exists. But if so, you are undoubtedly correct that God is misunderstood. Understanding something as completely wondrous as a God must be is wholly outside the capacity the tiny minds of mortal men.
