Panel 1
Greg: OK, look. I know you say over and over again how evil you are, but you’ve GOTTA do something about… well, everything. I mean, all of it.
Tony: I have to do no such thing.
Panel 2
Greg: YOU ESTABLISHED YOURSELF AS A GOD, TONY. If you just keep letting things get worse, your followers are going to abandon you!
Tony: Okay, you seem to be operating under two very flawed preconceptions.
Panel 3
Tony: First, while I MAY be more or less omniscient because of my ability to look up any event going on at any time, that does NOT make me omnipotent. I can do a lot of things, but I can’t just “fix” anything I want. It takes time and effort, neither of which I particularly care to expend.
Panel 4
Tony: And second… what, in your learned experience, would indicate that not actually doing anything would cause my religious followers to abandon me?
Greg: Oh, OK. WOW. I’m, uh… just gonna back out of here slowly and pretend I was never part of this particular comic…
