"I think you're doing OK on that front so far. Most of the godlike Star Trek aliens were much harder to reason with."

"Oh I wasn't even thinking of him! Like, in TOS the Metrons were all - uh, you know what, we shouldn't have this discussion right now, you have babies to save and planets to terraform and housing to develop."

"It's good to take a breather every now and then, but good point, I should probably be going."

"There are a bunch of different gods even though there's only one god of Earth! --I guess I don't know if we become gods if we're sufficiently Mormon."
