The complaint that God is portrayed as a beer-drinking hippie bargaining with the devil is to be 
understood within context. Although this image of God does not concur with that which most Christians have of God, it should be seen as an interpretation of God in a modern idiom. The fact that Bob has to save the world should not be seen as the negation of the role of Jesus Christ as Saviour, but rather as a parallel to the story of Noah. Bob must save the world but cannot redeem the world. The complaint is dismissed.
