Max Barry and God... similarities, differences?

Max Barry is essentially the god figure here in NS. Think on it.. he created NS, he likely checks in every once in awhile, but he never lets his presence be known. Who's that sound like? Why none other then the G O D himself...

So, is Max Barry really God in disguise? I'm I spamming? Do you think this whole premise is silly? Do you hate my running questions? Should this be moved? Am I making any sense?

Answers to all that and more provided by you all!

Max is only but a shepard. He tends to his sheep, and sometimes lets his sheepdogs eat one of them.

Poll added to make this thread even more stupid!

And actually, I think that the Mods would be more like the Catholic Saints. They have divinely inspired power but it is granted to them by Max.

Let's see... Max Barry exists. God does not. Is that a big enough difference? (Personally I think it is)

But what if Max Barry is god... and god does not exist... then Max Barry does not exist... and neither does this forum (!!!)

But since god does not exist, Max Barry cannot be god. Debate over.

i am both god and max barry. i am also the holy spirit (http://www.alandia.de/absinthe-alcohol.jpg).

the unholy trinity of NSG :p

i'm not actually max barry,i'm fairly sure it's against the rules to impersonate him. i hope white text suffices as a disclaimer.
edit: well, there's a mod posting above me, guess i'll find out soon :S

Not only do I see the very adult innuendo in this photo, I also grasp the very large idea that Max is trying to tell us he might be compensating. It's a hard issue, but I'm sure Mrs. Barry is fine with it.
