What's also interesting is how god is beholden to the same laws as his other fictional counterparts. The sin virus is so strong that even the magical wizard that created the universe can only cleanse it by sending you on a train to hell.
And there's not even character consistency. Creation ex nihilo is no problem, but there's only one specific way he can cleanse sin.
