He did take him out. They went to a movie, then Supes took him clubbing. It was later back at Hitler's place that the phrase "faster than a speeding bullet" was born.
Actually, Superman is far less moral even than "God". He's now ridiculously overpowered to the point of being godlike, yet only manages to deal with villains and disasters he actually bumps into. With his super-hearing, super-speed and flying powers, there's no reason he couldn't handle every single crisis on the planet, all the time. There should be no such thing as downtime for him. Yet he is known to waste time trying to nail Lois Lane while simultaneously hiding his secret identity (which she already knows) from her. To quote from a Cracked article on the subject: "Superman has all these ridiculous abilities like super balloon-making and super ventriloquism, but he also has super senses. He heard the terrified screams of every person who died. And given the world they lived in, some of them were specifically screaming, "Why is Superman letting me die!?" "
In my opinion the character was way more interesting when all he had going for him was speed, strength, bulletproof skin and the ability to leap tall buildings. All the add-ons just made him boring.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
