* NatureVsNurture: Played with. When questioned about why Steve doesn't ''[[SameCharacterButDifferent act]]'' like Jesus, he explains that while he can somewhat [[PastLifeMemories remember]] his previous incarnation, they are ''not'' the same man. Instead they are merely ''different'' parts of the same divinity and both had their own lives until discovering the truth, so it's only natural they ended up being two vastly different people.

The bit you didn\'t get is the specific bit you (if it was you) prefaced with the words \"We get it\". Which you haven\'t included in this version of the example wording, so I have no argument with it now.

What do you mean I *didn\'t* get it? The ending ended with the nullification of all spiritual entities and the afterlife? How is that NOT a Downer Ending, even if it averted an Apocalypse?
