Superman sez: 'Don't rely on some savior to bail you out. Rely on yourself,'

1. What is this? The Adventures of Supergalt?

Superman advocates self-reliance over reliance on rescues and bailouts?

Mind you, I wouldn't mind him saying that to a bank exec, but to a person?

It's like he's trying to put himself out of business.

2. Mind you, the question was "do you believe in god."

But you could be right. Maybe he's an Objectivist...

3. I wonder what the window-washer is thinking after the metal scaffolding welded itself.

He probably believes in God now.

4. The context of that story...

The guy he's talking to is someone who was saved on 2 or 3 separate occasions by Superman. Up until that time, he was a shut-in with little self esteem. But after getting saved, he took on a dangerous lifestyle because he figured that Superman would always have his back. But it turns out that, except for that last save, that he was never actually the focus of Superman's attention. That he didn't die was incidental to what was going on.
