Did Billy Mumy's character represent God? Do you know the actor of which I speak? Maybe sci fi buffs do. He was Will Robinson in that silly sci fi from the sixties, Lost in Space. Before that, he had a freaky role on a Twilight Zone episode, "It's a Good Life." Maybe some of you know what I am talking about. "It's good that you did that Anthony - real good. Now wish it into the cornfield." The character was 6. That was probably about Billy's age. The character, Anthony, had powers to do what ever he wanted to a person. He turned one guy into a jack in the box. He could also read your every thought. He did not like bad thoughts. Imagine living with such a being. But some believe they do all the time. "It's good that you flooded the world God - real good." I wonder if the writer intended the comparison.

I think the comparison/analogy seems accurate. The only thing I know for certain was that episode freaked me out.

As a kid, I spent days wondering how far his powers extended. I kept wondering if he could be shot from a distance.

Ohferpetessake...about as "kind & loving" as any gawd I ever heard of, too! Capricious & nasty!
