I was referring to the scene in Hannah in which Frederick(Max Von Sydow) tells Lee(Barbara Harshey) that she's his only remaining connection to the world, and her response is that that's not fair; it's too much responsibility. The Watchmen film scene with Manhattan and Laurie is reminiscent of it.
I haven't read the Watchmen book lately, but I assume Gene Kendall's referring to the "superman exists and he's American" line. The film had an original scene with a Woody character refer to it, and I simply wondered if the real Woody had used a similar line sometime, with "God". No confusion there.
My point in my first paragraph (and last couple of posts) is the bit of dialogue I quoted with Manhattan and Laurie, and how I think the film scripter added it. As I tried to explain, I don't think Alan Moore needs to crib from Woody Allen.
