Death Note

"If there was a human behind the scenes who could bestow and transfer that power...and they didn't want their methods to be discovered...its a little suspicious that they hadn't transfered till right at the very last moment...And if we accept the existence of something that couldlook down on us from heaven, there would be no way to catch it. I would either have died a long time ago, or I'd be spending eternity being toyed with in the palm of their hand. There's no way that something like exists.."
