So says McSweeney’s:

Generally, I now think I can do
more for the planet as just a guy who used to be God instead of the guy
who currently is God, you know what I mean by this? Life is too short
to compromise time and resources…it may be tempting and more
comfortable to keep your God-head down, plod along, and appease those
who demand, “Sit down and shut up,” but that’s the worthless, easy path
? that’s a quitter’s way out. You can’t sit down and shut up when
you’re God, which is why when I’m not God anymore, I can stand up and
do other stuff, like not doing stuff, which is also important, yes?

You betcha.
