I don’t see why it’s supposed to be unnerving. As a kid, didn’t you tell your parents “Hey! Lookit me!” and they would say, “Yeah, sure. I’m watching.” But they were actually doing something else. Now, the God who created everything and has “Maximally Great Being” on his résumé really is watching you—not to get the goods on you (he got that long ago because we insisted on it), but because he loves you. There’s nothing scary about that.
