The actual context of the post was related to a discussion on whether or not God tests us in a previous thread. My stated belief was that God doesn't test us. That he doesn't send us trials for our own good, or to see how we handle them. That trials just happen, and God is as sorry as we are at our misfortune, and weeps with us.
So while this was just a small joke, the context was against my belief that God does exist, and that he does not test us.
So God is not less reliable than Dr. Bob. He simply has (in my belief system) a different role.
To those whose belief system includes a God whose role is like Dr. Bob's, I meant no disrespect.
