* [[In Spite of a Nail]]: Somehow, a world without deceit, lies, and in this case, religion, still wound up exactly the same in every other respect.
* [[Like Reality Unless Noted]]: The key difference in this world being the complete absence of lying.
* [[Look Behind You!]]: Used so Mark can {{spoiler|cheat at roulette}}: "Look at that unusual thing! I've never... oh, it's gone now."
* [[Messianic Archetype]]: The film has been called "[[Bruce Almighty]] for atheists." The Mark-Is-Jesus symbology ''could not'' be more explicit - walking around "healing" people, bringing religion to the world, even {{spoiler|his hair and beard}} in the penultimate scene - without Mark actually getting crucified at the end. {{spoiler|He doesn't. The symbol of the religion Mark founds is a crucifix-like portrayal of Mark-as-''Moses'', with his arms outstretched holding the pizza boxes that his commandments were written on.}}
* [[Narrating the Present]]: In the manuscript Mark "finds" it mentions him finding it. Since it's in the manuscript it must be true, right?
