I don't know ... I don't see WW as a God-like figure. Johnny Depp plays him as a terribly disturbed and quircky guy, and I love that portrayal, but it's *not* what I want to think of when I think of God! I think if there is a religious message, it's a message or redemption, for WW is "redeemed" to human love through his contact with Charlie and his family. :?
