"Super Best Friends." South Park #68, Season 5, #3, 4 July 2001. Comedy Partners. Trey Parker, dir., co-exec. prod. with Matt Stone (and Anne Garefino).

To help the boys resist an evil David Blaine cult, Jesus takes Stan to the high-tech HQ of The Super Best Friends (with allusions to Scientology, the comics and animation series Justice League, and various James Bondian headquarters). The Super Best Friends initially introduced are Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Krishna, Lao Tzu, Joseph Smith, and Sea Man; Moses appears later—as the Master Control Program from TRON (1982) i.e., the cyberspace manifestation of a giant AI program.
