God: Difference between revisions

Possibly due to the influence of works like [[Bruce Almighty]], God has been showing up increasingly often in media recently. Subversions and parodies are also increasingly common (see [[King of All Cosmos]]), but limited to [[Black Comedy]] - once you've turned God into a joke, it's hard to do anything else.

[[The Maker]] is often a stand-in for God, if it isn't outright Him.

* [[Angel Sanctuary]] of course. Features [[God Is Evil]] in a really, really nasty way. God not only forced an Original Sin down on his angels ( {{spoiler|when growing in their tubes they live from their own Mother, Adam Kadamon; during her captivity in Eden Alexiel also is made to Eat fruits from the Tree of Enlightenment. Which grows from Adam Kadamon's eye.}} Yuck. That the fruits look like baby heads doesn't make it any better. ) - nope, he also considers all of his angels failed experiments and wants to end the world. {{spoiler|Oh, and he's a computer program.}} Neat one, Kaori Yuki - neat one.

* [[Shaman King]]'s Great Spirit is "God" and is every spirit manifested into a giant pillar of light.

* Deus ex Machina from ''[[Mirai Nikki]]''. The story happens because Deus {{spoiler|is dying and needs to choose a successor to become the new god.}} Interestingly, there appear to be a couple of limits on his powers: {{spoiler|it has been conclusively stated that he cannot resurrect the dead, as apparently he is unable to bring back the souls of the deceased. That, and he's dying himself.}}

* God and Jesus make frequent appearances in ''[[Overcompensating]]''. God is depicted in the typical old man with long hair and a long beard wearing a robe. However the robe is clearly a bathrobe and he dwells in a trailer park for some reason.

* God talks to Jesus off panel in a ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' comic. Jesus makes frequent appearances.

** Like almost everybody else in the strip, God is portrayed as a [[Jerkass]] who especially hates Davan and Mike and ignores prayers to Him in lieu of watching shit happen to them.

** He also made up the whole "Homosexuality angers God" business so that [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|He could watch lesbian couples having sex with each other]] to spite Him. It's not made clear if the spite is needed in order to invoke His name so that He is allowed to watch, if invoking His name merely alerts him to the location the act is taking place, or if the spite is just part of His [[All Men Are Perverts|kink]].
