God is a recurring character in SMBC, usually depicted as a golden disk with darkened triangles lining the edge. God's speech bubbles are usually—but not always—gold with a thick purple boundary. For other comics with special speech bubbles, see Category:Comics with special speech bubbles.
God first appears in 2005-12-30, which is also the first comic about theodicy or the problem of evil.
God is often depicted as incompetent, malicious, or angry. God's powers, origin, and outlook on humanity and the universe change from comic to comic. In one, He is a being cursed so that any of His stray violent thoughts becomes reality. In another, He is an order-obssesed god who is being punished for His sins by being forced to watch over our nonsensical universe. In several, reality is a simulation or a game and He is its creator or user. Or the universe is a tool for something weird and specific, like solving math problems, tech support, writing a joke, burgers, or cheese. Sometimes, he is benevolent but misinformed. In a few, He bought the universe from a store. Often, He is frustrated by His creations' inability to understand the universe.
He often appears with Jesus, Satan, or Evolution.
