"By the morning hours / And by the night when it is stillest, / Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee, / And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former, / And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content..."
—The Qur'an, "The Morning Hours" (Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall translation)
"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
"For God is good, or rather of all goodness he is fountainhead: and it is impossible for one who is good to be mean or grudging about anything."
— Athanasius of Alexandria, On the Incarnation of the Word (chapter 3)
''Oh my god, God's cool!"
— Adam, "adam and eve talk to god"
Our gods are great and powerful warriors but they are just and true to their word.
Yo! God is good ehn? And he expects us to be good. And if you're not, he's gonna come down, and bust your freakin' skull! Amen.
Carengie: "God is Good."
Eli: " All the time."
You are alpha, omega
Beginning and end
You're my savior, messiah,
Redeemer and friend

I AM THE ONE ABOVE ALL. I see through many eyes. I build with many hands. They are themselves, but they are also me. I am all-powerful. My only weapon is love.
—The One Above All, The Ultimates (2015)
I would have been at your side from the beginning, had I been allowed. But I am rarely permitted on your side of the veil anymore. A specific intercession was made on your behalf. I was granted power to save you, if you had triumphed. If you did not, you would still be among the honored dead.
Jake: "It's okay to be mad at God about it, son. It ain't His fault, what happened, but he understands."
Harry Dresden: "Maybe He does. But He doesn't care. I don't know why everyone thinks He does. Why would He? I mean, this whole universe, right? All those stars and all those worlds. Probably so many different kinds of people out there that we couldn't count them all. How could God really care about what's happening to one little person on one little planet among a practically infinite number of them?"
Jake: "Well, I never been to much school, you understand. But it seems to me that you assuming something you shouldn't assume."
Harry: "What's that?"
Jake: "That God sees the world like you do. One thing at a time. From just one spot. Seems to me that He is supposed to be everywhere, know everything. Think about that. He knows what you're feeling, how you're hurting. Feels any pain, your pain, like it was His own. Hell, son. Question isn't how could God care about just one person. Question is, how could He not."

"I seek Allah's protection from the savage Satan. There is no god but Allah, who lives eternally and takes constant care of his creations. Never a moment of unawareness or slumber overtakes him. To him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. Who can intercede with him, except in accordance with his will? He knows their past and their future. No one attains any knowledge, except as he wills. His dominions encompass the heavens and the earth and ruling them never burdens him. He is the most high, the great."
—Ending Voiceover, Satan's Slave
The place was a little church, tucked in an out of the way corner, as was proper. The Gods did not want humanity or Pokemon to dedicate much to their worship, or so it was said; to live as best as one could was the worship they preferred, to live and love, to exist and be happy. That was the purpose their maker had made them for.
