* ''Series/MidsomerMurders'': The Reverend Giles Shawcross, the gloomy vicar in "[[Recap/MidsomerMurdersS13E2 The Sword of Guillaume]]". Naturally (for this programme), he's given a sign just at that moment.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': When Euron Greyjoy [[EnfantTerrible was a child]], after murdering his half-brother, he pissed into the ocean and dared the Drowned God to strike him down for kinslaying, [[KinslayingIsASpecialKindOfEvil the worst sin a person can commit in virtually every faith]]. When neither the Drowned God nor any other god did, Euron took it as proof that the gods and their morality systems were lies, only being limitations by men. Rather than despair, his reaction was ecstatic as it gave him free reign to indulge in all of his depravities ([[TheSociopath which are limitless]]). It's implied Euron's desire to become a god himself would be the final, ultimate insult towards the world's various beliefs.

* In ''Film/{{Caddyshack}}'', a golfer (and priest) is provoked by a ruined game to yell "[[UnusualEuphemism Ratfarts]]!" at the heavens. He's promptly [[BoltOfDivineRetribution struck by lightning]], and his caddy, Carl, slinks away. [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane Then again,]] he ''was'' playing in a thunderstorm.
** The music that plays in this scene is God's theme from ''Film/TheTenCommandments1956'', which featured the same actor (Henry Wilcoxon) and composer (Elmer Bernstein).
* Lightly subverted in ''Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982'' when [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Schwarzenegger's characterisation of Conan]] actually prays to Crom for the first time--rather than curse him out, he just asks for his desire, or for Crom to go to Hell. Whatever.
