* Three simple words: GodIsEvil. Not some fantasy expy, not some overhyped space monster, the God YOU are familiar with, the Judeo-Christian God you were always told was good, and all the bad things that happen were for a good reason. And He's not even evil for a higher purpose, He's evil for the same reason ''we'' are - because He's a neurotic, selfish asshole who only cares about Himself. We ARE made in His image, and that isn't a good thing.

* Arseface's backstory. Heavily abused by his father, he leans hard on his friendship with Pube to get through life. When Kurt Cobain commits suicide, he and Pube decide to do the same thing. Pube dies; [[BodyHorror he doesn't]]. His father rejects him, his mother walks out, and his friend's sister blames ''him'' for all the suffering he's endured. Ultimately, he's left with his father's approval as the last thing he can reach for - and then Jesse Custer passes through town. By the time Jesse leaves, Arseface doesn't even have that anymore.

* Jesse's grandmother and her minions. In particular, how much joy she takes in how broken he looks [[spoiler: after they kill Tulip.]] It's also just uneasy seeing him so broken considering his normal confident (if a bit careless) self.

* Jesse Custer's attempt to directly confront the superbeing for abandoning creation took a dire turn for the worse. As the preacher lay maimed and barely conscious in a void of thundering fury, the enraged deity would continue to viciously assault him, all the while relentlessly demanding an answer of acceptance and deference lest he be damned.

-->'''Eisenstein'': A Spetsnaz unit was invited on a N.A.T.O special forces exercise in northern Norway. But the weather closed in faster than expected. The team was cut off. In their patronizing way, the Western military believed they had a lot to teach the Russians. They thought in terms of [[CrazyPrepared method]]... when in fact it was a matter of [[IDidWhatIHadToDo philosophy]]. Don't look round. It was forty degrees below zero. The four-man unit stumbled on an elderly couple stranded in their mountain cabin. They had food in their larder for another week. [[NoPartyLikeADonnerParty The blizzard lasted two]]. You can look now.
