God

From Wittypedia

Look up. Go on. Somewhere up there is a big bearded white guy who created everything. He created a whole universe consisting of billions upon billions of stars and then decided our sun was the perfect one to start life near to. He gave himself 7 days to create everything but, like all builders, it actually took him a bit longer - by several billion years or so.

God also created heaven, which is like a huge members club, so that if we've lead a good life we have some place nice to go - as a sort of treat. There currently exists (within Christianity at least) a loophole allowing anyone, regardless of past misdemeanours, to repent on their death bed and ascend into heaven - meaning you can quite legitimately be a complete git all your life and still get to hang in the VIP lounge once you die.

God has famously kept a back-seat when it comes to the day to day running of his masterpiece, allowing humans to do whatever they darn well pleasey. This was until he saw a lovely girl called Mary and decided it was about time he had a son.
He was a somewhat harsh father who amongst other things had his only child go into a desert for 40 days and nights and eventually crucified. Luckily, child welfare hadn't been invented or he'd no doubt have been administering the universe from an open prison for a couple of years.

This, however, is a Christian version of god but he exists in many different forms throughout the plethora of religions on offer to today's modern consumer. All religions agree that the god they worship is definitely the one true god which, psychologists believe, makes god the first known case of multiple personality disorder.

God is both omnipotent and omnipresent and did at one stage flirt with the idea of being omnidirectional too, although he now leaves this to microphones.
This omnipresence seems somewhat of a waste due to his laid back approach to running the place but does mean he's yet to miss any episodes of days of our lives.

Most wars have been started through 'my god is better than your god' arguments and those that haven't have a strong 'you're god is different so you must die' undercurrent. This is why god sent Jesus down to put a stop to all that... by adding yet another religion to the pile. These Jesusians went on to form religious crusades and also divided into splinter groups who began to fight each other over the correct way to worship him. So, job well done there.
