Depictions of God in popular culture

Delete - Nominated once previously for deletion and kept because of the earnest protestations that it could be "cleaned up." Said "clean up" did not happen and the article remains another laundry list trivia dump directory of loosely associated topics. Otto4711 13:45, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Actually, the last AfD debate also showed evidence of a consensus for deletion, and probably should have been closed as delete as well.  The problem with this article, to put it simply, is that God is present in so much of our cultural works, in some form, that we can certainly consider God to be part of pop culture.  But, at the same time, this makes it less and less interesting to try to list specific examples: such examples are potentially limitless.  Of course, there might be potential for a real article on this subject, but this is not the start of such an article.  Mango juice talk 14:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment could you elaborate on we can certainly consider God to be part of pop culture? You can do it on my talk page if you wish - interesting idea. Cheers, Ouro (blah blah) 16:13, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. We should have an article on this topic, but this isn't it, and this isn't even a basis for it. JulesH 22:20, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as another one of those unsourced trivia-filled IPC articles.--JForget 23:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep I guess a lightning bolt is coming at me, but I see nothing silly or blasphemous about this article. George Burns, Morgan Freeman, and others have portrayed God, and there's a wide leeway in popular culture for depicting something that few of us have actually seen.  Not as common as the portrayal of Heaven in pop culture (which is itself fascinating), but how a film producer chooses to represent the Almighty says a lot about his or her own cultural influences.  I'll hate to see this one go.  Mandsford 01:07, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
