A supreme being can be good or evil (or both or neither), but in either case they ought to be...supreme. Right? However, in some works, we find a god who is prejudiced and flawed. Not So Omniscient After All, maybe even a bit of a bigot. Worshippers who try to blackmail God into answering prayers (or foolishly goad God) are unlikely to get an answer...or at least, not a favorable one. Ironically, this might make the deity easier to relate to, and thus more sympathetic. This trope is traditionally played on polytheistic gods but is also getting more and more common on the monotheistic Godnote we say "the" because the monotheistic god in question is almost always the Abrahamic one, due to his prominence if nothing else. With Jesus, this is still usually avoided. But not always. If they don't want the responsibilities of being a god anymore, see Being God Is Hard. Compare Humans Are Flawed, God Is Inept, Loser Deity, The Devil Is a Loser, Stop Worshipping Me and What If God Was One of Us?, as well as King of All Cosmos. May be due to there being Pieces of God strewn all over the cosmos. Oh, and beware. Here be spoilers! Examples |

Many of the Archons (Elemental gods of a region) from Genshin Impact can be considered this. Many of them wish to help their nation and its people, following an ideal that they believe will benefit them as a whole. However, their methods are flawed, and sometimes have negative effects on their people. The most flawed of them is the Electro Archon who rules over the land of Inazuma. She believes in the concept of Eternity and thinks that change is evil and will lead to destruction of her country after living through the horrors of the Cataclysm that took her sister's life, and thus tries to keep her nation in statis. She hides away in a pocket dimension meditating while leaving her country in the hands of a Puppet, issuing a Vision Hunt and a lockdown that causes an entire year of suffering and a civil war to break out. It isn't until the Traveler along with her friend's help and a special Macguffin that houses the wills of humanity supercharges them allowing them to overcome her and convince her that her methods were wrong. The Traveler later on teaches her the importance of walking among her people, showing her that change is an inevitable thing, and that it doesn't have to be bad. Upon acknowledging her mistakes, she becomes The Atoner and soon takes a more direct hand in leading her country. By the time of the Iradori festival that takes place later, her country has changed greatly for the better. | |

In A Certain Magical Index, the so-called Majin (Magic Gods) that make up the True GREMLIN are all powerful but flawed beings. One notable example is High Priest, a Majin who wears the trappings of a Buddhist monk even though he failed to achieve enlightenment. | |

In The Name of the Wind the story of Tehlu initially portrays him as judgmental and unwilling to help anyone who doesn't meet his standards. Sample attitude: that man beats his wife but she's sleeping around, so they deserve each other. He's taught to be more compassionate by the mother of his human incarnation. | |

In Der Münchner im Himmel, God greatly misjudges the recently deceased Alois Hingerl. He orders Aloisius to play his harp and chant cheerfully and actually expects the former Munich citizen to do all that without a single drop of beer. Aloisius' cheering ends up more of a Cluster F-Bomb. As if admitting his misjudgment, God sends Aloisius back to Munich. | |

RWBY: Volume 6 flashbacks reveal that it's only after Salem has been punished with Complete Immortality that it occurs to her that she successfully manipulated the gods and accidentally pitted them against each other. She concludes that they're not infallible and therefore can be opposed. She manipulates monarchs with the promise of immortality and raises an army to take down the gods. However, humanity is no match for the beings that created them and gave them their gifts, such as magic. The God of Darkness takes back the magic from humanity, then wipes outs the entire race except for Salem. The two gods depart with the God of Light saying that they will reflect on the mistakes they have made while Salem should reflect on hers. Volume 9 confirms that the two Brothers have a very flawed understanding of existence when the heroes meet the being that created the gods and learn just how flawed the gods really are. | |

In Lucifer, all creators are very flawed. Lucifer himself neglects to construct a proper afterlife. Elaine fails to keep her humans from killing each other in her name. Yahweh's plan for the universe works more or less perfectly, maybe even better than he had expected — pity that all the people were a bit of an afterthought and filler in his grand design. |

A god being flawed is what kicks off the plot of The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You - the God of Love was watching Castle in the Sky while filling out Rentarou's soulmate count, and became so distracted by the "Balse" scene that he accidentally added two zeroes to the count, which lead to Rentarou being rejected one hundred times prior to gaining the titular 100 girlfriends. | |

In Supernatural, given that God tends to work In Mysterious Ways, there is much debate in- and out-of-universe about whether God Is Good or God Is Evil, but it's clear that God is not perfect. The Season 5 finale supports the "good" position. God AKA Chuck states that He wanted everyone to realize that FAMILY is what it's all about; not power, not good, not evil...family and love. Dean and Sam choosing family over everything else is supposed to be proof of that and why God did not need to directly intervene. On the other hand, God's own Parental Favoritism and later abandonment of His own children, the angels, forcing Michael to choose between his brother Lucifer or his father, comments by Sam and Dean about God just being another deadbeat father, and the treatment of God's earlier creations the Leviathans, and general refusal to do anything about the problems His abandonment has caused create most of the problems from Season 5 onward and point to God being a hypocrite who claims to be good and value family but uses it and free will to justify ignoring His responsibilities and the mess His abandonment created among the angels. It finally takes the re-emergence of His destructive sister The Anti-God for Him to intervene directly in season 11. God explains that He was so hands-off because when He tried being a helicopter parent, it ended up backfiring. The season 14 ending, on the other hand definitely comes down on the side of God Is Evil, as He kills Jack and starts a Zombie Apocalypse when Sam and Dean don't want to play along for His entertainment. | |

The gods on the Discworld aren't evil, but they couldn't care less about humans except that Gods Need Prayer Badly. Om gets better about this after Small Gods due to Break the Haughty.

Marle in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2. Being the Will of the Worlds, she created Squares out of loneliness and gave him a role involving managing order while she focused on fun. However, her not properly explaining Squares' role to him as well as not taking his maturity into account leads him to get very confused when they first witnessed the Puyo Puyo and Tetris worlds merging. Bad things happen as a result of this. | |

The two most influential active gods in The Death Mage Who Doesn't Want a Fourth Time both have this issue, not helped by the two being irreconcilably opposed. Alda, the Big Bad, is somewhere between a Hero Antagonist and a Knight Templar. He's the god of Light and Order and is having to do a damn hard job all by himself without his sibling deities to offer contrasting opinions or at least share the workload. His religion is the most powerful one in the land and is devoted to restoring a previous Golden Age, removing all the dangerous monsters and exiling or sealing all the Evil Gods in the land. The problem is that this goal is clearly impossible and, even if it were not, requires the genocide of millions of people who have done literally nothing wrong except to be born as members of races that are technically monsters, sort of. It isn't even clear whether returning the world back to the former Golden Age would even be improvement: The dangerous monsters and dungeons represent immense potential resources if utilized properly. "Evil God" is also a misnomer: Some of them were actually allies and perfectly decent, but he refuses to acknowledge it. Opposing Alda is his sister Vida, goddess of Life and Love. She's the Big Good of the series and the protagonist's backer. After a devastating war that killed almost everyone in the world and left at least two thirds of uninhabitable wastelands for those who remained, she decided the best way to repopulate the world would be to use her strengths in creating life to make new races that could live with the old ones, creating races like vampires, arachne, dark elves, mermaids and so on. Sure, all well and good, but two issues. First, half of her children cause further corruption to the land around them. Second, these races often have flaws that completely undermine the purpose they were created for. Vampires, for example, are asexual and roughly half the races she created are exclusively female, making them a kind of biological failure. It's indicated that it really might have been better to work with Alda from the start but for various reasons she had lost all faith in him by that point and stubbornly decided to do her own thing without consulting him. A poor decision, as it turns out. |

Exalted: The Unconquered Sun in theory loves humanity and wants the best for them, but he's too busy playing/being addicted to the Games of Divinity to care about what happens in Creation — if he let himself pay attention he'd suffer a(nother) nervous breakdown seeing all the suffering and problems. Luna and the Five Maidens aren't paying that much more attention, either. Many little gods are so petty and selfish that sometimes humans would be better off without them. With the seven Incarnae paying them no attention, the Celestial and Terrestrial Bureaucracies are corrupt and inefficient, and the Elemental Courts are out to lunch — gods who do care and try to do their jobs right are still numerous, but they're hampered and sometimes persecuted by all the ones who don't. The only place where the divine Courts still more-or-less functioning is where they're forced to by the agents of a despotic human theocracy led by an objectively wrong religion. Then there are the Primordials, who built all this in the first place. They started out as inhuman, incomprehensible things somewhere between Titans and Eldritch Abominations, and after being imprisoned by the gods most of them have devolved into Mad God territory. The reason the war ended is that one suffered a psychotic break to understand that other sapient creatures might have opinions. Meanwhile, the two free Primordials who sided with the gods have wandered off somewhere else, and let Creation rot. The main reason Creation worked when the Primordials ran things is because they drove the gods and humans as slaves. |

Valhalla: The Aesir are all presented as human-like in their tempers and flawed, with many of them having traits that make them occasionally unsympathetic without being outright villainous. Odin is a Dirty Old Man who claims an Omniscient Morality License he very often can't live up to; Thor is hot-headed, impulsive and not the best family man (though he loves his wife dearly); Heimdall is pompous, cowardly and has some deeply troubling ideas about love and sex, and Loki is... Well, he's Loki. Even Baldur, who is otherwise a Nice Guy per excellence is revealed to be Innocently Insensitive in regards to his blind brother Hodir, though he's deeply troubled by the realization. Overall, the comic makes a point of it that having some flaws (many of whom are played up for comedic effect) doesn't make the Aesir bad people; in many ways being flawed makes it easier for them to relate to and be sympathetic to mortals. | |

God, the Devil and Bob shows God as omnipotent but still physically and psychologically human. He generally wants what's best for the world, but he's not afraid to take extreme measures to get what he wants. Like the time he crushed someone under a tree in order to get on a baseball team, or the several times he's considered destroying humanity if Bob doesn't complete whatever mission he's been given. He also has a few fears and doesn't seem to have any power over the Devil. | |

In Blå Tornet, the world was created by a guy who one day had a really bad cold. In his fever, he happened to give his angels some really bad orders. Thousands of years of tragedy later, these are still in effect. And no, this is not Played for Laughs at all. Quite the contrary, actually. | |

The goddesses of the Neptunia series always mean well and are good girls, but have their own quirks. Neptune is a prime case of The Gods Must Be Lazy, Vert has a game addiction that leads to week-long MMO runs, Blanc has a temper problem and Noire doesn't play well with others. Not to mention Plutia's HDD mode being a nasty dom and Peashy being a little kid with too much power. Though once they get their act together, they can take out anything from lowly mooks to villainess goddesses to universe-wrecking abominations. | |

In Werewolf: The Apocalypse, the three members of the Triat are supposed to be working together to keep the forces of the cosmos in balance. Unfortunately, they're either too busy struggling against each other or too indifferent to perform their tasks properly.

In Supergod, it is argued that the concept of "God" is a flawed concept, a by-product of the biochemical systems in the human brain (namely the pleasure center). Thus, trying to create gods would be a very, very bad idea... even if they weren't weaponized and based on flawed humans. | |

In Xenoblade Chronicles 1, the soul of the Bionis, Zanza, is very flawed. He has an immense amount of hubris, is very arrogant, and believes himself to be the be-all-end-all who decides how life on the Bionis should live, wiping them out with Telethia on a whim should he feel they become close to breaking from the passage of Fate that he himself created, and claims to have done this many times before. Despite being able to see Visions of what is to come, he is not omnipotent, as the person who actually supplies him power is Alvis, the Third God and the True Monado, who was originally a machine, and as such is not flawed like Zanza. His counterpart, Meyneth, the soul of the Mechonis, is much more benevolent, but she still makes mistakes as well, as she let Zanza wipe out and restart the cycle of creation on Bionis many times in the past without lifting a finger, only finally opposing his actions when he began to attack the people living on her Titan. However, the 2 Gods being flawed is very justified considering both of them were originally Humans who became Gods through an experiment that destroyed and recreated the universe. | |

In the sequel, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, The Architect who lives on Alrest was really just a man named Klaus, the same Klaus who became Zanza in the world of Xenoblade 1, except he is the other half of that being. When the world was destroyed by the experiment, and he became a God, he realized the destruction he had wrought through his eagerness to create a new world and lamented it, despite starting his experiments in the hopes of creating a perfect world where people would not have to suffer and in turn, become evil and twisted like people had in his original home of Earth. As such, after creating Blades and Humans, he took an off hands approach and wanted people to live without his guidance and make a good world on their own. This allowed Amalthus to climb the world tree and retrieve Malos and Mythra's Core Crystals, which then would proceed to ravage the world in their clash later known as the Aegis War, sinking 3 titans in the process. As a result of this, Amalthus would then try to attack and destroy Mythra, which led him to end up ruining Jin's life and beginning his Start of Darkness. By that same token, Amalthus had already been corrupted by the world around him, and those feelings of hatred he harbored towards Humanity and the World was what caused Malos to become evil and warped in the first place, and started the war. So because of the Architect's hands-off approach, he inadvertently created the main antagonists of the game through his actions. God is not perfect here either. However, he still has much better intents and is much more benevolent than his other half, Zanza, in Xenoblade 1's dimension. | |

Kill Six Billion Demons has YISUN. Despite being the creator of the universe and the most powerful being there is, he freely admits that not only is reality his opinion, he doesn't know if it's a correct one. Then again, he also admits he's a Consummate Liar. Given how unimaginably powerful he is, it doesn't matter much. He's dead at the time he does these things. Also, the goddess Aesma. She's short-tempered, Hot-Blooded, impatient, and rather stubborn. Kind of obvious where humanity gets it from. All Seven Demiurges count in their own ways; in spite of their all-consuming evils, they're still people. They just happen to cause cosmically more death and destruction than mortals as the inheritors of the multiverse.note Mottom is a high-class bitch who is so afraid of death and decay that she murders young virgins to power her Fountain of Youth, Mammon has lost his mind to dementia along with his greed and is generally too impotent to stop 000001 from controlling his empire of humble hypocrisy, Solomon David tries to be a good Emperor but his actions are filled with pride and spite, Gog-Agog is quirky but cannibalizes her own followers on a regular basis, Jadis just wants to die as soon as possible because her perfect oracle powers showed the multiverse's grimdark fate, Incubus doesn't care about what he has or how it rots but what he believes he deserves is more respect, and Jagganoth is basically an Ax-Crazy Goku. May also veer into God Is Evil, if one can believe Jagganoth's claim that Metatron made up YISUN to justify his totalitarian rulership of Heaven, while Metatron is the true Top God but blames a perfect God who made him as an excuse for his flawed (and possibly malevolent) behavior. This still counts, because Zoss pummeled this supposedly unkillable and near-omnipotent entity into submission and crippled him so thoroughly that no amount of scheming will stop the endless eldritch pain coursing through his quadriplegic body. |

Rosario Vampire: Brightest Darkness: The Almighty is depicted throughout the first three acts, as well as the first third or so of the fourth, as being strictly pro-human/anti-monster, with most angels being shown in a similar fashion. However, by Act IV chapter 16, the Almighty is moved by Rason's willingness to die for his belief that monsters can be good just like humans, and by the end of Act IV, monsters are being accepted into Heaven as well. | |

Dragon Ball Super: During the Future Trunks Saga, this is one of the primary arguments between Gowasu, the Supreme Kai of Universe 10, and his apprentice Zamasu. Zamasu is firmly convinced that all mortals are flawed and should be wiped out and disagrees with Gowasu's statement that the gods themselves are also flawed and must also learn and grow like the mortals they watch over. It gets worse when he starts to believe he averts this trope while all the other gods are just as bad as the mortals since they do nothing about mortal affairs. Gowasu himself is a shining example of this trope: while undoubtedly a good god, he turns out to be a Horrible Judge of Character in regards to Zamasu, taking him as his apprentice despite Zamasu's adamant racism against mortal life and other signs that he's not entirely stable, with everything Gowasu does to try to convince Zamasu that not all mortals are bad backfiring and eventually driving him to a Face–Heel Turn. Gowasu is well-aware of this, and very much regrets it. | |

Played with in the Pony POV Series. While the Alicorns and Draconequi represent perfection in what they personify, but in all other aspects are flawed like mortals. The fact Celestia and Luna aren't perfect is a theme in the series. They've both made their own mistakes (including Nightmare Moon) and being the Perfect Day and the Perfect Night doesn't mean they're perfect ponies. When an Alicorn becomes imperfect in their own Concept, they become Nightmares. | |

Futurama: The episode "Godfellas" explores the idea of one being acting as God to many less powerful ones, neither of which is perfect: Bender gets a colony of tiny people living on his body. Even when he tried to be a benevolent god, he screwed up so badly that they all died in the end. The nebula that Bender believes is God is powerful and rational, but doesn't seem to remember its own possibly artificial origins and is highly suggestible on the matter. It is incredibly knowledgeable but far from omniscient, and initially uncertain where the Earth is in the universe. However, it's possible that he's simply pretending to prevent unnecessary effects from occurring. He explains just how difficult it is to be God — do too much and the people become dependent on you, do too little and they stop believing in you. He explains that the only way to do things right is make it so that no one can be sure if you did anything. As he sets up the ending so that Bender will go back and save the monks, it's implied that his seeming faults are merely another part of his act. "The Beast with a Billion Backs" is about an Eldritch Abomination that rules Heaven (which is actually a Fluffy-Cloud Eldritch Location and angels are non-sentient birds shaped like people). Despite being all-loving, shkle's crippled by jealousy and immediately ban everyone because one guy sent a letter to his friend, accidentally breaking the strange 'no relationships with other universes' rule. |

In Preacher, it is eventually revealed that all of the world's problems are caused by being created by a guy who grew up in total solitude (because there wasn't any universe yet!) and thus developed what could be considered a narcissistic personality disorder as well as any number of related mental problems, who gets off on people loving him despite making theirs a Crapsack World. He even caused the events leading to the creation of Genesis (the offspring of an angel and a demon, with power rivalling God's), so as to have the love of an equal. And it's pointed out that when it's said "He made us in His image", it should never be considered a compliment. | |

The Bible has several instances of God admitting mistakes, maybe the most moving and meaningful in Genesis 6:5-7. It also has many instances of God getting angry. Not something you'd expect to see in a perfect God considering wrath is a deadly sin. Plus, He also experiences jealousy, especially towards anyone who worships a God other than Him (with Satan or idols often painted as the other gods, but with no way of us knowing if idols are real gods). |

In Saint Young Men, the vast majority of the humour comes from seeing two divine figures (it is notable that they are Jesus and Buddha, who are both explicitly human as well as divine) constantly making mistakes, screwing up, and annoying each other, although their personality flaws are relatively minor (Jesus is prone to making impulse Cosplay purchases, and tends to be quite needing of attention, whereas Buddha is something of a Cloud Cuckoo Lander with terrible body image thanks to all the fat statues). They also suffer from Power Incontinence under certain conditions (Buddha glows when he is virtuous or angry, Jesus's stigmata bleed whenever he feels persecuted, and both of them occasionally float without meaning to). Obviously, a perfect being would be able to control such embarrassing faux pas as accidentally turning all nearby water to wine whenever in a good mood. For bonus points Jesus is Hydrophobic, IE afraid of water. The reason he walked on water? Because he was too scared to swim. When he tried to force himself to submerge his head under the water in a pool he wound up parting it like the Red Sea. |

This is an overreaching theme for TRON in general. The Master Control Program believed itself to be a deity among systems, but it was a chess program that Dillinger lost control of, and Flynn sneers at Sark that Sark's just another program. "One that should have been erased." The renegade programs view Users, like Flynn, to be gods. Of course, Flynn splashes cold water on that notion when Tron brings it up. | |

Over 90% of TRON: Legacy takes place in a world known as The Grid, and the major conflict is built on the characters Flynn and Clu. Flynn is the creator of the world, but Clu has ruled the world since he rebelled against Flynn. Flynn is wise and benevolent, a personality that might seem a bit out of character for those who have seen the first movie and remember him as an immature brat. At the very end, it is revealed that he was still immature and shortsighted when he created the world and Clu, and that's why the world is in the sorry condition it is - Clu was simply carrying out the orders given to him by Flynn to the best of his ability, but Flynn and his world were both flawed. Thus Clu carried out flawed orders to the best of his flawed ability. This turned his quest for perfection into something vile, warping him into a Totalitarian Utilitarian leader of something that looks eerily familiar. At the climax of the movie, Flynn confronts Clu and spells out just how wrong he was, admitting he was arrogant and foolish, and forgiving Clu for trying to do the impossible and creating a twisted mockery of their original goals. | |

In The Order of the Stick, Thor explains that every god is unimaginably powerful, but is ultimately composed of a single essence based on their pantheon. A creation made of a single essence is ephemeral, but when the gods pour their essences together, the result is more stable. And this is why The Snarl can be contained by mortals but not by gods. As a being composed of four different essences, it would utterly annihilate a god made of a single essence while taking longer to annihilate a mortal world made of three. Thor's gambit is trying to convince The Dark One to pour his essence to reinforce the world, bringing it back to four essences. | |

South Park: The few times God has appeared in show, he's been portrayed as a decent guy. A hippo-monkey-cat who's a practicing Buddhist, but a nice guy. Flawed because of his long-time practice of only letting Mormons into Heaven...which meant everyone else went to Hell. Including Buddhists. The first idea (God being Buddhist) is probably a spoof of a real-life concept in Buddhism that according to some scriptures God himself recognized Buddha’s superioritynote Or more exactly, Mahabrahma, the King of Devas, considered by many Buddhists the inspiration of the God from the monotheistic religions which Shows Their Work. The second idea of only letting Mormons enter heaven is mocking the belief that some real-life fundamentalist churches have that only members of their specific group would enter heaven no matter what behavior good or bad non-members may have. On the other hand, Hell is a pretty decent place for most people (only serious evildoers get actually tortured), while Heaven is so dull that only the Mormons can enjoy it. Even serious evildoers often are able to do rather well in Hell. Saddam Hussein managed to romance Satan himself (who turns out to be not too bad a guy after all, and certainly not deserving of what happens to him) and parlay being Satan's abusive boyfriend into taking over Hell and using it to invade Earth. | |

Hellblazer: The First of the Fallen is believed by John to have been God's conscience- the little voice in your head that tells you "this is a bad idea". God, however, had the option of getting rid of that voice (when the First expressed his doubts about a species with free will). Later, it turns out Merlin was one of the angels who couldn't handle God creating mortals either, and God tried to get rid of his first batch for being too perfect. | |

Family Guy: Makes frequent references to God being a flawed Being and at times an outright Dirty Old Man. For instance, in the former example, he once was accused of "making Rosie wrong" (a reference to Rosie O Donnell's recent announcement that she was gay). In the latter example, he's depicted as lusting after women and wanting them for sex. | |

The Father from Doom Eternal is the one being that the Maykr race comes from. From what we can see in the Khan Makyr, we can probably infer that he has issues. Said issues being that while he is actually truly, genuinely good and compassionate, he is also too compassionate, having decided to banish the Dark Lord instead of killing him because he loved him too much. And according to lore, either the Dark Lord was God, or was the firstborn son of God. Either way, God wouldn't/couldn't make more than a few people immortal, which was the Start of Darkness for the Dark Lord. |

In ULTRAKILL, the Testaments at the end of almost every secret level outline God's turmoil in the backstory. He has spent countless cycles trying and failing to create a mind without free will, believing it to be the biggest flaw with humanity. Out of frustration, He creates Hell, and quickly regrets it upon realizing that Hell itself is a living organism which is far too powerful to be unmade. Then He banishes Lucifer there upon being questioned about why humanity deserved to suffer, another decision which soon wracks Him with guilt. The end result of all this is God disappearing from Heaven (if not having outright died), leaving a corrupt Council of Angels to rule in His stead. | |

The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster: The Flying Spaghetti Monster caused the great flood by accident; when making pasta, the drain of the heavenly kitchen sink emptied itself straight down to earth. Oops. | |

Both of the goddesses from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn are flawed. One is known for having an unpredictable temper and the other is half-insane from isolation and sees mankind as a blemish on her definition of "order". They're two halves of a whole deity that was also flawed, with a notable "does not know her own strength" incident that wiped out most of the continents. | |

God Nose: In this satirical underground comic, God is shown to be flawed and has self-doubts. He even gets into arguments with his own son Jesus. | |
