God in Thessalonica
The Christians of Thessalonica invoked God's intercession for the protection of their city from the Slavs and Avars. God worked many miracles on their behalf throughout the siege, and when the city was attacked directly by Perun and other Slavic gods, God manifested Himself as a shield of light protecting the city and its defenders from the pernicious enemy deities.
God in "Before the Beginning"
Despite misconceived notions to the contrary among other great religions, God favored Judaism. For this reason, He allowed Jacob Dreyfus to speak with Him when Dreyfus looked through the time-viewer to before the Big Bang, though He had killed non-Jews who attempted the same thing.
God in The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump
God opposed the attempts of Aztec gods to begin a Third Sorcerous War.
God in Worldwar
The Race found the idea of the universe having been created by a "giant Big Ugly" ludicrous (God). This led many Christian, Muslim, and Jewish humans to resist Race rule in parts of Europe, Africa, South America and especially the Middle East. Other believers, such as Moishe Russie, Mordechai Anielewicz, and Pope Pius XII, were willing to cooperate with the heathen Lizards in worldly matters, and the Race did not intend to make belief in God rather than the Spirits of Emperors Past prohibitive in the granting of citizenship to humans.
God in "Islands in the Sea"
Chrisitanity and Muslim delegations argued in the courts of pagan monarchs over which faith enjoyed God's preference, though each acknowledged that the other worshiped the same God, Who was the only deity in the universe. The main dispute was over they ways of worship and the nature of God.
