A six-panel SMBC comic. Two people discuss God's behavior by comparing it to playing a video game in 'god mode.' One asks if the other has ever played a game in god mode; the answer is yes. Asked what the first thing you do is, the reply is 'Everything' / destroy everything. They agree: in god mode you run around destroying everything, but eventually stop and switch to something else. This is mapped onto God: you do the Flood, then mankind moves on for a few millennia, gets bored, and moves on. The final panel shows a smiling dark-haired man in a green shirt (standing in for God) saying, 'I'm really into Minecraft now,' likening God to a bored gamer who has moved past world-destroying to a building game. Votey (bonus panel): a single large speech bubble reading, 'No one's sodomizing anyone yet, but the moment they do, BAM! Flood your asses!' — a crude punchline tying the Flood to the destruction of Sodom.
