God

"He is a force bigger than Mom and Dad put together, and you owe Him big."

- Lisa Simpson

"He [God] is my favorite fictional character."

- Homer Simpson

God is, according to many monotheistic religions, the Almighty Ruler and creator of the Universe. He resides in Heaven. His face is never shown on screen, except for a couple of occasions. See below for details.

In "Mr. Plow", after Homer reconciles with Barney and decide to join forces with him as partners in their respective plowing businesses, Homer mentions, "When two best friends work together, not even God Himself can stop them." God then replies, "Oh, no?" He causes the sun to suddenly appear, which melts away all the snow, and puts the both of them out of business.

In "Pray Anything", after Homer sues the church, he receives the deed to it as part of his award, and turns it into a sleazy hangout place, where all Ten Commandments are broken; the town begins to flood. As the flood starts to rise, Reverend Lovejoy returns in a helicopter and leads everyone in prayer, asking God to forgive them for letting themselves be led by a "demon in blue pants."

In "Thank God It's Doomsday", after Homer arrives in Heaven, and sees Marge and his children being tormented by the Devil, he has a talk with God about saving his family. When God refuses to help, due to Jesus' suffering on Earth, Homer becomes angry and runs around vandalizing Heaven in an attempt to change God's mind. God finally agrees to undo the Rapture by turning back time, and restores Moe's Tavern.

The Simpsons Game
God serves as the final boss to The Simpsons. He uses previous enemies encountered as icons in a "Guitar Hero"/"Dance Dance Revolution" match, while the chosen song ("Rock you Like a Hurricane", by the Scorpions) plays. As the whole family, you have to make them hit the notes in a correct time to break the game stations and defeat the minions he sends. They will change when the station is broken. Each station is a parody of a popular videogame console (i.e.: Praystation is a parody of PlayStation and the Hii is a parody of the Wii).

Simpsons Bible Stories
God is also portrayed by Ned Flanders' hand.

Trivia

 * In most of God's appearances in the various Simpsons media, His face is covered up (presumably deliberately). There were, however, two instances where His face was fully seen; in the opening of Treehouse of Horror XVI (when He hangs on to the edge of the universe after Kang and Kodos decide to destroy everything), and in the frame Ned Flanders turns around in Alone Again, Natura-Diddily.
 * Unlike everyone else in the Simpson universe, God has five fingers and toes instead of four on each hand and four toes; a trait inherited by His son, Jesus Christ. Many fans have pondered the reasoning behind this. It was in fact an error as in the final scene of "Homer the Heretic", while God and Homer are talking about Heaven, you can see the number of fingers on God's hands change from 5 to 4, the same as the rest of the cast.
