  • Some characters have a very immature relation to God or His local equivalent. "God loves ME, not you, and He will provide me with anything I want." This comes in two main variations with two main variants each. 1. * Faith: Bob has this mindset about God.1A/Bratty Faith: Bob is religious, and expects God to take care of him and his life, favoring him over everyone else. Even if Bob is a fully-grown adult, he comes across as if he's a spoiled bratty five-year-old and God is a regular over-worked parent. Likely to also be a Windmill Crusader.1B/Whiny Faith: Bob is not religious (either as in "not very religious" or as in Hollywood Atheist), but keeps whining at God that he would believe in Him if He just started pampering him. This may be combined with a legitimate Rage Against the Heavens. 2. * Accusation: Bob has this mindset about Alice, expecting her to have this mindset about God. Thus he steer the conversation in this direction, trying to expose Alice as having the "Spoiled Brat Of The Lord" kind of conceited "personal relationship with Jesus".2A/False Accusation: Bob turns out to be wrong about Alice, looking rather silly in the process.2B/Insightful Accusation: Bob is right, and Alice is probably a Straw Loser. Compare Holier Than Thou, Hiding Behind Religion, The Fundamentalist, Immature Hedonist and The Presents Were Never From Santa. Contrast Pals with Jesus and Clap Your Hands If You Believe for when the character actually has the benefit of divine favor. No Real Life Examples, Please: Not only would it be flame bait, but this is also one of those tropes that most people can agree is common in Real Life but can't agree what cases are examples and what cases are not.
