God (or at least a being claiming to be so) appeared in the short story "The Granton Star Cause" as well as the movie Acid House (which was based on the story). God appears as a foul-mouthed Scotsman with a cynical outlook on life and a vindictive personality at odds with what most are accustomed to when dealing with the divine and became an antagonist of sorts to Boab, who he punished via transforming into a common fly (supposedly for "wasting his life").
