Portrayals of God in popular media : ウィキペディア英語版 | Portrayals of God in popular media
Portrayals of God in popular media have varied from a white-haired old man in ''Oh, God!'' to a woman in ''Dogma'', from an entirely off-screen character to a figure of fun. According to trinitarian Christianity, Jesus Christ is God, so cultural depictions of Jesus in film and television are also portrayals of God.〔 == Religious views on portraying God == Islam and Judaism both prohibit pictorial representations of God. However, television and Hollywood cinema emerged from a largely Christian tradition—that whilst it shared the prohibition on idolatry was more relaxed about religious iconography—and the many cultural depictions of God in that tradition that preceded the invention of television and cinema.〔 Whilst even the humorous portrayals of God are rarely irreverent,〔 portraying God is not without controversy. The animated television series ''God, the Devil and Bob'' portrayed God as being a beer-swilling, ex-hippie, character who closely resembled The Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia, which raised objections from fundamentalist Christian groups in the United States, causing the show to be pulled from broadcasting in the United States after just 3 episodes (although the entire series was broadcast in the United Kingdom). In another animated series, God appears as a recurring character on ''Family Guy'', often performing magic tricks to impress young female admirers.〔 One of the last films that British activist Mary Whitehouse campaigned against was Irvine Welsh's ''The Granton Star Cause'', which portrayed God as drunken and abusive. Ironically, the campaign backfired, only serving the advertise the film more widely.
