That must be a reference I'm not getting. Should I be embarrassed? Is it something so ubiquitous that there's no reason I shouldn't get it?
Oh, fuck me, how could I forget about Thanos? That bastard wiped out half the universe (but that was largely able to be reversed) with the Infinity Gauntlet. Although that put him at the level of a god, while Rick is only human.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

I'd like to nominate Rick Sanchez. This man claims to have done something massively destructive 'on a planetary scale' which suggests it rivals that of Yahweh's global flood. Since the exact population of either cannot be determined, it's impossible to say who wrought more destruction, but Rick is certainly a strong competitor right out of the gate.
Then let's consider how he Cronenberged up the world in his own dimension of C-137. While unintentional, that was still a huge dick move on his part and he made no third attempt to try and correct it; at worst he would have killed them all and really, what would have been the difference since he and Morty abandoned it for an alternate dimension where they replaced their dead selves? But this was a planetary catastrophe of at least 6 billion and it's highly dubious that the Yahweh pool party claimed that high of a death count. But then, Rick didn't actually KILL anyone (although if the Cronenbergs were cognizant of what happened to them, I'm sure it would be considered a fate worse than death). It's a bit subjective, but you can certainly chalk up two devastated civilizations to Rick at this point.
Yahweh endorses slavery wholeheartedly. He even says how bad you can beat your slaves. Rick created an entire universe inside a box to run his car battery. While they were for the most part autonomous, they were being deceived and did have to spend a portion of their time producing power for him even though they were capable of benefiting from it too. But the bottom line is, Rick created them to serve him with zero care for them personally, even teaching them incorrectly what the raised middle finger meant, or the meaning of the phrases 'fuck you' and 'blow me'. Yahweh, it can hardly be argued, created us to stroke his own ego in this same way, so we are hardly any less mere playthings than the green-skinned folk in Rick's Microverse. I would say this is just barely more in favor of Yahweh since Rick never actually killed any of them (even his rival Zeep Zanflorp) out of malice or amusement. He did, however, cruelly tell a few of them that their existences were meaningless; actually, that shows more honesty of character than Yahweh, too. Yahweh in this round is worse than Rick, apparently.
I could go on but I'd like to hear what others have to say about either Rick or anyone else they care to nominate. Have at it and have fun!
You're right. This Sanchez guy is a mean dude. What's worse is he didn't even offer us a life of eternal bliss.

You mean, Rick didn't lie to us about that, so Yahweh gets points for being a dickish liar on top of that.

The inhabitants of Krikkit were pretty nasty in their intent, but weren't portrayed as evil per se, just nervous about sharing the universe with anyone else.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Did someone just say Wop?
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

But that was Hactar's doing. And he only did it because of what the Silastic Armorfiends did to him. And the only did that to him because the tried to STOP them from using the ultimate weapon to annihilate the entire universe.

I'm afraid that I would be because I just wouldn't give a damn. Turn on the world wide neural neutralizer, Van Gelder your asses, and walk away.
