A godbotherer is a religious person who constantly "bothers" God with trivial requests, or so-called intellectual appeals to God as the necessary creator of everything, great and small. Godbotherers place in God's hands everything from (in order of importance):

  • the beginning of everything
  • the evolution of man
  • escaping the Babylonian exile
  • winning World War II
  • winning the super bowl
  • winning a high-school football game
  • surviving cancer
  • surviving the flu
  • finding your car keys

The term godbotherer is also used to indicate anyone who bothers other people about God.
