Editing God (TOS)

'''God''' is addressed directly by [[Adama (TOS)|Commander Adama]] shortly after the [[Battle of Cimtar]], asking God to take the burden of saving humanity from him if possible.<ref>A similar plea is made by [[w:Jesus|Jesus of Nazareth]], according to Christian scripture, before his trial and crucifixion.</ref>

God, as well as the Lords of Kobol, are called upon by Adama to bless the [[seal]]ing of {{TOS|Apollo}} and [[Serina]] {{OS|Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II}}.

Given that the [[Ninth Lord of Kobol]] was mortal (entombed in [[Eden]] on {{TOS|Kobol}}), the Lords of Kobol may be more akin to [[w:saint|saints]], whom the Colonials worship as Roman Catholics venerate saints, whom Catholics believe intercede in prayer for their benefit.

In the episode "[[War of the Gods]]," the nature of God becomes confused in the series as the [[Beings of Light]] and [[Iblis]] appear. The episode dialogue infers more that the Lords of Kobol were deities, and that there is some connection between the Beings of Light, Iblis and the Lords of Kobol.
