* Done twice by Jason in ''ComicStrip/Foxtrot'', both involving his crush/rival Eileen Jacobson. At the height of the Pokemon TCG craze, he prayed to God that "if he were kind and loving, he would let this pack contain a holofoil Charizard card...so I can laugh in Eileen Jacobson's face". Years later, he prayed that he would crush Eileen on the next day's math test, before amending it to "let me crush everyone".

Subtrope of EgocentricallyReligious. Compare HolyHandGrenade, when divine malice is weaponized in a holy artifact, which may easily overlap if the artifact is summoned by prayer. Compare and contrast SmiteMeOMightySmiter, when a person dares God to be malicious to themself. If played for BlackComedy, it's overlapping with SillyPrayer.

Add Cultist of Cerebon

Added DiffLines:

* The ''[[https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/73112/cultist-of-cerebon-litrpgisekai/ Cultist of Cerebon]]'' (god of fleshcrafting), after some of his congregation is assassinated by the Conclave, calls the others together and performs a ritual sacrifice to call upon Cerebon's power to smite the Conclave. It works [[GoneHorriblyRight better than he intended]], getting the job done but also alarming the city leadership: [[spoiler:everything organic inside the target building, from the wooden window frames to the roof shingles, mutates into grasping tentacles and fanged mouths; those who escape from being eaten by the building are covered in tumours and boils; and the surrounding wildlife becomes a horde of monstrosities that sets upon them with oversized beaks and razor claws.]]
--> '''Zareth:''' Lord Cerebon, help us deliver justice to those who have killed your followers. Please, accept our offerings as proof of our devotion. Demonstrate your power to the city of Tal'Qamar, and show them the consequences of harming your followers.

* ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968'': In the dying days of the UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode, the scene of Charlton Heston pounding the sand on the beach and saying "God damn you all to Hell!" was presented to the censors as not being one of these, because Taylor was literally calling on God to damn all of humanity to Hell for what they had done (destroying themselves in nuclear warfare).

* In Sailor J's "Tales of the Altar," a woman prays for the death of her husband's dentist for "touching her man." Her guardian angel is appalled because, one, she's his ''dentist'', and two, the woman jumped straight to "kill her" instead of "have her transferred to another city." Fortunately he refuses to go through with it.
-->'''Guardian Angel:''' She just gotta be dead?\\
'''Woman:''' Dead as fuck.\\
'''Guardian Angel:''' ''Girl''.
