Only the archangels have ever seen God, until God revealed himself to [[Metatron]] in [[season 11]]. The angel [[Joshua]] is the only known angel to have had conversations with Him prior to God revealing himself as [[Chuck Shurley]] to Metatron and the Winchesters. At some point out of sheer disappointment in his creations, God left Heaven, after witnessing what nature could create on it's own, he began taking a hands-off approach. Michael assumed command of the angels, and then ran Heaven and Earth for millennia. Both [[Uriel]] and [[Raphael]] lost faith in their maker, stating that God must be dead by now,<ref name="four16">[[4.16 On the Head of a Pin]]</ref><ref name="five03">[[5.03 Free to Be You and Me]]</ref> although most angels believed that He still exists.
While there are alternate versions of [[Death]], and the archangels, demons and humans in alternate universes such as [[Apocalypse World]], there is only one God.<ref>[[14.10 Nihilism]]</ref>
