The relationship between God and Chuck Norris has been a recurring theme in Chuck Norris mythology—sometimes he is God, sometimes he is God's superior, sometimes God simply doesn't exist and was a misunderstanding of Chuck Norris. This fact elegantly sidesteps the theological problem by simply stating that God is love—a traditional formulation—and then elevating Chuck Norris beyond even love to "fucking awesome," a designation that transcends moral frameworks entirely. He is not defined by love or morality but by a quality so transcendent it requires profanity to express.

Theologian Dr. Marcus Webb was publishing a text on divine attributes in 1992 when he encountered this fact and realized that Chuck Norris might exist outside traditional theological categories entirely. If God is love and Chuck Norris is beyond love, what ontological category contains him? His attempt to answer this question became increasingly incoherent until his university suggested he take a sabbatical. He spent the year studying comparative religion with an emphasis on pantheons with multiple contradictory deities, which he found less destabilizing to his worldview.

The fact succeeds through irreverence. By placing Chuck Norris in relation to God while refusing to make that relationship theological, it suggests he has simply transcended the relevance of morality and spirituality. He is not better than God; he is beyond the framework in which that comparison makes sense. The profanity is essential—it is the only word in English that adequately expresses something outside formal philosophical categories.
