What are Zits’ views on God?

Like his father is in his life, Zits's God is both omnipresent and absent. Throughout the novel, Zits makes vague references to God, and refers to locations as heaven. The most ideal location he finds is in the early section of his time as the Indian boy, where he is reunited with his father. Zits sees the world as a string of abuses and betrayals, none of which are mediated by a god. The connection to his father is clear. In the same way that his father's initial betrayal ruined his perspective on life, so is the lack of a moral order something that only feeds Zits's pessimism. However, he does believe that the world order takes revenge; he often refers to his time travel as punishment for the bank atrocity. Therefore, his God also feels the desire for revenge, similar to that which Zits feels. Ultimately, however, Zits comes to believe in the redemptive power of forgiveness, which replaces revenge as his guiding sentiment. While Alexie does not tackle specific questions of Christianity, it is clear that questions of religious redemption and punishment permeate Zits's personal journey.
