After an asteroid crashes into Bender, a civilization of tiny humanoid "Shrimpkins" grows on him and worships him as a god.
Bender enjoys his new-found status, picking a prophet named Malachi and having him bring "The One Commandment" ("God Needs Booze") to the Shrimpkins, who brew what for them are vast quantities of "Lordweiser" beer.
The micro-civilization is destroyed when the Shrimpkin factions launch atomic weapons out of Bender's nuclear piles.
During their time together, the entity tells Bender that it has had much the same experience with helping those who pray to it, and has given up on directly interfering in its worshippers' lives.
Fry spins the telescope's trackball and finds the cosmic entity by accident as he wishes out loud he had Bender back.
Bender recounts his tale and Fry boasts they "climbed a mountain and locked up some monks", which reminds Leela that they never let them out.
The cosmic entity chuckles and repeats advice it gave to Bender earlier: "When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all."
[2] Pinsky also notes that the monks visited by Fry and Leela occupy the monastery of "Teshuvah", which is the Hebrew word for repentance.
