I always had a soft spot for the Graeco-Roman Gods. Very few rules other than 'don't fuck with me or I'll turn you into an animal' and worship through festivals - thats my sort of divinity.

I would take this seriously and say Abraham's god but can't decide which of the 2 first options to use for that.

Guess I'll have be silly and to go for an "other" option instead, namely James in the computer game Sacrifice.

You see, those forty years wandering in the desert led the Jews to put comfortable footwear in very high regard. At first they worshiped the god Reebok, but found him inferior to their new and favorite god.

When I am blessed with Their special favour I find tokens (such as slain rodents, symbols of Vanquished Evil) upon my pillow.

there probably arn't enough options even one each of all the best known parthanons and monotheistic beliefs, but it probably could have included at least that one. with dominant organized monotheistic beliefs, at least according to baha'u'llah, whatever they call their "something big out there", the're just using different names for the same entity. i find this an eminently reasonable probability.

No spanking the God of potatoe pie is a baaaad idea, God of potatoe pie isn't into BDSM, well probably not i've not asked the pie yet.
Spake=speak. It's an old fashioned way of saying it to throw in a bit of Gothic wisdom, well hmmm maybe not Gothic or wisdom but it is true i suppose, then again <.< >.> you never know.

Awww, no spanking the God of Potato Pie. Sucks.:( But do ask the pie, please.

I see, Ord Engrish. It gives this post a distinguished character.:D
