Gobs of Gods

[evildave]

I took a few minutes to compile the names of a few of the deities that people have believed in, and that people still do believe in... I definitely missed LOTS of them. Only about 1400 of them here. Some of them are probably repeats and/or synonyms for the same ones, too.

Any obviously missing ones?

Now then, given "Pascal's Wager", that you should believe because it's dangerous not to believe, which one should I believe in, "just to be safe"?

Or perhaps he/she/it/they aren't listed here?

[neutrino_cannon]

I'm impressed, to say the least. A fitting cyber-tribute to the things that the human mind has created.

Oh yeah, and you missed jehovah.

 

[Julia]

How about Venus? They say she's a real babe (or hottie,
whatever).

 

[Guest]

Now then, given "Pascal's Wager", that you should believe because it's dangerous not to believe, which one should I believe in, "just to be safe"?

Names are just that. It is the concept that is important.

Don't eat the menu instead of the food, Dave.

 

[c4ts]

A very important God is missing from the list. Starts with "C," ends with "thulhu."

Also, shouldn't Sex and Horror be on there too? I read they were gods in somebody's sig.

Now then, given "Pascal's Wager", that you should believe because it's dangerous not to believe, which one should I believe in, "just to be safe"?

Names are just that. It is the concept that is important.

Don't eat the menu instead of the food, Dave.

yeap, some of then are animals, some are planets, some come in a 3 in 1 package....

In the "A's" you left off "Almighty Dollar".

How dare you offend the great god Zotz, the All-Knowing, All-Seeing, Omnipotent Ruler of the Universe, by naming him with all those pretenders!!! Get upon thine knees and beg for forgiveness, foul heathen!!!

 

[Lord Kenneth]

You forgot "Dark Cobra".

But seriously... that's a lot of gods... gee golly.. I wonder which one is true...

I choose... TURMS!

Praise be Turms!!!

A very important God is missing from the list. Starts with "C," ends with "thulhu."

Also, shouldn't Sex and Horror be on there too? I read they were gods in somebody's sig.

Yes, how could you have forgotten the multi-tentacled master of the Chaosium? He wouldn't forget you

My favorite manifestation of the "master" is with a Santa hat on.

Re: Re: Gobs of Gods

But some of the concepts listed above are very, very different. At least, I think they are. I actually only recognize a very small number of them.

But, for sake of argument, one person says "God" is the spirit of their deceased ancestor that guides the person in day to day events. Another says that "God" is the force that brought about the universe, never existed in physical form, and sits in judgement of them only after they die.

I mean no offense, but to say that these are really two aspects of the same thing (at least, that is what I think you are implying) is a tad arrogant. What I mean is, who are any of us to say that a person's God is anything other than what they say it is? If I say that I worship the spirit that inhabits my computer, what authority do anyone have to say they know better than I do what it is I worship is really just a small part of something that they worship?

Just a thought.

Oh, and 'Blind IO', 'OM', 'Hogfather', 'The Unnamed Godess' and the other Discworld Gods!

 

[whitefork]

And where's our very own much beloved Logical Goddess?

All hail the omnipotent octopus:

YOU FORGOT SUMMER FUN CTHULHU.

HE'S MENACING!

And no Ed?! Heathen!

All of the above.

Got a lot of free time on your hands, Dave?

You've forgotten to Praise "Bob".


Slack upon you.

There are a lot of differences, but I think the main spirit of peoples' god(esses) beliefs are more similar than different, and that the differences are cultural more than structural (for lack of better word).

Same as it ever was....

That's something I've noticed from my own studies: there's really only a handful of different deific archetypes. There are LOTS of virgin-born, dying-and-rising-again, saviour-of-the-world deities. "Trickster" deities are some of my favorites: Bugs Bunny should be on that list.

Maybe you should join the God of the Month Club.

"Each month you will receive complete rituals of the current God &/or Goddess of the month including what (or whom) to sacrifice. (All monetary sacrifices should be sent to our Board of Directors.)"
