None. You left out the two you should!
ReplyDeleteVulcan. It is the logical choice. (GET IT? lololol)
ReplyDeleteYou actually, in a sense, repeated a lot of gods/goddesses by including both their Greek and Roman names (Ares/Mars, Aphrodite/Venus, Jupiter/Zeus, Hera/Juno, Artemis/Diana, Bacchus/Dionysus, Hephaestus/Vulcan, etc.). There were some minor differences, but they were basically the same...
Anyway, you want to know what I thought as I scrolled through this list? Wouldn't it be funny if this was the next unnecessary batch of new Pokemon? XD There'd be something amusing about the biggest deities in human history being reduced to annoying little pets in video games that the players keep stuffed in balls... lol
Their portrayals can even be based on those found in their religions. Imagine your character yelling, "GO! YAHWEH!," throwing a ball, and summoning a burning bush. We can call it Pokegods.
I'm so onto something here. I know it... :) XD
Oh, one last thing: I think you've subconsciously already made your choice because you listed Shiva twice. :P
Well, since Islam claims all of these gods are false, then you should follow Allah, yay!
ReplyDeleteThe answer is simple: Cthulhu
ReplyDeleteCatholic friend: "None. You left out the two you should!"
ReplyDeleteMuslim friend: "Well, since Islam claims all of these gods are false, then you should follow Allah, yay!"
What's an atheist to do?
Seriously guys, if you read this, think of it from our perspective. Two opposing claims, each issued with equal certainty and seemingly equal support (in an evidenciary sense). Both believe the other is wrong, and both believe themselves to be right.
Assuming I did not think you both to be totally wrong (which you know I do....sorry dudes) what the fuck are we supposed to do?
You both offer similar rewards and punishments. So I'm facing hell either way, and both have so called holy books chock full of written accounts said to be dictated, commanded, or instructed (etc) by the relevant deity. Both have prophets, disciples, claims of miracles, etc
How the fu-?
"The answer is simple: Cthulhu"
Ah goddam- ah, wait, yours is easily cast out of the running. Since, you know, it's openly fictitious.
"You actually, in a sense, repeated a lot of gods/goddesses by including both their Greek and Roman names...."
First off....HEY SEPH! That being said, thanks for the correction. I grabbed this list online, so the error isn't really mine.
;)
Really though, I had no idea. Tx.
"Oh, one last thing: I think you've subconsciously already made your choice because you listed Shiva twice. :P "
Well, technically it wasn;t me, as I got this list online, but I read through it all and did not catch that (clearly....).
I should change one of them to Sheeva. Head stomping multiple limbed Mortal Kombat Kombatant. Scary ass bitch!
"Ah goddam- ah, wait, yours is easily cast out of the running. Since, you know, it's openly fictitious."
ReplyDeleteLook at it this way, all of them are fake, so at least by being OPENLY fictitious, Cthulhu is more honest than any of the other nominees on your list. If you had to worship a god, wouldn't you at least want to choose the most honest one? Even if he does want to eat your soul.
Besides... it's fuckin' Cthulhu. He's like the Bruce Lee of deities.
Well, in my case, as I think I have stated before to you, I have compared the two religions and I have concluded that Islam is superior to Christianity.
ReplyDelete"I have compared the two religions and I have concluded that Islam is superior to Christianity."
ReplyDeleteFIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!
;)

If you would have said Ryu Hayabusa, you would have sold me.
