Right, I've read lots of whinges that the forums are getting a bit stale, and lacking "new blood". Well, my blood is fairly new (forum-wise) and I've checked the forum rules and this topic appears to be allowable.
I don't follow any particular religion, but I reckon that the Hindu god, Kali could kick all other gods butts - what do you guys think?
Slurpy xxx ps do you think I'm trying to stir a bit?!!!
Hmmm, possibly, but I'm an atheist so there's no god for me- i'd have to try and kick the asses of the other gods!!
I think each to their own religion, various different gods, various different people and beliefs.

I feel all organised religion is a great big con but I don't mind Gods.

Well has anyone told Barclays Bank about all these other Gods??
I like this one ...
God... is a state of mind that creates peace for me.

Well, we need to sort this our Harry Hill style... "FIGHT"
Hmm that would make an excellent computer game, lots of Gods fighting it out, although it would offend rather a lot of people. Perhaps Salmon Rushdie could do the advert.
The best God is Inti as the Incas called it, or Ra as the ancient Egyptians used to know it.
Imagine without the Sun we're all fucked and there would be no Pradas, labradors, dogs, Homer, Jean Seams, atheists, Kali, etc... sweet FA basically.
So we'd better start praying to the Sun God to keep us alive for a few million years more.

Someone much wiser than I suggested that it doesn't really matter whether there is or isn't a God. If there is one, she can look after herself. Our job is to look after each other.
The word good and god are the same in old Saxon, so lets all be gods and be good. Good at what ever we do.
Lets be good gods.
Some really excellent answers here - some daft, some quite profound. Imo, most religions these days are just bastardized corruptions of what they were originally intended to accomplish ie a control over the populace, based on the "do what we say and you'll be rewarded in the afterlife" or the "don't do what we say and you'll be punished". My game plan is a life of vice, then a last minute death-bed repentance.
On the subject of Homer Simpson as a god I quite agree - in a few thousand years time humans may be taking the blood of homer (Duff beer) and breaking a doughnut! Can anyone tell me why the Pagan Alliance are so pissed at the Cerne Abbas thingy??
