KNEEL HERETICS! LEST THE EMPEROR JUDGE YE UNWORTHY!
ONLY HE CAN SAVE HUMANITY FROM THE CORRUPTION OF CHAOS!
/largeham
ALL GLORY FOR KHORNE! ALL SERVE THE MIGHTY KHORNE! EVEN YOUR PATHETIC EMPEROR OF MAN LENDS HIS STRENGTH TO THE EVER LASTING SLAUGHTER!
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
Nurgle is the most powerful god. He's the god of entropy, of disease and decay. Decay is a universal constant, a part of everything in existence. You can't get much more universal or future-proofed than that.
That said, I've been playing lots of Pillars of Eternity lately so I really like Nurgle's counterpart in that, Rymrgand. What an awesome name, Rymrgand.

You make a great point, but what has Thor done lately? That's why I worship Nurgle. He's still getting shit done.Eddie the head said:

Shiva.
Lord lives a top of the Himalayas, once drank an ocean or sea filled with poison to save everyone causing his throat to turn blue, is the husband of Parvati (who is the sister of arguably what is hinduism's most important river, Ganga, heck the river only came down to earth by letting it flow from Shiva's hair), has THE king of snake's as his companion and gently coils around his neck named Vasuki, has a dance that causes destruction whenever he pleases and well, worshipping him has no set rituals and the like, arguably the most egalitarian God in the entire religion and well and he smokes ganja of a chillum on top of the himalayas. Also, Shiva makes a lot of mistakes but actually learns from em unlike the stories of most god-like entities.
Arguably the coolest and most interesting story of a God ever told.

I'm noticing a distinct lack of Azathoth faith on this thread.
Look, I'm not saying that when the Dead Gods return, you're all going to perish in a hell of tentacles and teeth, but...ok I am saying that. You should probably jump on the Eldritch bandwagon time now.

As a spiritually weak person, I find this thread a spinning singularity of mind melting confusion that brings only pure hysteria, aghh!...oh!...ehh..ugh...*eye twitch*

I think it's gone now. But it definately tickled.

Actually, since all of the deities mentioned demand universal worship and none of them gets it, and the resulting situation thus causes constant religious discord, it's only logical to assume, that if a supreme deity indeed exists and has any interest in humanity, it's most likely Eris.
I mean come on, people, it's only logical.

Azathoth was my vote, but only because the Flying Spaghetti Monster wasn't on the poll.
Then I realized that there is a far mightier Deity that no one here has mentioned.

Thor for me, at least he descend to us meer mortal eventhought he used that time to fight supervillains and hanging out with the heroes. I'm kind of suprised there is no cult or rather a incomic religon toward the Nordic gods in the comics.
Andraste?s breath! You left the Maker out of the poll! The Inquisition shall crush you for this heresy!
outside of my own religious affiliations I'm quite fond of three types of gods
The first is as follows
"This is a god whom ye knew not, for mankind forgot it. We name it by its name Abraxas. It is more indefinite still than god and devil.
That god may be distinguished from it, we name god Helios or Sun. Abraxas is effect. Nothing standeth opposed to it but the ineffective; hence its effective nature freely unfoldeth itself. The ineffective is not, therefore resisteth not. Abraxas standeth above the sun and above the devil. It is improbable probability, unreal reality. Had the pleroma a being, Abraxas would be its manifestation. It is the effective itself, not any particular effect, but effect in general.
It is unreal reality, because it hath no definite effect.
It is also creatura, because it is distinct from the pleroma.
The sun hath a definite effect, and so hath the devil. Wherefore do they appear to us more effective than indefinite Abraxas.
It is force, duration, change.
The dead now raised a great tumult, for they were Christians."
Gods of chaos
and of course
How is that sexist.
I mean I understand that it's lewd, ribald or what have you but that doesn't necessarily carry over into sexism or the more adequate term Chauvinistic.
neither does it really make sense but I tend to be a bit dense.

Ladies and gents, my first sexist comment. I am learning.

I... I was just messing about with the "sexist" bit because there seems to be a trend in just calling anything "sexist". Observational humour. Its not meant to be super serious.cleric of the order said:Uh.Parasondox said:The one between a woman's legs.

Joke dead.
Well, in my humble opinion, no god is best god. We chart our own course and we live on in the legacy we leave others, yadda yadda.
That said, from a cultural point of view, I'm an Chtulhu Mythos-slash-Lovecraft's Extended Circle diehard. So Azathoth for the win, even if my personal opinion would have to steer towards Nyarlathotep.
From an anthropological perspective, however, I'd nominate Aten, for being an interesting monotheistic approach in the otherwise uninterrupted sequence of Ancient Egypt's polytheistic structure.

Is it toomuch to hope that Yahweh is like this? I'll add Lil'D and Buddha from Sinfest in here? I have but one response...Basement Cat said:Azathoth was my vote, but only because the Flying Spaghetti Monster wasn't on the poll.

I forgot how to add pictures. Please help.
No worries, I tend to be a bit literal and shit tends to fly over my head all the time.Parasondox said:
Also It'd be funnier if I didn't meet people that suggested roughly that lewd = sexism, no seriously.
Poes law and the like
Sorry about the confusion dude
