Trapping a god.

[Wackymon]

So, your countries government has granted you unlimited funding to capture any Greek/Hebrew/Mayan/other world religion god for interrogation, if you misuse your funding, you're to be shot multiple times, and, if you succeed in your endeavor, you get whatever you want for the rest of your life.
So, the big question: How do you capture a god?

In this scenario, it's a given that the God exists?

Is there a physical place where they manifest?

...I imagine one could capture some of the old Gods... Couldn't catch Yahweh.

Simple really, place candy on the floor leading under a box propped up with a stick tied to a piece of string which you hold the end of....

 

[White Lightning]

I would probably do that.

But wouldn't a god be able to give you more than humans?
If I would capture a god, I could become immortal in exchange for his release. After that, they can shoot me as many times as they want.

You go through the Stargate, grab the nearest Goa'uld, and get out of there.

Why yes, I have been re-watching SG-1. God I miss positive sci-fi with actual heroes who triumph at the end of the day, instead of soap operas about dicks who kill other dicks for unclear reasons with bad lighting on set and a blue tint added in post production.

Edit: Bonus points, I've only seen the first season and a half, plus incidental episodes from much later in the run. So I've still got the better part of nine seasons plus spinoffs of new-to-me positive sci fi. I'll be so sad when that particular well runs dry.

Go to Mount Olympus in attack helicopters covered with rubber and armed with Iron missiles. Let's see your Zues's Lighting deal with THAT. >

I miss O'Neill.

OT: I think Acme has a product for that.

And we all know Acme is the pinnacle in safety and guaranteed-success equipment.

If I got to choose the god, I'd go after Cthulhu. I'd go to Atlantis to ask for directions to squidboy's sunken home, bringing every trident we all know Atlantis is full of. I'd skewer every squid and octopus along the way, and ask Cthulhu to choose the easy way or the hard way.
Plan B: Call Aquaman. Either I get this-

or this

Yeah, I'm gonna catch that god one way or another.

since greek gods strenght is directly linked to theri followers, and almost noone follwos them in modern world, i think it woudl be pretty easy to capture most of the greek gods, now, off to search for where their hiding.

I will just get some ketchup, make a pentagram on the floor, a candle in each end and babble random shit on random non-existing language, then start wobbling and bobbling on the floor (I think faking a seizure would be the correct term) after which I tell the people what they want to know and say only the the one who summoned the God could see and communicate with him.
As for endless material I might take something else than ketchup and candles since that might make it seem more reliable...
