Crazy Fool

preface: lets open the mighty gates to the cosmos and mythology. Consider the great list of all the religions that have existed, think of all the stories that have been told throughout the aeons, spanning all cultures... really give this one some thought.

who do you choose?

lets break it down a bit: the general options you've got are:

Cosmos Gods (sun, moon, sky, day, night, creator...)
Chthonic Gods ( earth, water, weather, underworld...)
Human-sphere Gods (War, justice, peace, love...)

I'll allow demi-gods too, but you've got to admit your imagination could use some work...

some references for you:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_mythology

be creative, link interesting myths and stories associated with your choice, and if you're going to call out another person's god, you better have a rational argument for why your choice clearly dominates.

No Life

Krishna is my god for sure lets just look at a few examples of why he is the most badass ever.

"On his return to Mathura as a young man, Krishna overthrew and killed his uncle, Kamsa, after avoiding several assassination attempts from Kamsa's followers. He reinstated Kansa's father, Ugrasena, as the king of the Yadavas and became a leading prince at the court"

He didn't take the crown for himself but restored it to its rightful owner

"Krishna subsequently married 16,100 maidens who were being held in captivity by demon Narakasura, to save their honor. Krishna killed the demon and released them all."

That's a lot of pussy right there.

"Once battle seemed inevitable, Krishna offered both sides the opportunity to choose between having either his army or simply himself alone, but on the condition that he personally would not raise any weapon. Arjuna, on behalf of the Pandavas, chose to have Krishna on their side, and Duryodhana, chief of the Kauravas, chose Krishna's army."

I wonder which side wins, ohh yeah the side that chooses JUST KRISHNA as opposed to an entire army. He also gives a speech to Arjuna comforting him on the fact that they're about to slaughter most of Arjuna's family who are fighting on the other side by telling him that they're going to die eventually so why does it matter if he kills them now.

Ohh yeah and did I mention that he's blue and that he's Jesus's gay lover?
