    i'm talking old school, like Norse, Roman(Etruscan), Greek, Egyptian, Japanese, or others.

    and who is your favorite god.

    I guess mine would be the Roman, Vulcan.

    Greek mythology.

    As for my top God I'm gonna have to go for the destroyer of the titans and seducer of human females, the king of the Greek Gods, Zeus. Shocking choice I know.

    Well I mean yeah, but Zeus is so overdone... and if were on the subject of seducing women, Ramesses II. He had over 100 wives/concubines and almost 200 children. and technically pharaohs are considered gods

    Odin or Thor(but I'm leaning towards Odin because of the latest version of "Thor" if you can even call him that)

    Tonatiuh, and Huitzilopochtli, are way better. I never expected you to like the god of seasons and disease.

    The Roman pantheon is pretty awesome, and includes several others as well. As for my favourite god, well, I couldn't really say. Maybe Poseidon/Neptunus, he was pretty awesome. Vulcanus is a badass as well. Wasn't he also married to Venus? I mean, she's sleeping with basically everyone anyway, but still...

    Tyr. Although usually overshadowed by his fellow Norse god Thor, quite unjustifiably in my opinion, he was the only one with the balls to stick his hand into the jaws of Fenrir the wolf.

    I would have to say my favorite religion was the one I created on Minecraft. With a god for mining, water, lava, ghouls, and cutting down trees.

    In Sweden, you'd be able to make that a real religion.

    Sounds like a pretty "standard" animist-like religion, really. Don't know the exact name for it, though.

    Odin obviously.
    I'd like to say Horus as well.
