Answer 1

Krishna, the very name Krishna literally means the ALL ATTRACTIVE PERSONALITY of GODHEAD.

Answer 2

Some names you mentioned are not deity's but manifestation's of God.

like example Jesus ..Allah...



Firstly we must understand the defination of a deity...

de·ity (dē′ə tē)

noun

the state of being a god; divine nature; godhood

pl. deities -·ties a god or goddess

Origin: ME deite < OFr deité < LL(Ec) deitas, divinity

de·ity



mani·fes·ta·tion (man′ə fes tā′s̸hən, -fəs-)



noun



a manifesting or being manifested

something that manifests or is manifested: his smile was a manifestation of joy

a form in which a being manifests itself or is thought to manifest itself, esp. the material or bodily form of a spirit



Ok now.



deity is man made idea of God a representation of God.

He is worshipped due to a believe he has powers of due to legends.



and as such a deity cannot be construed as God .. simple..... how can a Creator be made his own creation.He is far beyond the understanding and comprehension of human nature.

On the other hand

A manifestion is a messenger of God sent down by God with a Holy book like the ible..the Koran.. the manifestation is the Holy spirit of the Spritual world and has knoweldge of all things.



As for me it is not which is my favourite deity or manifestation but the fact that religion is progressive and God's hands are not tied we do not dictate we like this religion or that or we like it this way or that. It is He who decides ... He has given us a brain to understand think and learn

So we have to investigate and search for the truth without being bais or prejudice.To live on a intelligent and preserving basis and do all for the sake of God and for the love of God.

As for me Prophet Baha'u'llah is the prophet of the new Era.





just for your knoweldge.

Answer 3

Odin, i myself believe in the Norse Religion, Odin is the all-father of all Gods, and is the ruler of Asgard.

Answer 4

allow me to include who happen to be my favorite two...

though seemingly not fortunate enough to have been included on your list,

i shall list them below:



both heralding from Greek Mythology,

since a child i've been inexplicably drawn to the stories

of the one called Persephone...

and the one called Asterion, or more recognizably...the Minotaur.



these two deities share a similarity in that they have,

through no fault of their own, but rather of "fate"...

have been each dealt a huge hand of misfortune; neither

of them deserving of such treatment which reeked of injustice and unfairness.....

the circumstances they each independently encountered

were in stride accepted, and persevered through.



(Persephone with her abduction and imprisonment in Hades,

caused by having been tricked into tasting a pinch's worth of pomegranate seeds.....

and the Minotaur having been born as a result of greed and lies..a life casualty to

the times before he arrived...and a life unwanted and despised because it was a

hybrid; was ostracized and forced to take solace in the silent walls of the labyrinth under the

castle of Knossos in Crete.

Answer 5

The Divine Gaius Julius Caesar because he was divine darling.

Answer 6

None of the Above.



I follow Dumbledore. Though physically dead, his spirit goes on and empowers many at Hogwarts school for witchcraft and wizardry

Answer 7

Definitely Zeus, He would sleep with goddesses. And sleep with the non believer's wives, Now If you walk in your bedroom and see a god Fu*king your wife you are sure as hell to believe he exists

Answer 8

Enki and Ea are the same being, just wanted to point that out. A lot of these names correspond to the same being...

Answer 9

The Dagda, who isn't even on your list. I like him because he represents fertility and abundance. That, and the Tuatha De Dannan were just cool.

Answer 10

Krishna --- got between two opposing armies and told them what life is all about.

Answer 11

now thats not nice.



the only real god is not in there: his mighty noodliness, the great FSM (Sauce be upon him)



i like him the best cause he gives us beer and strippers
