To Christians here, what other gods have you learned about that you find interesting? Keep in mind that this thread is NOT some kind of trap. I'm genuinely interested in what other gods pique your interest, for whatever reason. I'm not asking in the sense that you actually believe in this other god, but only in the sense that you found this god to be interesting to learn about, whether it's because the god was benevolent, particularly violent, intelligent, strange, etc.
I've always found Hercules to be interesting, because he's between being man and god. The TV shows and movies don't do his mythology justice; they mainly focus on the superhero aspects of his character. I found the 12 Labors of Hercules to be pretty fascinating.

Odysseus is probably my favorite.
Originally posted by SuzianneInterestingly, and I hope you'll forgive me for pointing it out, Odysseus's main 'superpower' according to his Homeric exploits appears to be the ability to lie effectively. Just sayin'...

Originally posted by vivifyI am not a Christian, but I think one worthy use of the term 'God' would be with a Gaian Pantheism.

None.

What other god/gods could be more interesting than the God of the universe, the Holy one of Israel? None.
Originally posted by FMFYes there are other "gods" that have come down throughout history, they are more of an object of worship than anything else... idols and dead at that. If the definition in the OP for God is the creator, master, etc... there is only one and no others.
Human history is replete with gods. We humans have probably forgotten all about far more gods that we dreamed up down through the millennia than the number we have managed to record in our history books.
