Top God

Since man first looked around and thought, i wonder how all this got here? they have been thinking up Deities to try and explain it and then convince each other that this one is the 100%, absolutely guaranteed right one and on most occasions in their zeal to prove their God is the most loving and peaceful they have slaughtered and massacred believers of other Gods, in a loving and peaceful way of course.
The people at GodChecker have a list of pretty much every Supreme Being that has tried to persuade it's followers that the Big Bang never happened and the Earth was actually made by them a few thousand years ago so they could now stop believing all the overwhelming mass of scientific evidence about evolution and the creation of the Universe but of the 4000+ Gods, who are the ones at the top of the Holy Hit Parade?
In a Top of the Pop's countdown voice with less Led Zeppelin music and more Angelic choir, here are the Top 10 Gods and at 10 we have the Slavic Chernobog who lists his hobbies as being the Lord of Evil and causing calamity, disaster, bad luck and misfortune wherever he turns.
At 9 is Yoruba Godess Oya and when she isn't controlling the weather, she likes to spend her time overlooking funerals and lung disease and she is joined in the top 10 by another Yoruban, Obtala who is teetotal after the whole getting rip snorting drunk and missing out on creating the World, but he did get to create men and women so you can blame him for Piers Morgan.
He may be the top banana in Norse Mythology but Odin is at number 7 in the list who, when he isn't out riding his eight legged stallion, is kept up to date with Earthly goings on by his two ravens and his son Thor may have an impressive hammer but it isn't as good as the one weidled by the God at number 6, the Chinese God Monkey who has the one used to flatten the bed of the Milky Way and uses to give a headache to any demon stupid enough to get in its way.
Top 5 and at 5 it's the Greek Tithonus who went from being a mere mortal to marrying the Godess Eos before being turned into a Cicada by Zeus so that must have been an exciting couple of weeks for him and Norse God of mayem Loki may have a TV Series but was last seen having serpents venom dripped on him in a cavern where he is tied up with his sons entrails.
Yoruba God Shango is many things, god of thunder and war mainly, but he is also known to play drums on the clouds and does like a spot of dancing so a bit like Keith Moon is many respects and just missing out is The Yoruban Orishas who are not one God but more of a cocktail of 1,700 Gods who got together to run the Earth but had to hand it over to someone else after 16 days as they realised they didn't have a clue what to do with it.
At the top of the God Charts, the Numero Uno, crème de la crème pre-eminent God is the Norse Warrior and head Valkyrie, Freya. She is a love Goddess who loves soft music, flowers and going at it like a rabbit with dwarfs, other Gods, mortals and giants if those rumours are to be believed and if you die on a battlefield you could find out yourself because she gets first pick of any slain warriors to go to her palace for...let's call it recuperation.
Special mention to my personal favourite, Voodoo God Baron Samedi, who is just outside the Top 10 because who doesn't love a rum drinking, cigar smoking skeleton in a top hat and a black tailcoat wearing dark sunglasses.
