We all know that Lawrence llewelyn Bowen is Lawrence llewelyn Bowen is my god's god.
But who is your god?
Is it William Shatner? Porkpie out of Desmonds? Or maybe Dean Gaffney (Robbie from eastenders)?

Who "god"ammit is your god?

I bow down only before the Lord Ganesh.

I'm also a big fan of the Buddha, whom the Hindus think is the ninth incarnation of Vishnu.

And, as a gay man, and to balance the sexes a bit, I am contractually obliged to worship the Holy Trinity: Kylie, Madonna and (my namesake) Cher.

Jimmy Rabbite of The Committments my God as a teenager. I would say I have a God shaped hole in my life, but that sounds like a NIN song.

Sad to say, Trent Reznor was an obsession of mine for several years and held demigod status in my private pantheon. But then I got old and he got repetitive.

This'll be no surprise to anyone, but I'd have to say Bruce Campbell.

Griblet.

Beth Gibbons.

Hmm, it should really be a trinity shouldn't it? I'll have to think about that one...
(And as well as Ganesh we also once had a Dayglo Indian Goddess round here, wonder what happened to her? )

I fell guilty because it's not a religious or intellectual martyr, though his career was somewhat thwarted by accountants. Chuck Yeager. He had balls of titanium.

Artemis/Demeter/Hecate/Moon goddess combo (Three goddesses for the price of one!), Cernunnos, Bacchus and Vulcan.

Oh, and Tony Stamp from The Bill. My hero/God/dreamlover.

Actually, can I add Bill Hicks to my Bruce Campbell deity? A kind of Hicks/Campbell compound entity would DEFINITELY be worth worshipping.

Wes Anderson & the Wilson brothers, and Mark Mothersbaugh and Bill Murray.

Okay, yes, I'm listening to the Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack. But Bill Murray is definitely on the pantheon. Bill Murray, Steve Martin, Gene Wilder and Madeline Kahn. And Firestar and the Wonder Twins, and Captain Caveman as a sort of Pan. And Jane's Addiction as a whole, but not any individual members, especially not Peri Ferrel. Maybe Ferrel as the dark goofy prince of evil.

Is there a god of math? I could use some help.

Tom Waits, Warren Ellis (the violin one) and Charles Mingus. Musically-speaking, anyway. Blixa Bargeld is probably in there somewhere, too.

Me.

No, this isn't an ego-trip, anymore than any straight answer to that question could be. But there is only one entity of whom I'm certain has control over my life, and that's me. Which is not to say that I don't believe there's something larger than me, but simultaneously I recognize that any such idea is elementary and is impossible to answer by its very nature. So, while I don't engage in any outright self-worship (except maybe in the shower... ahem...), the only answer for which I can be sure is me.

Now, the more pertinent question is WHICH me. Now that's a stumper.

Oh, okay, if you want to know who I idolize, I'd say Morrison's high up there, but also in the field of comics people like Chris Ware and Evan Dorkin and Alan Moore. Musically, Lennon (natch), Billy Corgan, Danny Elfman, Maynard James Keenan, and so on. Writers (prose) include Doug Rushkoff, RAW, CS Lewis (in his less overtly preachy moments), Stanislaw Lem, Vonnegut and so on.

I can do this all day. The sincere and heartfelt answer is the original one.

I worship myself, and my body is my temple. I think Jesus must have trashed it when he kicked out the tradesmen though.

Bill Hicks, he what said the funny jokes and Tim Smith, he what did done the singing and playing and writing of songs for Cardiacs.

According to my t-shirt, SATAN is my god. He's not really though, he's just a bit of a laugh.

My god is a twisted combination of Alan Moore, The Fonz, Nic Endo and William Burroughs..

..I call it - MOFONENDBURZ!

Hecate, goddess of the crossroads, leave a present at your local converging of the ways for everlasting allegiance.

You.

You are all avatars and incarnations of some facet of my God.

gridley has the best answer so far.

I just call It "God."

Kokopelli. Depending on the source he's God of music, fertility, mischief, and mayhem. I think of him as bringing chaos; from which all things arise. Akin to Loki or Coyote.

Ram Das and Buddha are way up there also.

Odin.

Norse Pantheon all the way... well, mostly.
Ganesh features now, as do a few others inspired by this very board.

S'alright ZoCher, I once had a big poster of Trent Reznor opposite Kate Bush as my God and Goddess in wankier days. Though I've lapsed somewhat in faith in recent years.
