None of the above

Which god(s) to pray to? Tim Mawson and others discussed this question before the project started. We could pray to the toaster god, for instance, though Tim seemed to feel it made more sense to pray as if one might be heard by a Supreme Being.

My answer, of course, is "none of the above." I've yet to read or hear about a god of men that lived up to the universe in which we live. It's difficult to reconcile omniscience and omnipotence with Jehovah, for instance.  His acts, as described in the Old Testament, are those of a tribal warlord.  He commands and blesses the activities one might expect from a band of cutthroat raiders looking for good luck omens.
