Favorite Deities?

What are people's favorite deities? and why?

Buddha - (not a real deity as such) His philosophies and ideals of enlightenment and peace are flawless.
Bacchus/ Dionysus- The Roman/Greek god of wine... need I say more.
Bast - Egyptian cat goddess (thanks to her, all cats were sacred in Ancient Egypt). .........
Satan - I know it's obvious, but (whatever you want to call him) it's the devil himself:
"Keeping Christians on their toes since the dawn of time."
-
Nurgle (the fictional Chaos god from Warhammer and Warhammer 40'000) - God of decay, bringer of plagues and pestilence. There is an unavoidable philosophy of decay that I think is cool... all things must rot.

There's probably more, but that's enough for now methinks. Anyone here a fan of Hecate (Greek goddess of the Underworld and witchcraft)?...

I am a fan of all ancent egyptian deities especially Bastet and Anubis.

For me, Odin and Thor. Odin coz he's wise, has two messenger Ravens called Hugin and Munin, an eight-legged horse called Sleipnir, and is the All-father, Thor coz he's the archetypal hero and has lots of adventures, ( and his hammer is part boomerang and flies back to his hand if thrown). Both have character flaws, and both make mistakes - very "Human" qualities - which I find endearing.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster, Because he was used to stick it to stupid people trying to force religion on kids who don't know better then to believe all they are told.
