I don't see any reason at all to believe in any gods. Therefore I do not call upon any gods.

What is the purpose of your question? You will just get back a predictable list of the usual suspects from a variety of people. If you are trying to decide what god to "call upon" and you want to base that decision on either which god is most popular in an informal survey, or which one most appeals to you, then you are going about it contrary to how beliefs should be constructed: examination of valid evidence and going with what is substantiated.

Another possible motivation for such a question is that you have already decided on who your One True God (tm) is and you are just waiting for an opportunity to proselytize for it.

It is possible that you are merely curious, too, but alas, in my experience here, true curiosity is rare, as it implies a willingness to follow evidence no matter where it leads.

I call upon the God of Commas ... who is now very angry with you for misusing the comma multiple times in a very short sentence.

I would advise seeking absolution before the entire Pantheon of Punctuation gets involved.

I don't call on God.

But I'll often listen, especially in the quiet of night, in case s/he/it may be trying to get my attention.

So far, Random Factors has done by me pretty well....Mind, I don't 'call on it' so much as let it sometimes say 'No' or later - pretty much the same results as if I called on my cat. But - well i'm here and managing, which is a lot more than some with Other Gods could say - and, if I wasn't here and managing, then I wouldn't be here to able to say I'd been let down.

He was so much better when he was with Judas Priest.
