I'm with Alex on this one.  I have motivating forces in my life (primarily, earning enough money to keep me from getting a 'job' job ever again), but it's a ridiculous stretch to call them 'gods'.  I don't pray to leisure time, I don't build an altar or shine to it, and I can't imagine it's going to smite me if I anger it.

Silly question, really.

That only provides fodder for the funny apologists who are all too eager to point out that atheists are no better than they because the just have different Gods. The name God comes with so much nonsensical baggage that I im strongly in favor of not using it for anything but objects of religious faith.

No, not serious, Used God to get a response. Seems to be working. Confused with random aspect statement. My random aspects are only diversions. Every asked an opiate addict what their God is?

'Cataclysmic Metronome' would be a great name for a band.

I don't have any gods in my life. If I want to live in a civilized society, money is needed for the other the other essentials like water, food, and shelter, but I don't feel I'm completely ruled by money, and don't feel the need to worship it. I don't feel the need to always think about it, and thank it for all the good that it has bestowed upon me.

Odd term to use, considering its historical baggage. Also makes me think of one of those awful New Age books by Deepak Chopa but I suppose empathy is what drives me.

I care for spending time with those I care about, seeing to their needs and making this existence as happy as possible. If you do only get one shot at this, might as well make it as comfortable for everyone as possible, leaving the world in a better condition than you found it for the next generation.

Money? Fame? Popularity? You need some of the former for now but I couldn't really give two shits about the rest, nobody is going to remember you in a few hundred or thousand years so I don't see much point working on it.
