No thanks. There is no other god than that of YAWHEH - Jehovah.

It represents Asclepius, the greek god of medicine and healing (or health). Hence the snake in the W.H.O logo.

My two favorites are Coatlicue and Tlaloc.  There is a huge sculpture of Coatlicue in the Museo Nacional de Antropologia in Mexico City.  Her face is made from 2 rattlesnakes facing each other so it looks like just one face.  Her necklace is sculpted to look like alternating human hands and hearts, with a human skull hanging down at the end!  Not only is she great and scarey looking, but her history is cool as well (she is the mother of Huitzilopochtli, the "Aztec" god of war, as well as his sister Coyolxauhqui).  I would DEFINITLY pick her if I had to do a project on one.\n\nTlaloc the rain god might be my second choice.  You can usually spot him because he has rings around his eyes that look like "googles".  Children were sacrificed in his honor.  The "Aztecs" believed that the more the kids cried on their way up the pyramid to be sacrificed, the more abundant the rain would be!\n\nTry looking up those two names here on Yahoo!  There should be lots of neat sites about them.

The 'nagmani' or 'snake's gem' is a myth prevalent in rural India - that when a pebble or stone accidentally gets into a king cobra's mouth and pierces its way into one of its poison glands, the snake's poison forms a thick layer around the stone and solidifies as a protective coat to prevent the stone from further damaging the snake's mouth. [The myth must have been based on how a pearl is formed within an oyster !]\nThis 'stone' was rated as having a rare gem-like quality - with allegedly miraculous healing powers. It was also supposed to bring good luck to those who owned, or wore them !\n...Several Indian folk tales, from various regions, relate how brave young men [usually princes] went in search of the snake-gems - and returned with a beautiful princess as well, for a 'bonus'. \n...But no such 'gems' are formed in reality - though even now there are con-men [and women !] who sell such fakes to simpletons, who are still willing to believe in these tall tales !

Why is a serpent used to incite Eve to eat \n>from the forbidden tree in the biblical tale ?\n\nWhy NOT?\n\n\n>Why is the serpent the one who incited Eve to eat \n>from the forbidden tree? \n\nWhy NOT?\n\n>and what does the serpent symbolise? \n>in many civilizations the serpent was depicted as a deity \n>symbol as the egyptian and sumerican civilizations , \n>what was the reality behind the serpent symbol \n>in the garden of Eden? \n\nCould it be the same, the Deceiver? The one who deceived them in the Garden of Eden and the one who got the Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations to worship him as Deity?  Isn't that what he always wants? To be "like god"?

There were "a thousand gods" or, in some translation, a thousand names of God.  Generally there were a fetility/agricultural god and his wife/goddess in each town with different names, but recognized as cognates.  Kumerbi was the father-god, like Chaos in Rome, but was through myth defeated by Anus, something like Zeus or Jove.  My favorite is Hannahanna, the Mother God.

If you pray to Avalokiteshvara you would most likely be a Mahayana Buddhist.  I am not sure you could be a lot more specific than that.  He is one of the most, if not THE most, popular bodhisattvas around the Buddhist world.  You are most likely some sort of Chinese Buddhist since it is the Chinese name for him.  You might also like cross-dressing.  (He always looks so much like a woman =)  ).

That reminds me of one of the ancient mythologie (greek, I think) called the Ouroboros---the snake eating its own tail.  No end, no beginning.    Good point on the "circular arguments".....
