50. Kermit

The God Kermit is loved and revered by The Limrek

Kermit is a popular green frog feature on the Muppet Show. He is followed by a group of folk known as The Limrek who worship him by painting themselves entirely green (except for their bodies) and lighting candles in obscure places (e.g. a clown’s cellar or the back of a tree).

49. Origain

The God Origain is loved and revered by The Gribblers

Origain is the god of folding paper. Unfortunately, when filling in the official godly forms determining how he would like the art of folding paper to be known there was a ‘clerical error’ and it became known as Origami. Bit crap from his point of view, but then it just goes to show how important a neat hand and a good eye for proofreading can be.

In order to become a Gribbler one must be able to ‘freestyle fold’ i.e. make any object from a sheet of A4 paper at will.

48. Bleft

The God Bleft is loved and revered by The Bruboum

The Bruboum have had many Gods in their time, the latest of which is Bleft.

Bleft was selected as a god after a period in training with Hinduism. It became clear after a few centuries however that promotion was unlikely and so, he sent his CV around potential followings. The Bruboum (known locally as ‘god sluts’) picked him up as their 4th God in as many years, though Bleft has been able to stay the course – 10 years at the time of writing. This is largely due to his wonderful flapjacks.

47. Proper

The God Proper is loved and revered by The Slingg

Proper is one of a new breed of ‘anti-Gods’. This is not to say he is evil, or in league with Lucifer in any way, but more that he serves his followers rather than the other way round. This is still done however with the view that Proper is very much in charge, a fact which leads most followers to do so ironically – like a grown man wearing a Telltubbies t-shirt, or a gay man wearing leg-warmers.

The concept hasn’t taken off hugely, and is thought by many to be silly.

46. Acopol

The God Acopol is loved and revered by The Polacs

With an influx of celebrity reality shows it was only a matter of time before ‘It’s A God Knockout appeared on our screens. As you well know Acopol was victorious in the first series showing particular skill in jousting and climbing based events.

His supporters, the Polacs, were well known for their velvet outfits during that show, a characteristic that endures beyond the supporters gallery. Due to growing popularity in the ranks, The Polacs now farm velvet (as well as sugar snap peas) to keep up with demand.

45. Phling

The God Phling is loved and revered by The Derts

Ever since the winter of 4, Phling has had an out-of-office reply on his personal email, thus making him unobtainable. This means The Derts have little to go on in terms of spiritual enlightenment as they mill about the planet leading many of them to consider switching allegiance and/or a life of criminal debauchery.

44. Quigg

The God Quigg is loved and revered by The Groopeeze

Quigg rose to prominence after inventing the flume, a feat which garnered him a huge amount of press attention. During this time he required a large press office to cope with the dual pressures of flume exploration and Godly pursuits. This press office grew and grew and grew until it became clear that it was now an extension of Quigg’s religion and thus, The Groopeeze were born (this was, after all, the 80s).

43. Ornitope

The God Ornitope is loved and revered by The Limpole

The Limpole are well loved far and wide as their religious ceremonies are entirely based around the creation of high quality dining experiences. This requires diners (anywhere from candlelit dinners for 2 to feasts for huge crowds) to do properly and so inividuals from all walks of life who are lucky enough to know a Limpole are extremely well fed.

Due to these associations Ornithope has been approached to release his own cookbook but is currently busy working out how to hook up his TV to his stereo to achieve surround sound.

42. Durk

The God Durk is loved and revered by The Quadricos

There is no information on Durk, other than a recurring rumour that joining The Quadricos can get you 10% off in Comet. This is unsubstantiated but more information may be acquired from a current Quadrico who can be identified by long hair, short trousers and a large collection of AA batteries.

41. Menedes

The God Menedes is loved and revered by everyone

Being loved by everyone is no easy task, but Menedes has managed it.

Initially part of a bet, Menedes set out to see how many people he could get to follow him in order to win a lifetime’s worth of cantaloupe melon. Using a number of tactics including adverts in phone boxes, cold calling individuals at their place of work and begging, Menedes managed to get over 80% of the population of the universe to sign a declaration saying that they would follow him.

The final 20% were mopped up by morphing into a puppy because come on, who doesn’t love puppies?
