If you chose to rebel against the gods, which god would you choose? What would be your criteria? Should one just rebel against all of them at once, or institute some kind of rotating schedule?
How would you go about your rebellion?
I think I would probably choose God, with his "I love you, but GO TO HELL" thing, but sometimes Ra just gets on my nerves. You?

it would be hard to rebel against something i don't believe in...
perhaps the IDEA of a god, & in that case, i'd pick the idea of the judeochristian god.

I'd rebel against the Greek or Roman gods as they would actually put up a fight and make the war more interesting. If I rebelled against God, he would just sit there and love me no matter what strikes I launched against him. If I rebelled against Buddha would try to insist that nothing I am do right now is real but that everything I AM actually doing he is doing as well because we are part of the same existence and that would just be boring.

I would rebel against any god claiming to be God of all gods if I could see or smell them. If I meet the Buddha in the road it is not THE Buddha. My favorite god to mess with is ENLIL since I found out Marduk is a messed up reincarnate Irish Ibri just like me.
Ra is not a carnate entity, lets keep it that way. But if Pastor Mike Zuberbier has any silly little prod monkeys reading this ever tell him that Zoroaster is a cat, not a primate. Theater is life, life is a joke and that's all she rote.

Nuggan. He's is one of the more powerful among the newer gods of the Discworld. He is the state god of Borogravia, but also in charge of paperclips, correct things in the right place in small desk stationery sets, and unnecessary paperwork.
That seems rather unimpressive perhaps. However, his followers can eat neither chocolate nor garlic! Due to complicated mechanisms in belief, it seems to the Nugganites that Nuggan sets a new prohibition, or abomination, every few days. The holy text of the Nugganites is held in a large ring-binder, so that new abominations can be appended as they are set forth by Nuggan. The Nugganites call it a living testament, a holy book that truly grows.
I would eat a pizza with mozarella, sun-dried tomatoes and garlic, and then some tira misu. I don't care what Nuggan does to me after that...

You can't rebel against "god". God is simply a concept, an idea. You can't rebel against an idea. You can rebel against a government, an authority, a religious institution, a state or a kingdom, even a city or a company, but sorry, you can't rebel against an idea. Is there an idea you don't like? Then don't think about it. Its that easy.

easily, the call comes from the Briton tribe, who the Romans fought. They initially called the region Albion after the white chalk cliffs at Dover. After some years, the entire island replaced into customary as Britannia (land of the Britons) on Roman maps. the present inhabitants have not something to do with the Britons, who have been pushed out by ability of the Angles and later Saxons. you want "God's chosen human beings" interior the British isles? they are herding sheep interior the Scottish highlands. Even there they are actually not Britons anymore, yet interbred with the community Picts.

So your saying if these gods existed which one/s would we rebel against? Well i would say the Christian/Catholic god due to the fact he has the "I love you, but GO TO HELL" deal, or maybe the Egyptian god Anubis just to see what would happen because he's part jackal and part human.

I hate to be trite and predictable, but the one I was raised with Catholic/Christian sucks with teeth and I would TOTALLY rebel against that wanker.
It's ok to say wanker, right? We're Americans and Brit slang seems rather wussy to us....
Or....I started reading other answers and it occurred to me that there are FAR better gods to rebel against! I guess the christian one got my vote because of personal experience.
But I'm going to change my answer to include ANY god that thinks women are second-class citizens.
Those wankers!

We're not angry at any god, we don't believe in the idea of gods. We have an absence of belief, which means we feel there is actually nothing to rebel against.

Zeus would always come and visit if people were too bad, so he's probably not the best one to rebel against.
Perhaps Hermes, he doesn't seem like he could screw with me too badly.
