What if god was one of us?

An entertaining take on the major hindu deities. Hindu calendar art meets Stan Lee. Nicely done, and defended by the designer - especially if you understand the simplistic, anti-plural, homogenizing viewpoint of Hindu fundamentalists (oh, the irony! - that this aberration should appear in a religion of 330 million gods). (the screensavers are nicer than the T-shirts.)

It's a good thing that disagreements about world religion are not solved by a God vs. God battle to the death.

I can't think of a single deity that could go four rounds in a cage match with Ganesh and come out in one piece.

They would probably have to reincarnate several times to come back in a form that is capable of taking him down. Go Ganesh!

His ads: have run in 35 countries, helped elect prime ministers, attracted the ire of the lawyers for Dolly the clone sheep, drawn an angry crowd in Lagos, have been studied in business texts in Canada and India and received derisive mention in a John Irving novel.

He cannot: sing.
