Who is your favorite?

I mean in religous circles. Not thinkers or philosophers like Plato etc. just religious figures from history. Who is your favorite and why?

Who is your favorite and why?

Satan - because I always go for the underdog!

Enoch has always intrigued me though - very mysterious individual

Here is mine, responding to the previous post...

Osiris because I'm obsessed with ancient Egypt and it's possible that this deity was an actual person.

Saint Otteran....

Legend has it that Saint Colomba's attempts to build a chapel on Iona were thwarted as the building was myseriously destroyed every night. A voice told Saint Colomba that the chapel could not be completed until a man was buried alive in the foundation. Obliging soul that he was, Saint Otteran volunteered for the task and was buried alive so that the chapel could be finished. Some time later, Saint Otteran, whom all had supposed to be long dead, pushed his head up out of the floor and informed the congregation that contrary to popular belief, there actually was neither a heaven nor a hell. Saint Colomba, aghast at this impertinent revelation, pushed Saint Otteran back into the ground and had him buried more securely beneath the chapel, where he remains to this day.

Or St. Jude, the patron saint of lost causes

Other than Jesus himself, John the Baptist, for preparing the way..

My favorite is the current manifestation of our Creator: the Holy Spirit.
Who reminds us to not be afraid and that we are never without help.

Jotunheimr, not really a character but I still like it
one of the Nine Worlds and the homeland of the Giants of Norse Mythology, Rock Giants and Frost Giants.

Jesus. He is Lord. And the most loving, humble and truthful Man who ever lived. I also really admire Jeremiah.

Yeah.. me too, but generally people never bet on the underdog after the match.

After Jesus I would have to say Jael. The woman meant business when spiking Sisera's head to the floor. Don't mess with a serious woman.
