I call upon God. He's the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning, and the End. He is Trinitarian in nature. He is 3 persons, 1 God. Not 3 gods...but 1 God only.
God created the universe, and there are no other Gods. He has revealed himself in the Bible.
The God of Abraham, Noah, Job, Moses and every Israelite up till today served, as well as Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Jesus ( John 20:17--Rev 3:12)-- YHWH(Jehovah) a single being mono God. The Father.-John 4:22-24

I don't see any reason at all to believe in any gods. Therefore I do not call upon any gods.
What is the purpose of your question? You will just get back a predictable list of the usual suspects from a variety of people. If you are trying to decide what god to "call upon" and you want to base that decision on either which god is most popular in an informal survey, or which one most appeals to you, then you are going about it contrary to how beliefs should be constructed: examination of valid evidence and going with what is substantiated.
Another possible motivation for such a question is that you have already decided on who your One True God (tm) is and you are just waiting for an opportunity to proselytize for it.
It is possible that you are merely curious, too, but alas, in my experience here, true curiosity is rare, as it implies a willingness to follow evidence no matter where it leads.

I would advise seeking absolution before the entire Pantheon of Punctuation gets involved.

I think it is you who should read and consider the what and why about these sorts of responses.

So you both believe in the God of the Bible but you both have very different views.
So which of you is right? And how can you be certain you are right?
All I asked is that you truly heed responses, and consider them. Is that not the very root of learning - asking questions and considering responses?

If an atheist were asking about what it means to live without God I don't chime in, because I wouldn't know and I have nothing to offer. Atheist have nothing to offer in this thread, yet here we are:
I think it is you who should read and consider the what and why about these sorts of responses.
Most atheists I know of, were made, not born. Very many come from religious backgrounds and they understand the believer's mindset.
Why should they not chime in on a topic of which they have both background and opinion? And even if no background but packing solely an opinion - what makes it invalid?
And I most certainly do read, and consider atheists' opinions - at least those whom I respect - which is most of 'em.
Funny that a bunch of atheists jumped in on this thread. Offered less than nothing.
Like going to the automotive forum and someone asks about the Ford Fusion and a bunch of Chevy guys chime in saying I love my Malibu or Impala. Ra, Ra for my side!
Sad...why do atheist do this?
The obvious running up of the Godflag to assemble the faithful for a saluting session, with plenty of thumbs -ups and rep -points for anyone making the right noises, begged us to say something different, and true, just to pre- empt that rather obvious evangelical ploy.
As I recall, when the Christians did finally turn up posting declarations of faith, we let them do it without comment. Funny that a Christian coming rather later to the thread immediately has to jump on the atheists, who now dominate on the 'religion thread by sheer dint of their better case. Why do you do this? It is rather sad.
