A God or Goddess who is worshiped deserves the respect of having the recognition f a proper known and as such should be capitalized.
As for the question at hand; I have to go with Ilmater, the crying god.
A deity who willingly takes on the suffering of the poor and the helpless is a deity worthy of respect and worship. [/QUOTE]I'm not actually religious, so I don't have any idea why I spell God with a capital G. Lolth is a Goddess, but doesn't willingly take on the suffering of the poor, and yet she is still worshipped by the entire drow civilisation (except Viconia, my dear mother).
As to answering my own question, I'd have to pick Cyric, anything that can kill the Lord of Murder must be worthy of respect. [/QUOTE]Actually it was Mask's avatar that killed Bhaal.
My fav is Lathander, I had alot of fun with his teachings and the doomguard in planescape (a module where one of their memebers claims to have been told to follow the doomguards because Lathander the morninglord told him so, I argued that as the Morninglord with morning as a sign of rebirth, that the entropy that the doomguard espouse as their philosophy- Haer D'alis is a member- is completely incompatible with Lathander, hehe the DM was stuck for what to do about that one... 
) [/QUOTE]"The Time of Troubles, in which the gods of the Forgotten Realms assumed mortal form and walked the Realms, started when the gods Bane and Myrkul stole the Tablets of Fate from Lord Ao, the overpower god of the Realms. In retribution for this act, Ao banished all of the gods from their outer-planar domains (except for Helm who guards the Outer-Planes). The Gods were forced to assume the forms of mortal Avatars until the end of the Time of Troubles, when the tablets were returned to their rightful owner. During the crisis, Mystra's (god of magic) and Myrkul's (god of the dead) avatars were killed, Bane (god of evil and tyranny) was destroyed fighting Torm, and the human Cyric killed Bhaal (god of murder and assassins) in an epic struggle while competing for Bane's portfolio. After the dust settles, Cyric (death, evil and madness) ascended to new godhood."
