If you're talking specifically about the Jewish deity, I generally use "Yahweh". As that is the name ascribed to him in Jewish mythology. If you're speaking of a more general deity, I tend to use "RNG". This being the acronym for the "Random Number God".
Ahem, HaShem.
Gesundheit.
Or, if you prefer: "Yahweh bless you."
Why "number"?
"RNGesus" is the supreme deity controlling random number generators. Whether loot drops in online games, or jackpots at casinos, RNGesus determines whether you win or lose. Apostates say he's just rolling the dice, but the faithful know it's all a part of his master plan.
Aha. When tech geeks meet theology. I like it!
