Let's see here. I interpret this question to mean that I am adding a person to the Roman pantheon, which rules out someone like Romulus who's already in. And I want it to be someone who is both a great man and would help bring Florida and other nearby areas under Jupiter's rule. Therefore:

I think I'd have to say Andrew Jackson. Great general, great president, and he's on the $20 bill. And a large city in Florida is named after him. Therefore, Andrew Jackson would be a tremendous asset to the Roman pantheon.

The word worship has dropped out of my vocabulary many years ago.

I would say nobody, not even God.
Certainly not Yahweh nor Jesus.

Jesus had weird ideas that people were possessed.
Jesus also thought that sick people were sick because they were sinners. He also believed that children should "fill up with the guilt of their parents" for something which they had nothing to do with. Jesus also said that if a man divorces his wife and marries another he is commiting adultery. I can go on but you get the message.

Yahweh ordered the murder of innocent people (Amalekites) for something that happened 400 years before.

Like father like son.

People who need to worship will worship anyting, even the devil.

When I try to worship someone I start reading about them. I read everything I can find and eventually find that even though they have excelled in some area they are human just like me. Then I become disillusioned, start doubting myself and begin thinking that there is no point to life, I start questioning reality and begin wondering how something could come from nothing......

Well, not really but I don't think I will go there.

The last thing we need is another religion. particularly one based upon worship of a specific entity. I would decline the opportunity.
