I don't think it means what you guys think it means.  Its a pretty archaic term.

I'm trying to find it's archaic term, but all I'm getting is "devout; pious". Maybe fear meant awareness as opposed to, you know, fear?

IIRC, it's a reflection on the way that ancient Greek grammar influenced Aramaic parables.

I think I either just rolled a natural 20 or a natural 1 on a knowledge (history) check.

Either way, I just rolled a 20 on my Check (giant nerd) ability. I found one!

I can see why the christian god is afraid of atheists, he's a huge pussy.

Zeus would screw that pussy so hard "god" would try and get gay sex made immoral.  :P

Zeus: The god that fucking floods your entire town if you aren't nice to strangers.

Is that a reference to some old mythological story?

Look, if you can't come up with one good example of the Christian God kicking ass, you lose this competition.

Well, God's kicked humanity's ass... alot.

The Devil and all his demons, like Mephistopheles, have done some pretty awesome things in folklore.

My favorite are the Faust legends and Lord of the Flies, though I'm not sure if that counts.

Screw Zeus, the Mayan gods destroy the world every time they get bored, this is the fifth one and they are probably going to destroy it to just for the hell of it.

Also, the Mayans had the coolest fucking demons ever. There was this one called Vucub Caquix, a gigantic bird-demon that imitated the sun and moon and ruled over a world of eternal twilight. He got killed by some Hero Twins, eventually. This was before the current world was created. It's all in the Popol Vuh.

Vucub Caquix means Seven Macaw. Both of those names sound awesome. If I ever need a code name for something, it'll be Seven Macaw.

Correction: this is the fifth one on the current release.

What's the culture whose afterlife was just their Underworld god hitting them in the head with a giant hammer for all eternity?
