Actually, not that many gods are awe inspiring. What about the 'god with backward feet', or the 'two-faced eater of filth'. I imagine most peoples have considered christ rather bland when they first encounter him. Pale, weak and impaled on a crucifix. Not very impressive

I once found this hilarious piece of text:

Quote:
CHALCHIUHTOTOLIN: God of Pestilence. He is the Precious Night Turkey and a God of Mystery.

It is a mystery we have been unable to unravel. There is a picture of him in the Codex Borbonias that is so utterly weird it must be seen to be disbelieved. In the midst of seemingly undecipherable symbols he is dressed in a turkey suit and seems to be vomiting into a large pot.

We may need to come back to this later, but not without a stiff drink or two first.

I can't stop cracking up at this.
