minor typo but it should say "he scratches his chin as he thinks" not "she scratches his chin as he thinks"when you ask for help tracking melissa. As I said, minor typo but I am fairly confident it was not intended. On another note, I feel like this quest with the nuns is a bit off, some denominations of Christianity may assume pagan gods are all demons, Personally I believe that they either do not exist at all or they are spirits, a spirit can have great power depending but will never truly be god. Demons would be an evil type of spirit but there are others also including angels. What do you think demons are according to Christianity? They are fallen angels, thus if the demons of Christianity exist, logically so must the angels. Even still, some angels are more or less neutral in the struggle between good and evil, they serve to fulfill an important role that can not be jeopardized by involvement. These "neutral angels" are practically the definition of a spirit. Basically, they may not be evil, just not worthy of worship.
Thanks for letting me know about the typo, I've fixed it for the next update

As for the view of the nuns that the Olympian gods are demons, I am referring to the practice of

; Christians have - since the very early church - generally regarded the pagan gods as demons. The early Church Father Justin Martyr, writing around 155 CE, said:
"[...]not knowing that [the Greek gods] were demons, they called them gods, and gave to each the name which each of the demons chose for himself[...]we not only deny that they who did such things as these are gods, but assert that they are wicked and impious demons[...]"
The most famous demons who were formerly pagan gods are likely Baal and Beelzebub, both pre-Judaic Semitic gods. The goat legs and horns commonly associated with the Devil are from the demonization of the Greek god Pan who, it could be said, was the Greek's favorite god (even surpassing the Olympians).
Further, the very word 'demon' comes from the Greek 'δαίμων' (daímōn) which refers to 'the divine' and is sometimes used interchangeably with 'θεός' (theós) - diety/god.
It's possible that most nuns today don't believe that the Greek gods were/are demons - the Catholic Church's
Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith no longer attaches the same importance to demonology or exorcism as it once did - but it seemed a fitting conceit in light of the topic of the game.
