User Reviews

for those of you disappointed

Even in the episode it was mentioned that the Pagangods were weakened because not many people believed in them anymore. But even an atheist would have thoughts about the devil. Everyone knows who he is and that gives him power so the fact that he was able to defeat them so easily doesn't make the gods weak, it just meant that he had more people believing in him that made him stronger. Just think about it though, because before I even watched this I didn't even know who Odin or Kali were. I didn't even know about Loki until I saw this episode and if I didn't know, just think about anyone else who probably watched it and had no clue. But the devil? Everyone could recall who he is even if they hadn't read the bible.
