He might not, but you might. 
But more seriously - we're all very mean people, just here to torment you. In fact, I mark every person who walks by my fulcrux for punishment...
...Anyways. Just because you should not fear us as gods in real-life, does not mean you shouldn't in-game. They are, after all, gods - but they generally don't zap without a good reason (and are generally rather enjoyable characters)
(Note: Reason may be you offended them. I hear Fain, in his undeadness, finds breathing offensive. :x)

My being afraid of Divine is a huge reason why I'll never follow Fain. XD If any God scares me, it's him.
I think Kalikai would be fun. I need to get Lucan to leave some booze at her fulcrux sometime.

OBJECTION! Terentia.
Yeah from an OOC perspective, Gods are players too. I'm going to assume they don't enjoy staring at a screen that says "The Fulcrux of Lyreth" for 9/10 hours of game play. They get their entertainment from, well, playing their god! I doubt ReadLog divine ever had
"Lyreth Zapped Shaeden Reason: HE SPOKE TO ME!

True story.
(Of course, I had entered it 2 times previously while making the connections work, but still! Meany!)

I stand by that decision, actually. Cowardice makes all of humanity worse. Knock it off.
Truly, if one aspires to become merely half as bold and fearless as Xavius, even should you fail to attain that lofty goal, your life will not have been lived in vain.
Anyway, my two cents:
As has been mentioned, there's nothing wrong with being intimidated by god characters, but the only solution is to relax and loosen up a bit, and work yourself through it. Make an effort to detach yourself from your character's feelings (people can get "sucked in" to the fantasy, like in horror movies), decide logically how he should interact with a god character, type it out, and make yourself press Enter.
Lusternia's gods are far more good-humored, patient and forgiving (on the whole) than some I've met in MUDs past.
