Set (Seth, Setekh, Sut, Sutekh, Suty) was one of ancient Egypt's earliest gods, a god of chaos, confusion, storms, wind, the desert and foreign lands.
As Set was a god of the desert and probably symbolised the destructive heat of the afternoon sun, and thus was thought to be infertile.
When Set saw Isis there, he transformed himself into a bull to be able to pursue her, but she made herself unrecognisable by taking the form of a bitch with a knife on her tail.

 Apep - Egyptian Mythology - Apophis - Serpent God - Egyptian Mythology - Apep - Snake God
As the personification of all that was evil, Apep was seen as a giant snake, crocodile, serpent, or in later years, in a few cases, as a dragon, leading to titles such as Serpent from the Nile, and Evil lizard.
Apparently because of the spat out interpretation of the name Apep, it was said that he had been formed by Neith, who had been the deification of the primordial waters in the Ennead, from a length of spit she had spat at Nu, the deification of the primordial waters in the Ogdoad.
Indeed, because of the extreme level of nationalism and xenophobia, Set eventually became thought of as the god of evil, and gradually took on all the characteristics of Apep.

 The Phoenician and Hebrew God Set or Seth
Traces of this God are found in all oriental countries; and in the most primitive religions, whose traditions are still extant, he (or she) appears as the supreme God.
In the history of the god Seth is to be found a clue to the way in which the sublime and philosophical doctrines of the ancients, after their true meaning was forgotten, were finally changed so as to conform to the enforced humiliation and degradation of women.
Later in the history of Egypt, when the gods have become greatly multiplied, and the original significance of the deity obscured, Horus, the child and the third member in the later Egyptian triad, not unfrequently appears in her place as one of the eight great gods.

 REVIEW: THE SERPENT GRAIL
This cult both worshipped the serpent as a deity with awesome powers and drank a mixture of its venom and blood from a ‘sacred’ ceremonial chalice.
THE SERPENT GRAIL makes the deepest levels of occult lore accessible to people today who possess a sincere desire to delve into their innermost Self and ancestral roots—minus all the “New Age” commercialism and obscurantism deluding the modern world.
Apis Bull crowned with the Solar Disc and Uraeus (serpent.) The other most logical interpretation would be that the goddess Hathor was implied as she represented love, pleasure, music, dancing and singing—all joyous and healthy human actions that were apparently highly so highly offensive to the egomaniacal Demiurge, Jehovah.

Yonosuke, Harada's son, a boy of sixteen, vowed to avenge his father's death, and obtained from the Daimio special permission to kill Gundayu as and when he chose; the disappearance of Gundayu was sufficient evidence that he had been the murderer.
He wandered about the country for five long years without getting the slightest clue; but at the end of that time, by the guidance of Buddha, he located his enemy at Gifu, where he was acting as fencing-master to the feudal lord of that place.
Having ascertained the truth, the Lord of Gifu, moved by the zeal of Yonosuke in discharging his filial duties, returned the golden image of Kwannon to the bereaved family of Harada; and in commemoration he worshipped the dead snake at a shrine erected at the foot of Kodayama Mountain.

 Naga (former ruler of Atlantis)
Via the Serpent Crown, Naga drew great mystical power from the Serpent God Set, granting him Class 10 strength and the ability to project concussive energy powerful enough to lay waste to entire cities, fly, read minds, create illusions, teleport himself or others, and control the minds of others, among many other feats.
Set instructed Naga to take the ancient Serpent Crown from the remains of the skeletons of Phraug and Atra, where it had lain for over 17, 000 years, shunned by all.
Karthon was nearly overcome by the evil call of the Serpent Crown, but Namor helped him resist it, and he placed the Crown on Naga's corpse, which was then pulled into a great fissure which opened in the ocean floor.

 Wizards Community - Feathered Serpent god and the Crimson Shrine
Either way, the gods technically did not exist in their own right, being an attempt by various sentient races to come up with their own concepts of deific powers.
These could easily have been mistaken for gods in the past (my ssurran conversion takes this angle, with ssurran druids claiming they worship ancestral tribal gods that are really Spirits of the Land).
Seeing this particular piece of information (There are no gods...) does not stem from the Prism Pentad heavily influenced parts of the Revised Boxed Set, I would say it is fairly legitimate, and it definitely is ground for rejecting the H0 hypothesis of "Athasian Gods exist or have existed".

But the gem of this collection is undeniably "God Told Me To." Sure, it's rough in places (that sudden blaxploitation subplot came out of where, exactly?) but it is a B-movie with good special effects and an interesting concept...and that's not even the best part.
The best part is that this is a film where the best scenes are actually the emotional ones between actors, and it's a disturbing portrait of a man having his faith pulled from him by slow degrees.
