My deity isn't prudish... he just keeps his private life private.

No, he was fathered by the Holy Spirit through some process that still left Mary a Virgin. I'm not sure if THAT was a trick Zues had picked up though.

Why would Gay colossus even want you when he has several
himbos fighting for his attention?
Why do attractive men rape fat chicks?
The mind is a crazy thing and tends to get more unbalanced the more one is removed from the norms of society. Look at how many nutcases have god complexes as doctors, actors, and lawyers. Now imagine how messed up someone would be in the head if he had super powers.

But,speaking as a christian, since both the HS and JC are also God he essentially gave birth to himself.
Becoming his own father and son simultaneously.

He's referring to people thanking God for his "help" in absolutely every single thing that happens on Earth...from the sun rising and setting to a drug-addicted football player thanking him for helping him catch the winning touchdown pass in the Super Bowl.
I still don't see where that relates to a private deity. All those attributed miracles and blessings are everything God does?

According to the Dragons and Gods book, a god's SDC and power base is based on his worshippers, whom he gains by deeds. The form they take is whatever they believe their worshippers wish them to look like.
I just picked up that book this weekend. I wanted to see what it said about the Osiris thing, and it does state that if all the pieces are found he will be resurrected; they are magic items to be located according to that particular text.
How are those two related and how are they related to a deity's privacy?

A deity has no privacy if people are hanging on his/her every word. It is kinda like the difficulty famous people and celebrities have in maintaining a private life, only if a god goes into seclusion for long enough, he/she can die.
The pieces of Osiris can be likened to groups of people worshipping him: only if all believe can he return to his worshippers.
The idea is that gods compete for worshippers as part of their survival, and only the most popular survive.
So just how are mortals, with mortal perception to know all God does and says?
