No, I'm right there with you!  
Definitely go the "stats for avatars 
only" route.  I think gods with ability 
scores are hokey, and should be told 
that they can't play reindeer games 
with our more 2nd edition-like gods.

Also, Shawn may have a point there - 
let's decide on what the campaign world 
will be and then define the Gods.  You 
know - will it just be the Realms all 
over again?  Primordial?  Totally 
different?
