Is this legit? Yeah, it's common for Jews not to write or type out the word in full.

Good question. It's the usual Jewish way of referring to God while observing the traditional prohibition on directly writing His name. I'm going to interpret it as simply saying God and not try to read anything into the elision.

I am Jewish so the interpretation is correct.

Isn't Pan a god? He's at least connected to mythology...

All except Sunrise have favored Temple highly, I'd say point to that if you agree. I think Pan is too weak and we have better options.
How to pick from the others? Here's my logic: If it were Temple-Olympus-Jupiter, you could clue something like "Zeus" to more clearly hit all these and stay away from Grace.
It seems pretty much impossible to clearly clue Olympus or Jupiter without steering us into the other. So I think most likely David is going for Grace, and that whichever of Olympus or Jupiter is wrong is an acceptable risk (gray) and he expects we might guess wrong and come back for the right one.
So I want to go Temple - Grace - Jupiter, because that seems slightly more directly correlated with the clue. Who agrees?

I'm on board with that. Olympus or Jupiter for the 3rd pick is a bit of a coin flip, but I'm confident in Temple and Grace.

I agree as it still stands with my original interpretation.
point to temple
Point to grace
After those two I favor Olympus because I think it has a stronger association with God than Jupiter, but I agree it's closer to a coin flip. Technically you can get Olympus with mount. But Jupiter you can get with planet, space, solar. I just think Olympus is more likely to be clued by God than Jupiter.
