Of course, if they don't come up against "Unholy Stuff" very often then they won't get much of a discount.  So the question is, what IS the discount for "Unholy Stuff"?

Beings of Love fell in love with mortal women.  They beget upon them children which caused the angels to Fall.  (And Angels still Fall to this day).  Nephilim were so hated by God that he sent the Flood to destroy them.

Actually, there are two parts to the Flood:
(1) Mankind was falling deeply into Sin, to the point that God could only find Noah and his immediate Family as acceptable. It was to git rid of this that he decided that something needed to be done.

(2) There were a LOT of Nephilim and other Scions running around, and starting to become a real problem to The Plan.
From what I understand, a lot of the stories of Giants and the Old Gods (Perhaps even the Elder Gods) came from.

And so GOD sent The Flood, which wiped them out (or at least their mortal forms), and God then barred all the Scions from the Moral Plan from then on.

As for the Now - Jesus's sacrifice means that a lot of those GOD SMITING days are over, and Scions are treated as being Mortal.
I also think that because of the Limitation, Scions receive a lot less power.
