Because Gabe hates Percy and abused Sally so like if he was an athiest it be funny because he married a woman who had previously been in a relationship(and birthed a son from) a greek god. And since she killed him with Medusaś head his last thoughts were probably like:

´omfgIsThatMedusaLiekWhatAmIDRunkmedusaisnotrealnononośallywhy´ First of all, His name is Gabe not Paul. Paul was much nicer. And secondly, in Greek Heroes, Percy (or Rick) mentioned that those people may be ALIVE inside the statue, which is even worse. So he may technically not even be dead till he's starved or something. Thirdly, he may not even know Medusa, but if he did, you're right. And fourthly, Grover says that different people see the Underworld in different ways, but they are able to see all the others there. So that fake priest may look at a Christian Underworld or something, while the Greek Underworld is actually only what Percy and Annabeth and Grover see. So it's not the Right or Wrong version, it's just their version. But if Gabe is an atheist, that complicates things, but he probably is, because we never see him praying or something. That's what I have to say. So on the name thing-my mistake.

But I mean either way dead or alive he still probably thought something like that. And most people do know who Medusa is she's sorta one of the 'main' monsters in common knowledge along with vampires/Dracula, Frankenstein, werewolves,etc. And who said anything about the right or wrong version? Nobody SAID anything, but I just said that because I felt like saying that and I can't double post (lol). And I never knew Medusa until I read about her in Lightning Thief. But maybe it's because I was a child, but I am sure my parents don't know about Medusa either. Anyway, whether he knew Medusa or not, it doesn't matter. What matters is, is he dead or alive? And was killing him the right decision? And for that I say: I mean, he WAS bad. Real BAD. And he did deserve it because he was hitting his wife and treating his stepson like he was a glob of dirt on his new shirt (no rhyme intended 😉) and he was selfish and greedy and all that, but I feel that when Percy told the whole of Los Angeles that Gabe would gift them free appliances was punishment enough, but he would have been more agitated for that. The best thing that could have happened was Sally divorcing him outright. That's my view. And Paul was the best decision Sally ever made. But I pity him if he's alive inside the statue, until he crumbles to dust. Your spot on. The whole Sally even married Gabe was to protect Percy from the monsters. Without him, Percy would have easily died before the start of the series.
