Keep in mind that what Roderick is describing is Full Outlawry. Most folk who get outlawed get the Lesser variety, which is for several years (but allows the outlaw to return to society at some point). I'm pretty sure Lesser Outlaw does not cut you off from the gods - it is more of a banishment for a spate of years.
