I'm just going to come out and ask this. How is everyone else not awed by the fact that there are gods - literal gods - on the station with us?

I have worshipped at many altars, and the way I came to understand it was that the gods were beyond us and that when I prayed on the eve of battle, the Lady of War did not mind if I called to her as Inanna or as Venus ~~or Freyja~~ or Saint Joan. The same with all the other gods and goddesses in their own domains.

Now I hear that Thor and Loki are here. Does that mean that countless other peoples were wrong, and the Norsemen right?

	I was in awe at first, but then Istarted playing Poker with him every Thursday at Ben Grimm's place. You sorta get used to it. [Private] And, I'm pretty sure Robby is right. They're more like Aliens with very advanced technology that live very long lives. So, they were most likely worshipped as gods when they first showed up. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He's talking to me. What am I supposed to do? I'm very out of practice at this. I've been sort-of Christian for a while. Polytheistic Christian. Terrible heresy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just play it cool, I guess? Don't gush.. It looks like the Loki I know is very different from the one here. He seems... More calm. Less world dominationy. And, I'm not saying this to freak you out, but I have met The One Above All. He didn't seem too big a fan of organized religion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You mean that there are two of them? That doesn't make sense, not if he is a god. The king of the gods, you mean? Is he here too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's infinite. Multiverse, remember? I guess that's what I mean, but no. They aren't here, as far as I know. I met when during a.. difficult time in my life, ~~one of a billi</strikethey gave me some advice.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gods are supposed to be outside of the multiverse. That's what makes them gods and not just regular guys with powers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wish I knew the true answer, man. This is honestly more Reed Richards or Dr. Strange's territory than mine. I'm more of the applied science, chemistry, and engineering type. Just telling you what I know. Funny story: I have my version of Loki a New York hot dog once while I tried to help him.... He actually owes me a favor now that I think on it.

	It's alright. If someone who has lived as long as I have does not have the answers, I can hardly expect it of anyone else. Besides, you've been helpful! He isn't my god, he's from another world entirely. Make sure you call in that favour someday, though, because he's probably still very powerful. (Reply to this) (Parent)
