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?

	That's what I thought initially. This place just...confused things, I suppose. The true gods are beyond the multiverse, though. They had to be, to create it, and all the lesser beings within it. Everything we see of them is just an oversimplification, I think. Something a human mind can comprehend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, we're getting into some real quantum theory shit here, hun. We can talk about perception and relation to levels of godhood and how time isn't linear all we want but even as an eternal being I don't have time for that. And honestly, kinda dull. Wild speculation is much more fun.

Also, if you want to keep throwing my name in your prayers, even if you aren't talking to me specifically, I'm totally cool with it by the way.

	Right now, I am Aphrodite. I have a few other names and epithets, but we're keeping things simple. (Reply to this) (Parent)
