True story

GreenEyedDemon · 3 months

Thor and Loki were only perceived as gods by mortals though (according to what I understand from the movie), they're not actual gods.

GreyDeath · 3 months

Will put on nerd hat:

Not only are Thor and Loki not actual gods (Thor states so himself in his movie), but as part of the Marvel Multiverse (Universe 199999 per The Official Marvel Universe Handbook) there exists something somewhat akin the the Judeo-Christian God, the One-Above-All. Now 199999 doesn't have any evidence of the One-Above-All, but the Fantastic Four and Spider Man from Universe 616 have met him/her/it, and was referred to by the Living Tribunal as "the judge of all realities and omniverse", and referred by Uatu the watcher as "the only all powerful being". When Dr Strange met Eternity he said "I and my brother, Death, comprise all of your reality, mystic! Neither he nor I are God, for God rules all realities!" again referring to the One-Above-All.

Sees funny comic. Reposts. So I will repost my comment.

The obvious conclusion is that the Hulk is the one true god. All hail The Hulk who smashes false gods and leaves them broken at his feet.

I never understood why people turned to the major religions we have today. In my opinion the older ones such as the nordic, greek and egyptian mythology are so much cooler.

I had to go check to see if Tony Stark was officially an atheist. Yep.

in thor they even state that they are not gods at all

The hulk beat Loki up. I hardly think he beat Thor up. Thor got the better of Hulk, which is why Hulk punches Thor when he isn't ready or looking.

I'm with the hulk, anyone else?

It's shit like this that makes me hate /r/atheism. In the marvel universe, there is only one god. The captain isn't necessarily christian, and stark is just skeptical. Neither Loki nor Thor is a god they're just strong aliens with advanced technology. When the top thing on /r/atheism is a commentary on a fictional universe, something seems wrong.

Ironically enough I just watched Thor for this first time a couple hours ago, quote from the movie "this isnt just earth where u show up in a few lightning bolts and everyone thinks ur a god." Great movie tho

probablyazebra · 3 months

When you meet them, they stop being gods in the religious sense. It wouldn't make sense to worship somebody you could have a beer with!

Essentially, they're just superheroes: just as plausible and just as powerful.

A far cry from the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent god of today's most popular religions.

This is not only incorrect, it is repost as fuck and has a shitty title. This is bad content and it needs to be downvoted.

False. This story as with all other Marvell productions is a work of fiction.

Old Story.

Burly_Satyr · 3 months

In the comic there was a scene where Odin speaks of powers much greater than himself and anything. Thor also mentions them and I think one of them refers to them as light/holy/benevolent or something.

Well that last part seemed like a bit of a stretch. Thor seemed to be holding his own, and possibly enjoying himself. The last part that I remember was him choking Hulk out with Mjolnir.

Once again, the hulk dominates the discussion.

Who'd a thought he'd have such a talent for debate?

TotallyTugBoat · 3 months

I thought Thor held his own pretty well against Hulk compared to others I've seen fight, or run away from him.

I haven't read the comics, but at least from what I understood from the movies, Thor and Loki are aliens.

For the billionth time, they aren't actual "Gods". They are just aliens that humans worshipped.

False, Marvel is a fictional universe written about by prolific authors such as Stan Lee

I would think Banner would be an atheist as well. I don't know if they have ever mentioned it.

jusajus · 3 months

This again? I think they are both smart enough to realize that Thor and Loki were not gods but just advanced aliens. So not too much faith shaking there. And Hulk? Beating the crap out of things is what he does Bst

Chozo_Lord · 3 months

People cheered during the Avengers when Captain America said he only believes in God -_-

Bishopkilljoy · 3 months

Maybe I missed it but when does Tony state he doesn't believe in god?

WeDoNotSow · 3 months

False. They aren't real, so nothing they experience or believe is a "True story."

This is fiction. This is a fictional story.

That's the opposite of a true story.

The_Geek_Gurl11 · 3 months

Yes but Loki and Thor are Norse gods and belong into a different faith. Their existance would only prove that the Norse gods exist not Christian or any other religious god there is.

Zintao · 3 months

All I see is two scientists who are atheists and one stupid fucking soldier boy who is a what? christian of some sort. It's easy really, soldiers are taught to follow orders without questioning (which is why theists make such good soldiers) and then scientists whose work it is to explore and discover (which is why atheists make better scientists).

Although the humans in the comics and the film were fascinated (more so in the comics, in the film they were like "meh gods...") by Loki, thor and their ilk they are essentially humanoid beings who have an ancestral link with humans on earth.

It is believed that most humanoid beings (even ones that aren't human) share a common ancestor in the marvel universe. SO while Loki, Thor etc are highly advanced, extremely powerful and have special augmentations that make them god-like it isn't magic, most of the gear they have is explained in the comics and may be explained in the Avengers 3 when Thanos starts some shit.

Thanos has a special gauntlet which you see in the Thor film which allows him to do anything. He rips Iron Man in Half, He chocks the Hulk, Kills a few other Avengers and Captain America shocks Thanos because Captain wasn't afraid of his purple ass.

Regardless. They are just humanoid beings from another planet, not gods :)

Even Loki exclaims that they are mortal, can/will die.

Finally a worthy post from r/atheism that's not about bitching about others way of living.

They met 2 aliens who were thought to be gods by ancient civilizations.

So they're justified in their responses.

Thor is not a god. He's an advanced species that has mastered intergalactic travel. His species was mistaken as gods by a primitive human culture.

I love that people are pointing out that Marvel's Thor and Loki are not actually gods. Ok, I'll bite: at what point do you get to classify yourself as a god?

Sorry it's just coming off as "This guy's imaginary friend is a god while that guy's imaginary friend isn't a god".
