    Not physically ...kinda like most gods. But gods seem a spiritual matter (hu hu matter) to me.

    Yes, Thor exists, but not how he’s traditionally pertrayed

    (NEWSER) – A far-right group is calling for a boycott of the upcoming Thor movie because a black actor has been cast as a Norse god. Wire star Idris Elba plays the god Heimdall in the superhero movie, a casting decision that the Council of Conservative Citizens says is an "insulting multi-cultural make-over”

    Marvel Comics is known for its support of left-wing causes and "has now inserted social engineering into European mythology," complains the group, which opposes inter-racial marriage.

    Elba himself addressed the issue earlier this year; "Thor has a hammer that flies to him when he clicks his fingers," he said. "That's OK, the hammer doesn’t distinguish between skin color”

    "Ever exist"
    Ever is a long time. In an infinite reality, every combination of interacting events will take place. Including all events needed to bring about a thor, with all of his powers. And since infinity goes in more than one direction, it's likely that somewhere in the past, thor was baking cookies in his sister's easy bake oven.

    nothing is how its 'traditionally portrayed', but lots of things exist, which no one knows anything about. so thor, yala, alah, jehova, woden, they're all names. humans invent names to bullshit themselves. the wierd thing is, things could exist, which have nothing to do with our doing so. thor is just a name, like fred or joe, but invisible things, great or small, greatter or lesser then ourselves, about which no one knows anything, there's nothing to stop things we don't know from existing, we just need to stop bullshitting ourselves that we know anything about them, just because we can pull some name for them out of our ass.

    i think we're dumb to romantacize and reward aggressiveness. that, not some god nor anti god, is the most harmful and destructive thing. i believe there are invisible things that want to be our friend, or at least mostly harmless. they just have nothing, or at least don't need to anyway, with what people tell each other to pretend the same things as themselves.

    you can call your invisible friend "thor" if you want to, or any of those other names, or any name, and they will know that's YOUR name for them, but really, what you call them, has nothing to do with themselves.

    Lol. Some people.

    Thor's portrayal by marvel is already laughable. Just like most superheroes. Why would anybody get their panties in a twist because of some crappy fantasy? It doesn't affect the greatness of the norse pantheon

    Exactly; besides if they want to portray in film the African War God Kibuka as a blonde-haired blue-eyed deity, I don’t think East African's would have a problem with that

    Personally I'm not so sure science can explain the origins of the universe, or give us values, so there must be something more, because I can't figure it out right now. And since I know about Thor, and have read lots of books about him, it must be that He's the trick. I also have some personal experiences that prove to me that Thor exists and is our God, though I won't be sharing those with you because they are highly personal, and besides, it would be incredibly rude of you to suggest that what I interpret as the doings of a Norse God are actually something else.

    So let's just agree that Thor exists.

    Unless you're an atheist; then you're an asshole and probably trying to ban Thursday (Thor's Day). Turn it into Wednesday Two or something ridiculous, maybe Darwinday. I WONT HAVE IT.

    It's common knowledge that lightning and thunder is made by Thor. So there's no way for atheists to deny this god!
    Personally I only acknowledge Loki. That's the guy worthy raising your beer to (norse way of praying)

    I think most of the beings that populate myths were based on someone that lived. :)

    My thoughts, exactly.

    Check out the natives at the end of this clip..

    ^The clip is not about Thor, but it does show how people might of reacted to things they'd never seen before.
