I read two brilliant Betty fics recently and now I want more Betty! More Peggy! More Maria and Darcy and all the ladies! Actually, I just joined marvelousladies so hopefully there will be wonderful ladies in my future :)

Yeah, I'm more interested in the cultural than the religious. Steve says, 'there's only one god, m'am, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that' or something along those lines. Asgardians may feature in Midgardian myth and legend, but I think it is a case of more myth and legend than religion. Kind of 'god' in the way one religion views a god from another, god with a little 'g' - that is not our God with a big 'G', it is a cute story you are telling yourselves, you backwards people.

to believe that they are better than humans Because they have advanced science - sufficiently advanced technology being indistinguishable from magic, beyond our tiny human brains' understanding type stuff. Humans are primitive and children. Now, in a verse where Migardians have daemons...does having half of yourself, having your soul (?) in the form of an animal scream primitive or what? Bestial. Oh, okay, there's the thing with Loki and a horse? Myths and comics, whatever, let's just look at the films. It's like us looking at cave paintings and how people used to view animals, the importance of them, and now we're all, 'you want cows, we have fields full' and 'oh, what, no, we made those go extinct'. What would Asgardians think of daemons I wonder?

(Okay, I have guilt, go sleep :P )

Joined! :D I'll have to start writing more. Oh, Betty, you lovely fierce woman.

Well, Steve's obviously Christian, too, so I don't think his statement reveals much beyond his own personal faith. I think the Asgardians inspired the Norse religion (back when it was a religion, not a mythos) but they weren't around much, and tales got far more outlandish while the Asgardians went 'lol' a lot (because they are patronizing, imperialistic dicks *coughs*)

I think the humans having animals for souls absolutely marks them as lesser in the Asgardian view, all "closer to nature" while the Asgardians have that glittery techno-magical city. And also, the humans...well, the Asgardians are all together, all formed-as-one-being, while the humans are split and can argue and disagree and be vulnerable-

:D it's going to be fun.
