For all those who keep asking why theists don't believe in Thor... here's the trailer for a movie about this mythical super hero.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the release of 'The Green Hornet'!
Good will to all men? Not from the grumpy atheists! (Thank God not all atheists are grumpy but there sure seems to be a lot of them)
Why is it that so many in the atheist community cannot bring themselves to get past their anger whenever they engage in discussions? The language of many of their contributions in public debate is laced with invective and dripping with sarcasm and bile. There are exceptions of course, but they tend to fall more into the category of being the 'exception that proves the rule' when compared to the hostility of many of today's atheist posters. Comment offered by the theists in the public square is often depicted as being 'malicious' or 'venomous' and intended to enslave the 'feeble minded and weak' by those who post. Nothing could be further from the truth. Venom is something that is oriented to death. Christians are oriented in a 180 degree different direction. We speak not to the culture of death that grips our world but rather for the culture of life and light which ends with the gift of eternal life. For example, the Catholic Church in its hum...
Oh, Tim, please. Do not take anyone to task for their beliefs or non-beliefs by citing anything produced by HOLLYWOOD as an example of "proof" of anything.
ReplyDeleteI have some Norse/Odinist/Asatru friends who are so angry at this treatment of their mythology that they are boycotting it wholesale, and telling everyone why:
1. Hollywood switched Thor with Loki. That was a very, very bad idea. Anyone who knows the Norse mythology will spot that right away. Even children know the difference between them.
2. Sif is the goddess of the harvest. Her hair is the color of wheat. In this film, she is shown with black hair. Would you eat black grain?
3. Norse mythology does not contain anyone of any other ethnicity. For one thing, they didn't know that any other ethnicities existed. So, how do we get a black man depicting Heimdal, the Guardian of Bifrost?
I'm looking forward to this movie (both of them, actually) purely as entertainment. But I'm not fooled that it adheres to the actual mythology, and I also know it doesn't resemble the original comic in any way whatsoever. It's just a movie.
