Excuse me. I came here asking for answers and trying to be more accepting and tolerant because I actually wanted to learn. Sorry for offending everybody and sorry that you don't want to help people learn and become more accepting. Won't bother you anymore.
Hi everyone. First off, I want to say that in no way is this post meant to offend anyone. I'm sorry if I come off as rude or offensive but I'm just trying to figure some things out and trying to understand.
My boyfriend is a follower of Thor. Until I met him, I didn't even know that there were people in this world who thought Thor was real. In my mind, its something ancient people made up because they didn't understand how the universe works so they made up, for example, The God of Thunder, to explain where thunder comes from. I can't believe that an otherwise intelligent and fairly normal person could actually believe something that seems so utterly absurd to me. To me, this is the same as if he told me he thinks The Lord of the Rings is real. I just don't get it. I never bring it up because the one time I tried to talk to him about what exactly he believes, I got totally freaked out and he told me if I can't accept his religion, I can get out. So I try to pretend it doesn't exist and that he doesn't really believe this because I can't accept the fact that someone I love so much can believe something like this is real. He also apparently thinks he's a bear or something. I don't get it. I don't ask.
So this is why I'm here asking you all exactly what it is that you believe. Do you believe there is an actual God named Thor that exists and that it wasn't just made up by people who didn't have modern science? Do you believe that thunder and lightning is a result of a God or a result of a cold front meeting a warm front? What exactly is it that you believe? I'm just looking for some answers and a way to try to be more accepting of this because right now I hate and despise the fact that he has these beliefs.
Again, I'm truly sorry if I've offended anyone, but I really would appreciate any info you could give me.
Thank you!
Wow. I'm honestly just trying to understand exactly what it is that people believe. Yes, maybe I'm a bit intolerant or ignorant of this religion because I'd never even heard of it 2 years ago and didn't know that people believe such things. I can't really talk to him about it because he doesn't seem to want to explain it. I've done tons of research but I wanted to hear from actual people what it is that they believe. I'm trying to not be "ignorant" about it anymore.

Thor frowns upon thread necromancy.

I didn't take it as offensive, and I can't imagine Thor's skin so thin as to be offended by an honest inquiry. Ignorance is curable, but butt-hurt, sadly, is for life.
