Debating/Discussing Anglo-Saxton Heathanism
Ciarin, we can continue our discourse here.
Now then:
You've explained that you believe that your deities (I'll be referring to them by their original Norse titles - I'm aware you disagree, but frankly, I don't really care) control natural phenomena, and are literally existent entities. Thor, for example, commands thunder and lightning.
What evidence do you have to substantiate this claim?

I can see the bright green strip of grass beneath the wall, and the clear blue sky above the wall, and sunlight everywhere. Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full."

as far as mythologies anyone actually cares about or ever cared about go, i think brahman trumps all the deities, including the hebrew god, considering brahman is everything.
galacticus could definitely kick some ass too. what about infinity gauntlet mythos, guys? my personal favorite imaginary badass was always THANOS.
"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."

then there's thanos's DC counterpart, darkseid. he's pretty badass too, but i was always WAY more into marvel than DC as a kid (there were actually wars over which was better in my middle school--i was fanatically in the marvel camp), so i don't know so much about him.
i recall he and thanos faced off in the marvel vs. DC series, but i never saw who won, if either.

Dagon/Daggoth made an appearance as well, although within the story it wasn't recognized as anymore more than a strange new (and temporary) island.
