Would the person live in Asgard? The belief in Thor would make perfect since in Asgard just as the belief in a Creator makes perfect sense in Creation. Now how crazy would it be to acknowledge the existence of Loki and Odin, but not Thor?
It's 'Midgard'. We live in 'Midgard'. Get your goddamn Norse mythology right.
And I don't know how to dissect your second sentence - believing in the protector of Mankind is just as 'perfect' as believing in a Creator or something? If that was what you were implying, then you must've missed the 'mythology' part of 'Norse mythology' and see that believing in a Creator is as well justified as believing in Thor. If not, please rephrase your statement.
That said, why not acknowledge the existence of Loki, Odin, Thor, Frigg, Freyja, Heimdall et al if you're 'acknowledging' the existence of some Creator wizard? You make a point of why believe in only a partial set of Gods and Goddesses and ignore the rest - I am extending it further to encompass all Gods, Goddesses and magic men in the sky - why not acknowledge their existence? Why hold your belief hostage on only a small set of deities, when there are a great many others that you aren't paying attention to.
