The majority of monotheists are stupid. How good would their opinion be on an easily verifiable topic?
If you ask stupid monotheists about evolution, they would tell you garbage. If you ask them about God, they would tell you garbage too. You shouldn’t update much in either case, even if they believe one but not the other. If you want to be an atheist, you steelman theism first.
The original statement was about God, not Thor. I can’t think of anything I particularly have against Thor, besides being a tiresome, pompous ass in Marvel comics. In an honest reading of the bible, God is a sadistic psychopath.
There are more or less horrific gods. I wasn’t responding to a statement about a god who grants wishes and poops happiness gum drops, and I see no point in engaging in wishful thinking about what the bestest and shiniest god could be.
