soloontherocks:For those who don’t know him by name, Rick Riordan is the author of the wildly overrated Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, as well as spinoff series about Egyptian and Roman deities, and an upcoming series about Norse deities.Please note that in context (as you will be able to tell from the sources), this is not a case of “I didn’t know that was still a religion, I didn’t mean to be insulting.” He is well aware that polytheistic religions centering on the Norse, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman Gods still exist as legitimate practices, and just doesn’t consider them worthy of the same concern or care that his beliefs are, because non-Christian religions are secondary to Christianity (see: his grand rant about how even the Greek Gods would admit that the Christian god is better than them; I believe it’s under his FAQ somewhere).Sources in order are:“More Greek God weirdness.” x“Weird article on Norse mythology.” x“Greek gods no longer illegal in Greece” x (he does not do a good job of explaining the backstory here that the post title refers to and I would be happy to explain the situation in Greece to anyone upon request)“Mythology and censorship” xReposted for uncomfortablylongmelisma as per our earlier conversation. -- source link
