Jesus promised to end sin
Thor promised to banish the ice giants.

Norse mythology: 1, Christianity: 0.

I prefer the Icelandic Eddas and Sagas over the Greek epics and tragedies.

Thunderbolts, love affairs, Hercules, and hydras versus Frost Giants, the Midgard Serpent, Thor, and a giant cow.

Norse for me.
