Gen - Steve, Thor - "There's only one God"

[anonymous]

Steve goes to church. Out of curiosity, Thor tags along. Friendship with a side of theology.

[maevebran]

Oh yes. If this isn't filled by the time I get my computer back from the shop, I'll tackle this one.=)

Re: Gen - Steve, Thor - "There's only one God"

[downbythebay_4]

Seconded, like woah. What's your preference, Protestant or Catholic?

I'm leaning towards catholic because explaining transubstantiatoin to Thor would be AMAZING.

Re: Gen - Steve, Thor - "There's only one God"

[anonymous]

Catholic preferred, and I would definitely love to see that. :)

But if anyone else is wants to do a fill with another denomination, that's cool, too.

Re: Gen - Steve, Thor - "There's only one God"

[anonymous]

Hmmm, I might knock out a fill for this as well (as a Religious Studies and Philosophy student) if nobody minds? :)

Re: Gen - Steve, Thor - "There's only one God"

I would really love to see how you approach this! Please go for it :)

[Fill] Canto Alla Vita [1/3]

[I know others are probably gonna fill this but I wanted a chance as well, enjoy. Since you didn't state what religion you wanted, I went for Roman Catholicism]

Every sunday, rain or shine, after a battle as well, Steve got himself up and dressed nicely. A quick cup of coffee and a muffin as well. The sounds of his dog tags and his St. Michael's medallion clinking together as he made his way almost out of the tower but stopped when he heard someone call him. He spun on his heel and saw that it was Thor, dressed in clothing similar to him but his own boots.

"Steven, may I join you on your journey?"
"You sure? I wouldn't mind the company"
"Thank you, now where are you off too, in such early hours?"
"Church, particularly St. Patrick's Cathedral at the moment"
"What is this... St. Patrick's? Is it another home?"
"Of sorts. It is a place of worship, where people of the same faith come together, even some of different faithsThe two men fell into silence as they had reached the building. Thor looked up at the building, with large towers

The piece that played brought everyone to stand, some of the folk inside were singing along with music playing, their voices meshing well together. Thor could hear Steven even hum along with it and the look of curiousity grew as the singing ended and the man at the alter, dressed in what appeared to be several colorful cloths over a large robe of sorts. He could hear the words that man was saying,

About a man named Jesus and several other men, about having trust and faith. Friendship; in knowing that someone is there for you, the Lord. He heard the word being repeated various times, and found himself even more curious than before. He watched in confusion and awe, as Steven stood up, than sat down, than stood up again, and sat down, before kneeling once more, with his head down in, once again whispering. He waited until the other people around him were standing and shaking hands, blessing peace upon each other. Thor felt comfortable enough to join in this action with Steven.

"Steven, what comes next? You have been doing most

This is fantastic. Please tell me there is a part 3/3!!!

Fill: A God in the Pew (1/4)

[hermione_vader]

On one particularly sunny morning, Thor decided to pay his friend Steve a visit. He knocked on the door to Steve's quarters and found the good Captain dressed in what the Midgardians called 'a suit and tie.'

"You look quite handsome in that garb, Steve," Thor told him, and indeed, it was very flattering (but little could not flatter Steve's looks). "But why break out your finery so early in the day

Fill: A God in the Pew (2a/4)

[hermione_vader]

A/N: I'm sorry! I started this fill this afternoon when there were no fills. Just consider this a second one. Whoops.They took the subway to a large, pointy building called St. Patrick's Cathedral, in the heart of the good city of New York. It was as grand as a Midgardian building could be, in a somewhat muted way, Thor thought. Had it been on Asgard, it would be shining and golden, perhaps with silver inlay somewhere. Even so, it was a fine structure, though its surfaces were fading: the stone had cracked off in places and the fascinating stain-glass windows had dulled. As they walked through the heavy doors, Steve told him that they were just beginning to renovate the church and it would take some five years to complete it. Nonetheless, it appeared to Thor to be a hardy place that could withstand ever the most brutal of battles

Fill: A God in the Pew (2b/4)

[hermione_vader]

"Hey, it's super-Jesus!" the nearest one whispered to his brother.

"Gabriel, sssshhh," the twins' mother warned.

"But it is!" Gabriel shook his arms in excitement. "Aren't you?"

Thor grinned but shook his head. "No, I'm afraid not."

"Oh, sorry." The boy's head drooped and he turned away.

The twins' older sister (who was perhaps about thirteen or so) leaned forward and looked from Thor to Steve and back again. "They let gay couples in church now?"

"Mary Claire!" their mother hissed. "You will not talk that way in church. It is perfectly legal, no matter what any sermon says."

"He is not my lover," Thor corrected. Steve kept his eyes determinedly shut. "He is my good and dear friend, and I asked him to show me this sacred place."

Mary Claire rolled her eyes. Her mother elbowed her sharply.

Some formal-sounding music emitted from a gigantic instrument that Steve had called a pipe organ. Steve looked to the back of the church and his eyes grew wide.

"Looks like we got the Cardinal celebrating Mass today," Steve said

Re: Fill: A God in the Pew (2b/4)

[azewewish]

"Cardinal? Like the baseball team?" Thor had discovered their adventures through the wonders of the YouTube, and he enjoyed them. But to his knowledge, they worshipped a squirrel and a noble man named Stan, not any gods.

I just sort of had to give you all of the love ever for name-checking the rally squirrel & Stan The Man. *g*

Re: Fill: A God in the Pew (2b/4)

[hermione_vader]

Thank you! I'm a Cardinal fan, born and raised, so the references were inevitable. I have this piece of headcanon that Thor found footage of the 2011 World Series and got really intrigued by the concept of the underdog (and squirrel worship).

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Fill: A God in the Pew (3a/4)

[hermione_vader]

The priest read about the exploits of Jesus's Apostles---his comrades. Not in battle, but in teaching. Lead by a righteous man named Peter, they spread the word about Jesus having saved everyone, but only those who followed his teaching could enter heaven (which sounded awfully contradictory). After that reading, the congregation sang a "responsorial psalm." Thor did not see how repeating a few phrases from the reading constituted responding to it, but he thought it best not to argue. Then there was a second reading, a letter from a man named Paul to the Thessalonians, whoever they might have been. Paul wrote much of devotion and reverence and faith, and Thor thought it a good message. The twins fidgeted one his right, while Steve whispered on his left. Steve mentioned that Paul was converted to this religion when he was blinded by a bolt of lightning. Thor liked that very much, but said nothing
