From Avengers Academy 38. The entire issue is full of great interactions like this.

It was the start of the standalone Graphic Novel line which also gave us classics such as X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills, Dazzler: The Movie, The Sensational She-Hulk, Doctor Strange: Into Shamballa, Daredevil: Love and War, The Mighty Thor: I, Whom The Gods Would Destroy, and Silver Surfer: Judgement Day.

Cool, thanks.

Considering Beta Ray Bill beat the crap out of Thor before he got his hammer, I'm guessing he sees the Asgard as just another race of highly advanced aliens.

If you want the whole story including the lead-up, you need Captain Marvel #31-34 and Avengers #125. The Hachette reprint covers Invincible Iron Man #55, Captain Marvel #25-30 and Marvel Feature #12 as well.

Overall DoCM is a bit mawkish as you might expect, but the bit at the end when Thanos shows up is magnificent.

Depending on the author, sometimes Thor can just go visit an afterlife if he wants (his niece runs one), and other times it's as much a mystery to him as it is to humans.

After a while of living in said universe where thirty different people claim to all be different gods, you stop caring. Or just assume them to be yet another alien with Sufficiently Advanced Technology masquerading as magic.

He does say that even if there is anything divine, he doesn't like the idea of worshiping it anyway. Which fits, I mean if I rubbed shoulders with Thor or any of the other divinities, I'd probably find the idea of praying to them weird, to say the least.

Even Odin prays to Thor when poo poo goes bad.

Yeah, when you've seen as much poo poo as Bill has, it starts getting hard to not see higher powers as just more evolved powers. And prayer does seem pretty blasphemous and wrong at that point. You could worship Thor, but then you clearly have beings above him, like Galactus. And beings above him like Eternity or The Living Tribunal. Where does it end? Who's the real creator worthy of answering to?

Yeah, someone posted panels earlier in this thread of him leaving a kind of video/hologram will to his kids with no sound with him writing out stuff about there being no God or Heaven, etc.

Then someone reposted the Beta Ray Bill panels, pointing out it was basically the same thing Reed was trying to convey, but phrased much better.
