Just as in real life - there are things that are, there are things people believe that are and there are things people tell you that are.

This doesn´t even touch the area of "should be".

There is only one possible way to find the truth. Test it. Or as the buddhists say: If you meet the Buddha - kill him.

In the 8. century there was an english monk, by the name of Wynfrieth (the peacewinner, if I interpret this correctly), who took the name Bonifatius (literally the Do-gooder!!) and went to Germany, where he felled an oak that was sacred to Thor (Donar as he was called in that area).

Was he struck by lightning? Or a hammer thrown? He wasn´t.

As the germans of that time were a practical people, they concluded that either Jesus protected that strange foreigner and thus was mightier and more worthy of worship than Donar, or Donar didn´t bother to respond and thus was equally unworthy of worship.

Same with Vyrthur - He says, that he has the ear of a god, he might even believe it, but then there is his actual fatre.
