Megami of Nekro: Ah! So if Snorri Sturlson says it, it must be true. ;)

Megami of Nekro: Uh, Snorri was a Christian. He is also the only source for a great deal of what we know about Norse Mythology. Therefore, if Snorri put his own spin on things, we'd likely never know. So I guess you have to decide how reliable you find Christian authors.

Loki is not primarily an adversary of the gods, though he is often portrayed in the stories as the nemesis to the protagonist Thor, and the giants are not so much fundamentally evil, as rude, boisterous, and uncivilized. The dualism that exists is not evil vs good, but order vs chaos. The gods represent order and structure whereas the giants and the monsters represent chaos and disorder.

There are no "evil gods." Remember, this was in a time before Christianity?
But one interesting tidbit to note about Egyptian mythology: Horus was the son of Ra (supreme god). Set, a dark god, was Horus' enemy. Horus defeated Set to take the throne as the next ruler.
Remind you of anything?

Loki is not evil, but he is crazy ! and expensive to work with, he expects the truth, and he doesnt take no for an answer! And when he comes calling, there is no denying it is time to pay the piper!

No. Loki is really cool. I can't wait to see him in action at Ragnarok! ^__^
In response to your additional details: :P!!! I can believe what I wish to believe. Hey, if people believe the Man-written bible, I can believe this!

He's a trickster, but not necessarily evil. Just chaotic.
