Has Huggy ever read anything?  I suspect even his fucking bible gathers much dust.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

The problem I have with apologists is they equivocate back and forth between a bland deist-like god and the Abrahamic god so fast it's like they don't even realize they're doing it.

And then there's the fraudsters like WLC, who know exactly how fallacious they are being.

All this is irrelevant. The point is you can't prove the non-existence of Odin. And that's just fucking obvious. It's not fucking falsifiable for fuck's sake. Nor are there any logical contradictions around the very concept of Odin... unlike some interpretations of the Christian God.

That mythology was incorporated into Norse mythology. Therefore since Norse mythology is in no way original, it cannot be the truth, making Odin not real.

In what way is Christianity original when it is a mythology wholly dependant on Judaism and when there were dozens of christ-like mythologies floating around at the time?

And the Noah, Gilgamesh copy etc etc.
