The Norse Gods are the Real Deal
July 15, 2015 at 3:38 pm
Forget your Christianity, your Islam, your Hinduism, and all those other false doctrines.
Ignore their false "holy" books, full of contradictions, fallacies, and lies.
Only the Norse Gods are real.
Am I going to make any pseudo scientific claims to prove this?
No.
I will ask just one question: When was the last time you saw a Frost Giant or a troll?

Yesterday.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

How can we not love Odin? Didn't he hang on the great tree, Yggdrasil so that he could bring us the wisdom of the runes? You would have to hate him to deny such a gift.

Probably not, no, later christianization - hanging on a tree, pierced by the spear of destiny, a sacrifice unto himself - that's far too cute. In a potentially less corrupted (and more nuanced) version of the narrative he gave his eye for the gift of sight (by runes and other means). He's a deeply flawed character, btw, really dicks people over (even people he loves, even himself) in an unrelenting quest for the greatest sum of all knowledge. I'd say it's a mix between an aspirational and cautionary tale. More than any of this his greatest attribute in the narratives seems to be the application of an accord between agrarian gods and wargods (the latter camp he's a member of). Through clever marriages, adventures, and assimilation he brought together two warring powers to defeat a third, a greater evil - as it were.
Despite all of that, he doesn't seem to be beyond the business of dispensing practical advice, enjoy.....

Coincidence?

Quote:There is another bird associated with Odin, the eagle. The god often transformed himself into this canny raptor, both to view the workings of the world and to intervene when an avian form was better suited to his ends.

Obviously, Odin is protecting New York City from frost trolls.

I love Thor. He kicks ass in the Avengers. I don't see Jesus fighting alongside Captain America.
