Disproving Odin - An Experiment in arguing with a theist with Theist logic

Also, I’ve had a personal experience with Odin himself.  He came to me in a vision and I know for a fact that it was real; not a dream or hallucination.  I know other people who have been personally touhed by him as well.  Our testimony is evidence of his existence.

And just in case people try to claim you are saying that for arguments sake, Camus, (doubters! all of them!) I found another account of the wise and powerful Odin online. It's... pretty interesting...

Quote:One of the big rituals at the Pagan festival I attend is the Drawing Down.  It is where multiple priests and priestesses allow a divinity to take temporary possession of their bodies so that they can speak with devotees.  Who you speak with is typically luck of the draw.  Rarely are masculine divinities drawn down in my experience, as female divinities are just more popular it seems. Even more rare, in my experience, is having a walker seek out a particular person at a divinity's behest.  I experienced both this time.

As a friend and I approached the entrance to the ritual area, we found a walker waiting.  At first I thought that he was warding the area, making sure people passing by were quiet and would not interrupt proceedings.  He held out his hand to my friend and promptly led her past the dozen or so people waiting to speak with a divinity.  I was surprised but glad for my friend.  

I waited only 2-3 minutes before a walker entered the area and made a beeline for me.  I, too, was lead past the others that had been waiting before me.  The walker told me I was going to see Odin.  My heart dropped.  Yay for seeing a masculine divinity for a change...but...Odin has a very fierce reputation.  I must of trembled because the walker asked me if I was nervous.  I told him that I'm always nervous before I go see a divinity.  Things had happened so quickly I had had no time to prepare myself and well...Odin.  The walker chuckled and told me that Odin was in a very good and chatty mood.  He would probably ask me to sit down while we chatted.  That was another surprise.  Usually you are either kept standing or asked to kneel.

Sure enough, as soon as I was led to Odin's pavilion, I felt waves of peace rolling off of him.  As he started to speak, he seemed very grandfatherly, like the type of grandfather I've always wanted but never had.  He asked me to sit.  I probably talked with him for 5 to 10 minutes which is also unusual.  He pointed out to me that I had allowed myself to be caught up in a modern mindset that really didn't apply to me, my situation or even my belief system.  Among other things, he also said that it is a modern mindset the idea that one can raise a child alone.

If that doesn't count as proof of Odin's majesty, I don't know what does. (Compare/contrast with various experiences of Jesus.) Huggy is gonna have a hard time disproving this one.
