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

[Huggy Bear]

No, my argument is that Odin is a myth formed from older myths... The city of Babel existed... Their mythology also existed... 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?

That's another discussion, we're talking Odin.

Got it?

The OT is a myth formed from older myths and so is the character known as jesus. 

If this is all your logic requires I think you just disproved your guy also.

Like I said, that's another discussion.

I would strongly suggest you read some Norse mythology when you get the chance. Maybe then, you'll stop making such ignorant statements.

And maybe then you'll stop questioning our mighty god! Praise Odin!

The Indo-European languages are a family of several hundred related languages and dialects.

Indo-European languages are spoken by almost 3 billion native speakers, the largest number by far for any recognised language family. Of the 20 languages with the largest numbers of native speakers according to SIL Ethnologue, 12 are Indo-European: Spanish, English, Hindi, Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, German, Sindhi, Punjabi, Marathi, French, Urdu, and Italian, accounting for over 1.7 billion native speakers.

The Anatolian hypothesis is that the Indo-European languages spread peacefully into Europe from Asia Minor from around 7000 BCE with the advance of farming (wave of advance).

Therefore seeing how the German Language can be traced back to Mesopotamia, it's not unreasonable for their pagan beliefs to be derived from that region also.
