No einherjer for you! My point being that every religion on earth believes itself to have the one true answer to life, the universe and everything, as well as the only valid pass to "heaven". What makes you think your point of view is so special?
You need to take into account the Bible, within this book it is said that God is the only god, there are no other gods. This is what my God says, besides as far as I know the Norse religion is a dead one and so are most of the ancient ones. The most important reason is the relationship with Him, I do not know about the religions but I do not remember them saying anything about having a relationship with their god/gods.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
