No for real. I am paying them to take out some people I don't like. It's expensive but worth it.

Now those are some real gods! With real character. They had it right back then, they beat the pants off these modern day toddler-gods.
Ice trolls? Been pretty clear on that count.

Its hard to put a price on thorough work, isn't it Dys? The trolls are gone, the Balor/Baldurs of the world, felled. The realms of men can breath once more. To bad they're destined to lose eh? The day the wolves descend and the day that the weapon which struck down the all seeing eye is turned against -us- is soon at hand. I expect to see you swinging the axe.

This is what all religions do. They all stupidly think they got the right god and everyone else picked the wrong one. Nobody wants to consider all god/s are man made.

Maybe that's why Christianity is so mind-bendingly stupid. It's saying, "Look, no one could make this lot up!"

Odin -was- a man, Brian, explicitly so. Still is, and he knows the day of his death, no less. This is the knowledge that grants him power (this is what cost him his eye but granted him the world). Imagine the bravery, imagine the deeds which could be laid at your feet..if you only knew.....The norse pantheon is down here in the mud with us...-slightly- different than the judeo-christian concept - their narratives relate. The norse never thought that their gods were the right gods, or the only gods - nor do modern day asa/vani tru. They were and are, simply, -their- gods.

This thread reminds me of something I read long ago...
Quote:Norse Religion
The most badass of all religions because it's centered around eating meat off the bone, breaking beer mugs on your head and destroying the universe by stabbing demi-gods in the fucking eye with your spear.
See below.
