No, seriously, why is a clearly mythological Yahweh a necessary being, but not Odin?

Your point is invalidated by reason, not ridicule.

Odin is prophecied by Jesus in Mathew 6:22 :


"The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

But the point of the thread isn't even metaphysical. It's epistemological. How the hell do you disprove Odin? -- Whether he's necessary or not, you can't do it.

I've always loved the way theists make up magic words and phrases and think that's the end of a discussion.

"Necessary being?"

WTF?

Indeed. Air IS necessary. A god, not so much.

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
