I am glad to see another odinist on this site, tell me do you belive in the gods or simply the 9 virtues ?
May the gods watch your battles.

You should probably settle down and stop blowing wind in my face, I admitted to posting that in haste. I'm not going to do any more then that to appease someone as angry as you as I don't care about justifying myself to your kind that picks fights so easily like this its not worth it. Please point your sword of testosterone somewhere else.Purtabo said:
Wow, you know. Because I was TOTALLY serious in that post. Your the kind of guy that has to ruin the fun atmosphere at parties by trying to impress everyone by his attitude. Thats exactly what you remind me of and why I'm going to ignore you as a user so I don't have to deal with it.Purtabo said:
Christians tend to not be so touchy about Jesus / God, but making a game where you can kill Muhammed / Allah will get you short-listed for protective custody.Purtabo said:
Case in point: remember those Danish cartoons about Muhammed? Y'know, the ones that caused major rioting leading to some twenty dead, along with multiple attempts on the cartoonists life?
Now shall we compare a few cartoons with the interactive ability to kill all that is holy to them?
I'm sorry, my post seemed immature. I was kinda angry today and I didn't see that you posted that before I finished writing my post. But In all seriousness, I don't think people really care about that sort of thing; I mean people get angry with flag-burning, bible and Quaran burnings, but not enough to start a war, that is just silly. I don't think putting it in a digital medium makes any difference. As someone said, "who cares if you offend someone! Fuck-em! People get offended at the tiniest shit! If someone says; Ohhh wah wah i'm offended..., you say: Fuck you! I don't give a shit about what you think, what you do or WHO you do"Zeckt said:

I've heard of people in the armed forces getting "Jedi" on their dogtags as their religion. If you make yourself sound convincing enough, you can use that "it's my freedom of religion" line to get just about anything on there.TheBobmus said:

As for Odinist, probably not - in the British army our dogtags have a 2 letter code for religion (RC=Roman Catholic, CE=Church of England, etc.), with pagan being(IIRC) - OP(other
agan)), Dunno about Americans though.I wouldn't see how his belief in a magic tree is any crazier than the belief in an immaculately conceived magic zombie.TheBobmus said:
ok even i'll admit that when i pressed post, i probably should have worded that differently. my badKeltrick said:
im just a little tired of people confusing Norse Paganism with Satanism or some sort of witch cult. we are normal people. we don't sacrifice humans and we don't use the sacred runes to supposedly tell our futures. once again, my bad.
Hey good to meet you!m1garand23 said:
I do observe the Gods to the best of my ability. i pray when i can and i blot on a regular basis on the big holidays. Im not a member of one of the Odinist groups like the Odinic Rite or anything so i don't really claim observe their noble virtues, I've just always acted in that way.
Odinism is the modern-day reincarnation of the faith that was observed by the Germanic peoples of north-western Europe before the introduction of Christianity to the continent. But yes we do believe in the "old" Gods as many people may come to call them. The king of our pantheon is Odin, the wisest of our Gods. We try as hard as we can to distance ourselves from monotheist traditions. We do not cower to The Gods, we do not lay down to get the shit kicked out of us in the hope that our gods will protect us like a shepherd protects his flock. We are a warrior faith, we approach our gods with heads held high, proud. we defend ourselves, our kin, and our folk with our own hands, not with unbacked fearful prayer to a god that demands obedience and fear.DJjaffacake said:
no actually Viking : battle for Asgard is a shitty game with horrible controls and graphics. good idea, poor execution. oh and im not going be suing marvel over their shitty portrayal of the Gods or anything along those lines. that's just silly.Zeckt said:
i knew that if i called it Mjolnir people would get confused. so i just called it Thor's Hammer. much simpler.lax4life said:
I'm glad I got your apology quote before I ignored you Purtabo It's okay we all have our bad days I admit to not being the sharpest knife in the drawer so sometimes I do say something stupid I admit so I do tend to get a little defensively upset with it so lets both chill out, were all friends here.
My lover is a Wiccan and with that in mind, I can tell you a fun little fact: there are so many different theological positions in Wicca. For instance, a Wiccan can choose to worship Lucifer, certainly, but some also choose to worship multiple deities, goddess worship, and some even follow the monotheistic Abrahamic God. My lover falls into this last category; she chooses to believe in the Christian God. Funny, innit? Wiccans are encouraged to believe in whatever they want to.Johnny Reb said:
As for your Odinism being recognized by the army, I hope it works out for you!
really now? well i suppose you do learn something new everyday.AngelOfBlueRoses said:
but how does that work. she believes in the Abrahamic god, but how does she worship him that sets her apart from the Christians or Jews?
