[Thoth-Amon]

All youve done so far is saying that you're converting to Odinism because you're not going to be an Atheist, or a Muslim, or a Buddhist, or a Hindu, or even a Satanist because those belief systems don't make sense to you. And that Odinism makes you less self centered and all that, even though you admit you don't know much about the religion yet. There is absolutely no logic involved here.

Agreed.

 

[Carcassian]

I don't see what's so hard about being a moral person without submitting to a given set of principles. I've been doing it for many years. Odin is about as real as any other god, so why follow his teachings? Why not just, I don't know, be moral? Although many, if not most would disagree, I hold that morality is not tied to religion exclusively.

Agreed.

To be honest, Odin appears to have been a sneaky, backstabbing fucker - not particularly moral either.

I think some of those horrid shouty skin head fellows have been filling your head full of supremecist shite mate. I know, I know, it's tempting to get a couple of runes tatoo'd on your arms, grow a big, bushy beard and warble on about how your Northern European ancestors sailed the seas in boats like big butch vikings, but the essential facts are:

a) You live in Ohio.

b) You aren't a viking.

c) You live in the 21st century. The chances of you dying with a sword in your hand are pretty slim unless you get a heart attack live action role-playing, and in that occasion, I'm not sure the gates of Valhalla will open if you were holding a rubber sword.

d) This whole "it's my heritage" thing is bogus; even most modern Scandinavians would have the same amount of similarity to the Vikings as I would have to some fucking druid or highland warrior (i.e. none).

e) Following a moral code is not co-terminous with religion.

f) Are there many long halls brimming with mead and Valkyries in Ohio?

Vikings. Cool to sing about. Great people to be played by Ernest Borgnine in films with Tony Curtis. Not especially relevant to base a lifestyle on, unless you're in Amon Amarth and it sells T-Shirts to middle class white suburban kids yearning to get in touch with their "heritage"

You guys hear that? I think Krigloch just ran into his own sword.

 

[PanzerKunt]

Newborn Odinist from Ohio = teen angst
End of story

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

But you yourself admitted you don't believe in Odin...

for the most part no I dont, but thats what I've read from actual Odinists.

and the Norse/Germanic gods were worshipped by more than just vikings...

 

[Susperia]

Holy crap Carcassian I think I fell in love with you during that speech.

 

[PanzerKunt]

Run Carcassian, run!

We make a good tag team.

 

[cookiecutter]

If you need a religion to make you moral, is that really a good thing?

 

[EGOR]

We make a good tag team.

Of course its perfectly normal to protect your own culture, especially in this day and age and especially out here in Europe, Where the castle gates are buckling under the weight of immigrants wanting to be allowed into "Whites Ville". The situation as regards this and the potential future dangers here in Europe are dangerous . it may get similar to what has happened in the past Germany 1932...when the Jews suffered. A liberal minded fool will want to protect a tiny Rainforest tribe from extinction but will totally be obliveous to his Own tribes future. Thats not just skin colour, but do we really want to see Mosques in every city on the planet. Already we are all Fat from Mcdonalds being on every corner. Isnt difference good.A thin line is developing at this moment subconciously amongst people in Europe, and what it really comes down to is your countries Heritage. Thats not Rascist...its just normal. Take Religeon out of the loop. Think about your country and 10s of thousands of years of history....thats important stuff and its happening now, protect your heritage, because "they" protect theres.

[Krigloch the Furious]

So what's the point other than it looking cool?

looking cool?

 

[Ender Rises]

Krig looks cool?

Uh, no. No offense Krig.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Yeah Norse stuff looks cool... y'know.

 

[ohiogrinder]

Ohiogrinder looks about 0% scandinavian.

looks don't matter, I'm pretty much 99.9% Anglo-Celtic

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Yeah Norse stuff looks cool... y'know.

I dont care what it looks like, my German ancestors worshipped the norse gods, Im going to respect that. I could have very easily picked the Slavic or Baltic Mythology, but im more German than Polish, Austrian, and Lithuanian. Nature religions, I have respect for them

 

[Ender Rises]

And it matters what you look like ro what your heritage is? It's a religon. Apart from Judiasm, heritage doesn't count for shit.

 

[R.I.P.2]

looks don't matter, I'm pretty much 99.9% Anglo-Celtic
