"It's a theology that celebrates raw physical power and domination, and that is why I think it is so popular among prison inmates

Still beats the heck out of following the moon-god worhipping pedophile muhammed (may he rot in hell between 2 pigs for all eternety) and the accursed evil text the quran.

White supremacists make up only a small portion of Asatruars, and most inmates who follow the religion do not use it to push hate-filled, violent agendas, she said.

Asatru - it's a religion of peace.

Has Islam lost its luster?

[Slings and Arrows]

You mean all that time they were talking about prison WITCHES?

[Urbane_Guerilla]

In other words, the same reason other prisoners turn to mohammedanism. It validates and justifies their criminal mentality.

not been taking the religion seriously and had to die to protect the honor of the gods.

Sounds like Muhammad and Norse shared notes. All cults seem to have fundamental tenets, namely death, murder, and intimidation through violence.

It is a polytheistic, pre-Christian faith ...

When a polytheist sneezes do you say "Gods bless you"?

Here in Texas, Paganism sorta looses its luster the night before execution. Yep, when 'Ol Pagan boy gets strapped in for THE NEEDLE, we usually hear prayers in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Funny how that works!

Here's two of em practicing their new religion.

STAUNTON, Va. — A pagan religion that some experts say can be interpreted as encouraging violence is gaining popularity among prison inmates, one of whom is scheduled to be executed this week for killing a fellow prisoner at the foot of an altar.

Not surprising since liberals have been successful lately in keeping Christianity out of prisons.

Being in a country that prides itself on freedom of religion , I guess we have to learn to put up with a lot of strange religions ,cults, devil worshippers, whatever.

There mmust be a limit somewhere, we just havent found it yet. In the meantime lets give this guy a good endoff. AMF pal,have a good hereafter, hope you like the heat.

These people all claim to be pagans, but you don't see anyone worshiping Jupiter anymore.

[metmom]

Asatru? Sounds an awful lot loke Ashtorah to me, the one from the Old Testament.

[mugs99]

A pagan religion that some experts say can be interpreted as encouraging violence...
LOL...and some experts say the same about Christianity.

[Dead Corpse]

Becoming a martyr is no part of Asatru. Never was. Never will be. The only "justification" for violence is in retaliation for an attack. The Havamal has a lot to say about idiots and braggerts thinking to use power, position, or false pretenses to give themselves a boost.

Like so many other good philosophies, there are people too stupid, or too twisted, to follow it. Muslims have their Islamic fascists, Christians have their Westboro Baptists, and it looks like the Asatruar are stuck with knuckle draggin neaderthals without the brain power equal to a mouses fart.

[Question_Assumptions]

Racist, anti-semitic, and ruthless groups must ultimately abandon or distance themselves from the Bible and Christianity because Christianity is inherently incompatible with with racism, anti-semitism, and ruthlessness.

[tkathy]

Islam is the most violent pagan belief system the world has ever seen.

"What makes Odinists dangerous is the fact that many believe in the necessity of becoming martyrs for their cause," the report said.

Hmmmmm.....where have I heard that before?
