Concur. [and with myself, too, I guess. Seems likely. But I don't think it's limited to monotheists; the Asatruist Nine Noble Virtues"

I'm not surprised that you would quote a "religion" reinvented and adopted primarily by white-power aryan supremacists, based on your previous posts.

Well, if there were any white power aryan supremacists reinventing and adopting Odinism when I lived in the Faroes in the mid-1960s and first encountered those still practicing the *Old Religion*, you could be right. It was however pretty difficult to ignore, being our family was resident in Tórshavn, though Lutherans seemed predominant.

But it was in the comparative religion class taught by my Rabbi that I learned enough about those beliefs to begin to understand and appreciate their attraction to a feudal and seafaring people of the First Millennia. Or this one.

You ought to try that *learning* thing sometime....

Gosh, I'm so ignorant because I don't know your personal history, or about the interests of some French fags in the '60s in Odin fairy tales! So, so ignorant!

It's not the '60s and most of the Odin-followers these days are all neo-Nazi skinheads. Ignorant me for taking what you wrote in the context of the time and place we live, as opposed to some fruitcake fairytale followers in France 45 years ago.
