Why would you be miles apart in theology?

"Why would you be miles apart in theology?"

Asatru, as I understand it and that understanding may be imperfect, is the religion of Nordic paganism and involves the acknowledgment of more than one divine entity. In addition, the concept of salvation as it is understood within traditional Christianity is absent.

As a Christian, these two issues alone would put us "miles apart". There are obviously many others. That said, the Asatru I have met do share a lot of social values with me even though we part company at religion. I hope that answered it for you!
