God or No God?

Not much. I just get the impression from it that instead of any sort of military prowess is shown not by actual victories, but by how many enemies you can kill with your bare hands
nothing to do with Norse mythology at all, Norse mythology alike most mythologies is like your everyday day time soap opera, full of intrigues and strategic moves.
The barbaric routine you mentioned is the work of the christian church, they tried to undermine the believes and mythologies of other cultures the best way they could..........make it kind of evil and pagan.

The Vikings were just like any other army, the progress was shown in won battles not how many enemies slain, the latter was the work of "skaldene"( the scalds) to praise the "bad asses" of the battles to boost/promote the outstanding fighters because rank and social position.
of course the exaggeration of the deeds of prominent warriors went beyond the truth. The worse the deed the higher your rank and easier the access to Valhall was ensured ( you had to die of a wound to enter Valhall though .)

And all the gods were mortal.

Mr. Famous> Yeah, I’ve explained about Big Bang countless times here. What do you need to know.

Okay, so you believe in he Christian God? Why him? Why not some other divinity?

Ytaker> “Juppiter is just the Roman of "Zeus Pater" (father Zeus).”
Yes, and? The Romans worshipped Jupiter and co. The Greek worshipped Zeus and co.? What’s your point?

” Omega has suggested that there were quantum waves, but I'm not sure whether that has any evidence.”
Oh, I suppose you can drown me in evidence of some divinity? Hm?
No?
I thought so!

Feceman> ” We interact with time by traveling in a linear path through it. We cannot go backwards, side-to-side, or up and down in time. We can't control the pace in which we travel through it.”
Want a 101 on Relativity??
And your talk about time does little to answer who created God. If Gods always been there, why the heck did he wait an infinity of time to create the Universe? (Infinity-13,7 billion years = infinity).

Finti> I don’t think Ytaker knows much about history. He/she claimed Pharaohs were elected. 😄

I was talking about time because we were talking about God and the time frame of when He came into existence. And I have no idea what the last part in parentheses means. I would assume (uh-oh...) that you are saying that 13.7 billion years is the age of the universe. If that is correct, show me the proof. If not, elaborate.

I'm no expert on the big bang theory but I believe that's the estimate for how old the universe is. If you want to do research on it:

They were worshiping the same God? Just a bit of enriching trivia.

Is that the point? I though scientific theories had to be backed by evidence. Even if there's no evidence for God, if you put forward a theory there must be some evidence for your Theory. The existence or non-existence of evidence for another subject is immaterial.

Immature. I asked if you were willing to drop the subject, gave you the last word. You took it, and now you resurrect the subject. If you want to continue, tell me. Try to act vaguely your age.

Try to act vaguely your age
oh we just goof around to fit your age Ytaker

Come now, let's be nice and act as adults. We don't need to resort to name-calling to prove a point, do we?

"oh we just goof around to fit your age Ytaker"

🙄 Oh now that was mature finti rolleyes1

Oh now that was mature finti
that was done so to underline the point Morningstar 🙄 🙄 yawn

Do I belive in God? When I was younger I certainly did. Nowadays I stay more in the philosophical area rather than the faithful area. I don't have any reasons to question a person's beliefs. To each his own. As for evolution it is also fine by me. If you're tolerant of others you're cool in my book. If you condemn people for their beliefs or faith then in my book you can go shit yourself as far as I care.

I do plain and simple

for what reasons?

God or No God?

This is to primarily find out how many Atheists there are out there. If you believe in a "Supreme Being" click the appropriate button. If you believe in "No Diety" do the same...

Maybe we'll get into a thurough discussion with time?

Try to keep it civil, please.

Personally, I'm an Atheist and I wanted to know(with such a diverse group of people that we have here, I thought this would be the best place) if I(and people like myself) are as outnumbered as we are in my hometown...

No, there is no god

Of course there is a God.

No, there isnt

Yes, there is.(But that's just my opinion, and I didn't ask anyone to believe it.)

No there isn'T (I ask everyone to belive it)

Yes, there is.
