I don't care. I don't actually have a problem with your disagreement your actually being very immature. Nobody is going to find conclusive proof that the beserkers had meditation practices but as far as im concerned it does make it possible they did. As inimalist said its not conclusive but its something but quite frankly you lot are just being very immature.

so little bear was asleep in a "trance" someone was trying to wake him up to help his brother but he was already on the battlefield helping and fighting in a bear form his spirit had become an animal..

still doesnt explain how he did it... either way it isnt enough to make a connection with the hindi ppl..

also spirits, angels in christian myth also take the shape of animals or possession of animals like doves, talking mules and even communicate in dreams to ppl... god even showed himself as three ppl under a tree some argue they were angels and not god speaking for god.. either way they were presented or alluded to be god..

also gods like Zeus also took animal forms and loved ones to seduce women... native americans believe in astral projection and seeing through the eyes of animals like a bear, wolf, crow... its intoxicating i sometimes like to think i am a wolf while i run the hills while working out it can even feel somewhat real with my breathing and heart pumping feeling the blood coursing through the vein is astral projection, meditation or a trance?

My point that there's not just no proof at all that vikings could stop a sword with their chest isn't immature, it's a fact. One that you can't dispute in any way, shape or form. In fact you admit that it is true.

Or let me put it this way: Why do you believe this when there's no evidence?

Come on man you can't even form a coherent argument to support your claims. It's not immature to call you on your ridiculous bullshit. On the other hand spewing ridiculous bullshit without even pretending to look for support and spending the whole time being unjustifiably condescending is incomparably immature.

i dont think ive ever seen Symmetric chaos cuss outside of a satiric context mmm

oh teh noez! D=

If you can't even have proof that berserkers meditated, how on earth can we believe that they also had iron shirt, and that it can block swords?

Magical thinking.

Only sick people take pills. If I don't take pills I'm not sick.
Evidence is used to support an idea. If I don't have evidence my idea doesn't need support.

Or maybe he be trolling, we hatin'.

The first one is the classic demonstration of magical thinking.

Also am I the first person to notice that somebody made "Magical Thinking" redirect to "Religion" in Wikipedia? If you use lower case you go to the proper article.

Not true. Some take aspirin to regulate their heartbeat.

To be quite honest with you I just think you're just taking offence to it really.

To be quite honest with you, I think you're taking offense that people dared question you and demanded proof of your claims.

That's how it works though, you make a claim, be prepared to prove it with facts or in the very least a logical conclusion. Just saying.

i think he is being annoyed at our dismissive attitude, patronizing comments and overall disrespect toward him when we take jabs at him..

Yeah, I can see that and I agree it's F'd up. So I do apologize for my comments if they were taken offensively by him, though honestly, they were done in humor for the most part; not just to be an @sshole.

But there would have been one way to avoid that, backing up what he said with at least something logical.

we all have bn dismissing his argument since most of it has bn bias and spun in order to fit his argument.. what do we know:

Viking ppl were sea faring ppl..

they raped, pillage and murdered as well as farm..

they new about metal working to make iron/steel weapons

viking breeded and mixed with european ppl including those who had middle eastern ancestry like the russians, czech and just about anybody near the European asian border and middle east area...

little known fact that viking may have made it to the americans settled and interbreeded with a tribe of native americans which would explain certain facial racial features.. from bone features hair and eye color and skin tone..

apparently vikings may have reached india and taken some customs and possibly also interbreeded but i have yet to hear or find any evidence or historical mention of such a thing happening..

the only thing remotely mentioning such a concept i am aware of was hitlers propaganda that the aryan race were the the progenitor of the anglo saxon race like the viking and that they were in actuality atlantean survivors and niphilim.. completely ludacris and something that has to be addressed even though it has no place in history but b/c this disinformation is so prevalent that college courses has to try to separate fact from hitlers occult myth..

in actuality aryan race group were nomadic and were the 1st humans as far as we know to settle and invent agriculture and help build society with basic writing.. aryan simply means the enlighten ones they are what modern society was based on and were the reason we as humans were able to settle and spread out b/c of farming, herding etc etc..

we also know viking drank honey mead and ate shrooms to rile themselves up to a fighting frenzy in order to intimidate their opponents during battle...

they also grappled and wrestled one another for sport and to train.. they settled disputes in fights with the possibility of death also some tribe leaders were also used to settle disputes but that came later as they socially evolved...
theirs more but i am tired of typing

Watch Erik The Viking (1989), not only is it the best Viking movie ever made, it will teach you everything about Vikings.

13th Warrior.

pathfinder seems more historically accurate 😖mart:

watching eric the red now.. rub tart
