OK, time for a more feel good thread.

Who is your favorite God (preferably one that is not yours) and why?

Right now, I'd have to say mine is Hanuman. His character is really adaptable to modern themes and there is a lot of really great Hindu-Buddhist imagery depicting him. Agile, a symbol of strength and wisdom, but also with trickery up his sleeve. Also, he's a fricking monkey with a sword.

Vishnu, because he's a funny looking chap. He can be easily adapted into a cartoon character as well, double thumbs up.

Odin because he managed to be a badass and a sage.

Goddess of Whore. She would fuk you till your nuts run dry

Chuck Norris. Reasons not needed.

My favorite goddess would have to be Hel.

I don't know why she's my favorite. Probably because of her description in the Everworld series.

Ishtar...is one of my favourite goddesses. There's no a praticular reason for choosing her. Shes not even THE favorite, but one of.

Can't think of one single fave God at the moment.

Zeus. He's the king of the gods and a ladies man.

And a long time ago I had a rottie named Zeus.

The Living God Emperor of Mankind.

Where is that from?

The Emperor of Japan is my favourite God.

lol from warhammer Slaanesh for sure


but in belief id say Zues, hes just so awsome, beats titans and all kinds of monstors then rapes or has sex with any woman he pleases, cant beat that

Well as you know Hel is the Norse godess of death and the afterlife. I can help you out a bit. She orginally was not supposed to be a scary godess and was seen as benevolent. Hel was not some scary place were people went but a beautiful place to rest when you died.

From my research Hel is also a dark alf and the queen of the dark alfs and dwarves.


I could list lotf of gods and godesses I like but I would probably be here forever and I cant be bothered so i'll justr list them out.


Thor (also the god of marriage, law, promises, fertility, magic and battle)
Odin (im a bit cautious with this god)
Hella
Ivaldi(Father of the elves and dwarves)
Nyx (Greek godess of the night)
Notr(Norse personification of night)
Skadi (Godess of winter and revenge)
Ullr (God of one and one combat, archery, sking and magic)
Volund(King of the elves)
Liu Kang (Chinese god of thunder similar to Thor)
Krishna (Hindu incarnation of Vishnu the sustainer, like Thor kills demons)

...thinks thats it.

He sent his son (or rather himself) so that man could be cleansed of sin and join him in heaven.

Odin stabbed himself with a spear, hung himself from a tree and starved himself for 9 days and nights so he could learn the runes and teach mankind.

Thor kills giants and monsters on a regular basis.

Yeah, for themselves, not for mankind.

Originally posted by Grand_Moff_Gav

Huh? No they dont do it for themselves and mankind.

Thor says explicitly in the Lay of Harbard that if he didnt slay giants the land of mankind AND the gods will fall.

Odin taught himself the runes so he could teach mankind. Odin also gave one of his eyes for knowledge. Odin has also said really his sole purpose is to preserve the existance of man, gods and alfs so they can survive Ragnarok.

If you dont make yourself strong you cant help other people.

Or another reason is that they dont want the pyschological damage of thinking they are going to burn 1000s of years in hell for doign nothing wrong!


Religion is supposed to be fun and if you are serious sacrifices should be made, but you should at least understand why you are doing and want to do it. Compare that to the things that women have to do in Islam for example.

For example sometimes I do painful meditation sessions but I at least want to do it and enjoy doing it.

Well its like this. I belive In Allah, Jehovah, Zeus, Odin and Thor. All religons are SUPPOSED to teach the same truth ultmiately but the religon you choose is your indivdiual truth. I ultimately think the religon we choose is who we are, its not just a matter of preference there is a spirtual reason why we are drawn towards certain religons.

Ok this is what I mean thinking that your going to go to hell because:

1. You havent got a beard.
2. You trousers go beyond you ankle.
3. If you go to Universcityity with women
4. The rest of the other stupid nonsense they tell you that you have to do.

Hell if you want to be good at anything you ahve to make sacrifices the difference betweeen Heatheism and Abrahimic religons is that the rules are common sense "treat others how you want to be treated", you dont have rules that dont make any sense and are unproductive.

The reason why you have so much dogma in Abrahimic religons (I know this is not the case for all people) is because they were used to control people, where as Heathenism was just the religon of the Norse people

How do I feel about religon? Well its like this I havent officilay accepted Heathensim yet but im quite sure I will accept it fully in the future. I take religon very serioulsy and I belive I should sacrifice my life if I had to but at the sametime religon should be fun as well.

Sorry dont get you.

Anyway this is what I think of atheism, bare in mind of course im open to changing my mind, im not asking you to refute what im saying but to understand.

This is what atheism is to me....its like looking at something and only seeing half of it. Ok lets say reality is a six sided dice. An athiest would only see three sides but the spritual person would see all six sides of the dice. But because you only sere three sides this affects your view of reality, its a limiting point of view. (best analogy I could think of off the top of my head)

I also think that the concept of atheism will evolve. I think we will find the existance of gods and superntaural eventually through science but what will happen is our concept of god and supernatural will change. For example we know that gods exist but a god will become something like...I dunno a star. Impressive but no big deal.

Hey..where did everyone go.

Originally posted by Bardock42

Well heres why I belive it.

1. When I was muslim several people saw a Jinn go into my room. They described it as being a shadow in the form of a man. I dont belive Islam is THE truth.

2. Miracles happening to different sorts of religous people. I once prayed to Mary and a plant that had been dead for days came back to life.

3. Existance of chi and meditation. Yes im sure that just because I can see gods in themseles does not prove their existance for certain, but the thing is chi can be projected into other people. This is why those monks were able to dry those towels in the freezing cold.

When asked how they do it they said they visualise a flame. We cannot see the flame but we can see the affects of the flame ie drying the towels. If the heat generated by those guys was warm enough to dry towels in the freezing cold then it must be powerful enough to make other people feel it, therefore they could project the image of something and eventhough you may not be able to see what they are projecting you will feel the affects of it.

Originally posted by Grand_Moff_Gav

It explains why different people with different religous beliefs all experience miracles that confirm their faith.

Also the concept of God is that he is infinite and therefore take an infinite number of forms therefore God can be Jehovah, Allah, Thor, Odin etc. It is illogical to think that God can only be Jehovah.

Well not really. If you see it from the point of view that reality is infinite then there are infinite number of possibilities and how can reality not be infinite? I cant explain it proprely but you cant get something from nothing, so that thing that created reality must have always existed. My head hurts.

So Can Thor Be Considered As A Patron Of Spiritual Enlightenment?

1. Freya is said to have taught the gods of the Aesir the magical arts when she arrived in Asgard. This would include Thor.

2. There are references in both the sagas and the surviving runic monuments that Thor was asked to perform magic by his worshippers.

3. The sagas claim that Thor can influence dreams, strong evidence of shamanic ability.

4. Thor can appear instantly where he is needed, such as in the tale of Building of Asgard's wall. Either his goats can run very fast or he can magically move from one place to another.

5. There has been much academic debate on possible hidden meanings in the Tale of Geirrod, in which Thor trades his hammer for a witchwoman's staff and is forced to cross a river of giantess's urine. Suggestions vary from a journey of shamanic initiation to a creation myth. It is also interesting to note that the staff was the mark of office of the female magic working in the north.

6. Several myths refer to Thor calling on a reserve of magical power to increase his strength (The Lay of Hymir, The Tale of Geirrod). This allows him to increase in size until he stands 'as high as heaven'. If this isn't magical power I don't know what is.

7. Thor fools Hymir by arriving in the form of a young boy, this is an example of shapeshifting, a talent of the god often overlooked.

8. When compared to the classical pantheon, Thor is compared to Jove, thus Jovis Dais is our Thursday. Thor shares many of Jove's attributes including an interest in law and order and his role as benevolent protector. Jove does not suffer from accusations of stupidity and occupies a position of unquestioned supremacy among the Roman gods.

9. Thor is frequently invoked (more so apparently than any other Norse deity) for the consecration and hallowing of religious artefacts and ceremonies. Thus Thor must be considered to be in tune with spirituality.

10. Thor's hammer has no spiritual characteristics and is clearly not the source of Thor's consecrating power. (Its attributes are listed in the Edda, it cannot be broken, cannot miss its mark, can change in size and always returns to Thor's hand when thrown. Although magical these qualities do not explain the symbol was used to hallow.) This strongly suggests that the hammer is used in this context because it is Thor's personal symbol.

11. It is not Thor's hammer that gives him control over the weather and thunder. This power appears to be part of his very being. Again this is a magical ability.

12. Thor is shown on many of the surviving hammer amulets in the form of a bird, probably an eagle. As this symbolism is not explained in the myths and sagas it appears to be a shamanic form of the god which has not been recorded. This would tie in with thunder bird beliefs from across the globe.

13. In the Eddic tale of Balder's funeral celebrations it is Thor who among all the gods acts as a priest and blesses the pyre.

14. Thor has the power to raise the dead (Myth of Utgardaloki)

15. Thor decrees the fate of Starkard in King Gautrek's Saga. This shows he has the ability to manipulate future events.

16. Thor is the companion of Loki, probably the most daring user of magical power among all the gods and goddesses, some of Loki's knowledge must have been passed on.

17. Thor is depicted in later artwork as having a halo of fire and or stars, and is well known for having a fiery gaze. Of all the gods and goddesses described in the myths he is the least 'human' in appearance. This would suggest that it was recognised that Thor is closer to the elemental forces he represents and controls than the other deities, and therefore very much part of the spiritual life force. Before anyone claims that Thor only represents the element of fire, remember he is very close to all four elements.

18. Thor is more associated with star constellations than any other Norse deity. He is also credited with placing the stars Aurvandil (story of Hrungnir) and Thiassi's eyes (version given in the Lay of Harbard) in the heavens. These are aspects of creation.

19. According to Berlams Saga, Thor is the father of nine of the Norns.

20. One of Thor's quests in the myths is the search for a cauldron, cauldrons often represent spiritual knowledge such as the cauldrons of mead won by Odin.

21. Thor's bizarre tactics in Egil and Asmund's Saga (the story of Eaglebeak) suggests a knowledge of the future. As Thor is the brother of the goddess Frigg (who knows the future but doesn't speak of it) and wife of Sif, who Snorri names as a seeress and father of nine Norns this is far from improbable.

22. Again in Eaglebeak Thor blesses the farm so it has an improbable yeild, another aspect of magical ability.

23. Some of the most complex Norse poetry was written in Thor's honour, the obvious examples being the poetic versions of the tales of Geirrod and Hrungnir preseved in Snorri's Edda. Such elaborate work would not have been dedicated to Thor if he was not considered a connoisseur of the poetic arts. His interest in poetic kennings revealed in his intellectual contest with Alvis also suggests this is the case.

24. The heathen Icelandic legal oath named an 'almighty god' alongside Frey and Njord, this is most certainly Thor the patron of the Althing. 'Almighty' suggests that Thor was considered to be well qualified in all aspects of godhood, and not just good at wacking things.

25. If Thor is not able to provide for his followers spiritual needs, why was he so popular in the past and why is he so popular now?

I will let the evidence speak for itself. If Mike wants an end to the bickering about the term Odinism, it will cease when he and others of his ilk stop trying to apply it to folk who do not include the god in their worship and have little interest the battlegod at all. It is a nonsensical term equivalent to calling all monotheists (i.e. Jews and Muslims) Christians, and no one would be surprised if some of them got very miffed. It may be that Odin is better known to the general public than many other deities, but that is no excuse to insult heathens by using an inappropriate blanket term.

As a follower of Thor I would say that Thor is almost certainly now better known and understood by the general public than Odin. Thanks to the complimentary (if laughable) portrayals of the god as a prominent superhero by Marvel Comics Inc and as an intergalactic peacekeeper by the producers of the Stargate television series. So I am first a friend of Thor, second a heathen but never, never, never an Odinist.

None really.

Bare in mind also Loki has been tricked by Utgard-Loki, almost killed by dwarves and Odin has been tricked by his wife on numerous occassions, but Thor gets the stick. Thanks Marvel

Nope. He is just as good as Odin and Loki. What gets me miffed is people try to say that Thor is just a giant smasher, he is more complicated than that.

For example people always go on about how Odin is a sage and has magical powers but due to ignorance forget that Thor was known for his wisdom and magical powers as well. Hes not just a plodding giant smasher!

Yeah, but if he has the skills Odin and Loki has, plus this great strenght...isn't he better then?

Originally posted by Bardock42

No because every good is special in there own way. For example Loki does not have great strength but he is more devious than Thor. Sure Thor can be devious as well but because of his honest nature this sometimes enables him to be tricked. Every good has there waeknesses and advantages.

Lets take Loki. Loki has a habit of ****ing things up, but the thing is if he didnt **** things up the gods would be dead. Lets give some examples. It because Loki cuts Sifs hair that the gods have the treasures of the gods. Thors hammer being one of them. It because Loki kills Balder that he remains in Hell when Raganorak occurs. If Loki hadnt killed Balder, Balder may not have been able to be the new ruler of the gods.

Whenever Loki messes things up, Thor or and the other gods force him to repair the damage and most of them time the gods gets something even greater in return.

Also Loki created the World Serpent which is supposed to kill Thor and the Fenris wolf which is supposed to kill Odin.

I hope that makes sense.
