    Rambling about an idea on what has happened to the European gods after the Saxon wars.

    I've been thinking about it and I have a very basic mental problem: If you're right (and I have no reason to believe otherwise), everything we know about the gods is nothing more than a figment of our imagination and the idea of a fulltrui is little more than the teddy bear we had as a toddler...

    Rambling about an idea on what has happened to the European gods after the Saxon wars.

    Ah, but Surtur's firestorm happens after the flood. Anyway, details. This is actually a good point. It looks like I'm going to have to rethink my line of argument. How indelicate. :sunflower:

    Rambling about an idea on what has happened to the European gods after the Saxon wars.

    And/or the water death of the universe? Metaphysics is often a bad counsellor in religious questions, that's true. (Religion itself is often an opponent of metaphysics.) But if Ragnarök is in full swing, the gods have other things to worry about than humanity at the moment. That doesn't seem to...

    Rambling about an idea on what has happened to the European gods after the Saxon wars.

    To argue with sufficient precision, I have also forgotten Iðunn's apples, which would at least answer the question of the lifespan of a god. But if Ragnarök is something that happens around us all the time, why are the sun and moon still in place? As far as I can see, life on Earth is still a...

    Do the gods "intervene?"

    Would explain platypuses though.

    Why are people on the internet highly sexual but people out in public aren't ?

    I'm at least as sexual in real life as I am online (at least as long as my aging process allows me to be), but I understand that many people online adopt an avatar that pretends to be different from their true personality. Especially in the area of sexuality, this has an obvious advantage: on...

    Rambling about an idea on what has happened to the European gods after the Saxon wars.

    I think I've found a solution to the problem that the gods known to us (at least by name...) have a family tree break of about a thousand years, so we don't really know whether their great-grandchildren have taken over their job in the meantime. (What happened in the pantheon since the Saxon...

    Do the gods "intervene?"

    In my experience, some gods tend to interfere playfully in people's everyday lives. Abrahamic god(s) are not among them.

    One God or many gods

    So, "god" as a collective, like the Borg?

    One God or many gods

    It is completely illogical to assume that not many gods, who are not always in agreement with each other, are responsible for every single aspect of this wondrous world, but rather one single god. Especially as it is clear where the many gods come from - the one god, however, remains silent...

    Inter-Political? Marriages

    I have reached a point where my political beliefs no longer play a role in a relationship. I am happy to answer questions, but I have no intention of telling my partners the right or wrong way to do things. Religion and politics are not entirely different in this respect. The last argument I...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    I at least find it interesting how a thread on the topic "Why don't we all love each other so much?" now spans thirteen of fourteen pages and deals almost exclusively with the question of why "we all" do not finally share the Baha'i view of God, man and the world. Well, my gods don't think very...
