Ask 10 Heathens what they all believe about Woden/Odin/Óðinn/Godan/Wotan/*Wodanaz, and you'll get about 200 different answers... and probably start a barfight. :cool:

The bar fight only requires two Heathens and one answer: "You're doing it wrong". :D

With an uppercase "H", however, it denotes a specific thing. You're a heathen, but not a Heathen, if you understand my meaning.
Beg to differ (always with this view).No book, many Gods, neither of Adam nor of Noah, neither of Solomon nor of David. Capital 'H' or a small 'h', a Hindu is a heathen. European heathens may not accept it, but part of their heritage is the same as part of my heritage - Aryan.

Regardless, this is not a suitable discussion for someone's introduction thread. Would you prefer to start your own thread about this topic, say, in Same Faith Debates?

The lowercase words? Mostly the same as the difference between soda and pop.

Its like god and God. Its cultural too. When I see God, I think of Abrahamic God. When I read god, I think any deity or entity as a person or object of worship.

In my generation, we used Soda. If I asked my sister to get me some Pop, she'd call me old. So, spelling has a lot of influence on meaning.

We call such distinctions "dialectical." :) (I think there's some US dialects that still say "pop", but mine is not one of them.)
