Then how do you connect with your god if he isnt relatable
The gods don’t demand like your god
Its about relationship building
Zeus is a tyrant yes, Odin is a tyrant in ways yes. But they dont demand anything
The christian faith is all about relationship building. However our God isn't some warped perversion of humanites 'strengths and weaknessess'
What you call perversion I call natural law
Perfection is a false god
Even christ himself was not perfect in Early life
Elaborate because that is untrue buddy
I was taught a story in CCD as a child where Jesus murdered a child with his powers or some shit
I dont remember details
Dunno what your were learning but that ain't it chief
The story was he was like 3 or something
Sounds like you were lied too
It matters not to me I don’t believe any of the fable
You do you bud
As do you
Live and let live
We share a common enemy that is all that matters
But as you stated, your gods don't demand anything, so why do you care if the democrats continue their degeneracy, and commit whatever crimes they want? Your gods don't demand your 'followers' to have morals.
Thats not true
But you said your gods don't demand anything
They don’t demand worship, but they do have morals we are expected to live by.
do they or don;t they
I misworded
then they DO demand something
Let me give an example
Sounds like a fatal miswording bud
When all men and women die they are to travel to the underworld of Hel ruled by the goddess Hel. There at the well of Urd they are to be judged by the gods. Depending on how you lived you life you have multiple possibilities where you go. But vile criminals and oath breakers are sent to the coldest place Niflheim and are often devoured by the dragon Niddhoggr.
And cease to exist
you see, the christian faith has nothing to do with 'worshiping perfection' in fact, the purpose of Christianity is recognizing yourself as an imperfect human, and thus relying on all all loving God to forgive you of your wrong doings. I.E salvation.
Even warriors go to Hel first before Valhall or Folkvangir
But why do the gods get to deem the humans unfit for valhalla if the gods are just as shitty as the humans?
Lemme guess, might makes right?
Valhalla is not a place for everyone
Let me elaborate
If your gods are relatable to humans that implies they are prone to the exact same flaws and commit just as many wrongdoings as humans. Meaning they are unfit for a position like deeming humans worthy or unworthy, and makes them sound more like tyrants drunk on their own power
Hel is a much better place if its peace you want, not everyone stays there but those who do remain with loved ones in the halls of their fathers. Its been completely projected wrong as a cold and hellish place. If you read ancient texts that survived its described as a warm green place like spring. Thats just one possibility. Valhall on the other hand is a boot camp a place for not the faint of heart. It is a place of constant warfare and training. Where each day during the day you flight till you are slain and at the end of the day you are reborn and feist in Odin’s hall where you speak of your deeds in life and in death. Its not an eternity if you are familiar with Ragnarok which is merely a cycle of rebirth. Folkvangir or Freya’s hall is the complete opposite. She gets half the battle slain and her hall is described as a peaceful hall in a meadow where those who reside paint and live merry until the end
Most of us don’t see Valhall
Depending on which god you were mainly connected with by choice or chosen you may just reside in their halls
