I think I found a great religion. The first temple in over 1000 years is being built for the Norse Gods.

I saw that. I thought it was pretty cool and seems pretty harmless. Just worshiping the sun and seasons and taking the stories of the gods as metaphors for the most part, from what I read about it. For me though, I'd have to opt out. Even if it was an "atheist religion" like Lavayan Satansim, I don't like herd mentality and I even dislike the thought of me being a part of herd mentality even more. No matter what it is.
Long as no one comes and bombs my house :eyes:
Not if I have to dress up for it.
What's their policy on beer and wenches?
Vestal virgins? Probably not. Shield maidens? I could go with that. If "maiden" was optional.
If I lived in Iceland, I would most certainly join, that is amazing :D.

I'd hazard a guess that they're pro on both. In Iceland, I'd imagine that those are the top two methods of staying warm.
I'll be passing through Iceland in June. Wish I had time for a side trip.
They don't call it Iceland for nothing. I hate the cold. Of course in front of a fire place with a beautiful blue eyed blond would keep me warm even if she were frigid. :eek: :pidu: :super: Solitary
The ritual of Blot…..really….Blot? Thats the best they could come up with? I could see if it was about hammering a virgin and everybody gets to see the blood stain…….well……maybe not really after all, we can't go around saying we should have a religion that advocates raping virgins eh?
What? Not even an honorable mention for FSM?
Pastafarian Forever.
Amen.

why is this shit necessary? i finally broke free of the need to cling to something other than reality...or distort reality to mean something other than it does. why not just appreciate reality for reality?
:/
