Heathen Board

He he - they really had me fooled anyway! :lol: I know I'm not the only one either because the time I was there (a while back), some people were going in and actually being persuaded by the scriptural BS and being "saved"! :o :D One Danish guy (who actually sounded to me to be rather lost ...

I was hoping that's what it was - there really are people out there though who believe that stuff though, that's the scary thing (you're damn right about Poe's Law...) I joined and got a very abusive private message from one of the moderators for being Heathen. I'm guessing that was just part of the...

I realized how bad things had gotten when I happened upon the den of ignorance and evil intent that is the Landover Baptist Church forum - I'd advise NOT to read if you've got a nice relaxed evening planned. These guys really know how to infuriate - not only do they hate us and wish us all dead and ...

Just to add a little note here - we have the something like this too in the UK, as in the Christian "authoritarian right" end of the political spectrum on our tail trying to make us look at the very least foolish, at worst to have our rights to claim status as religion taken away. A great ...

Thing is as well, I have the greatest respect for your founding fathers precisely because they were for freedom of religion (amongst other things) - of course it's a complete fallacy peddled by the Christian fundamentalists that the US was founded specifically on Christian values, as described in th...

Bloodless? What about the atrocities committed by Olaf the Lawbreaker, that dirty christian coward who forced fed Raud a live snake, put hot embers on Eyvind's stomach until his body burst, cut out Guthroth's tongue, ect.? In Iceland I know there's a story about how they converted fairly 'peacefull...

Probably the most clear cut evidence of Heathens converting in light of kings'luck takes place in Northumbria, because there were conversions when Christian kings won battles, then mass apostasy when the odd Heathen king won - it's well documented in the historical record and is a stark example of t...

So you think the lore would've been properly vetted had heathenry won the heathen vs christian conversion era? That's exactly what I'm saying, and that's what my Heathen ancestors seemed to think too. They wouldn't follow kings who appeared to be down on their luck - rightly or wrongly, that's just...

The lore is just UPG that has stood the test of time, and has been vetted through experience. The problem with this idea though is that the elder thew did not stand the test of time. It survived for so long probably because it hadn't been challenged too much by outside forces up to the point of the...
