goadin' odin
Christianity is often mistaken as a European religion. In truth, it's a Middle Eastern meme which had better success fooling Europeans than Middle Easterners. Before Christ's doctrine of masochistic turd-munchin' submissiveness came and ate Europe's soul, most of the native Euro-religions were keener on power and blood-drinking and shoving heads on sticks than they were about turning the other cheek. Odin was an ass-kicking, pissed-off, buffed-out grandfather type worshiped by ancient Germanic and Scandinavian tribes. Contrary to the idiotic propaganda of certain misinformed anti-hate groups, he was not worshiped by Hitler's crew; in fact, Adolf swore allegiance to Christianity (which was, er, founded by a Jew), and his underlings actively persecuted Odinists. But in yet another of the eternal popcorn string of ironies with which this world tortures me, one now sees Americans of Euro ancestry pleading for the right to worship as their "indigenous" forefathers once did before the Christian missionaries came with a sword in one hand and a Bible in the other. Modern Odinists remind me of the sad Indians who'd gather on the prison yard to beat their tom-toms and mewl their off-key chants. All they seem to want is the right to worship the God that let them down.
For proof that "White Power" has ceased to be a threat to anyone except those who espouse it, one need only consider how many formerly loudmouthed Nazi types have fled to the religious sanctuary of Odinism.
