A modern version of Norse paganism has been gaining popularity in recent years as followers see the stories as metaphors for life not worship of the gods

I found my new place of worship.
Where do I sign up?
What if Odin is not pleased with the temple and come to destroy everyone? Are they sure this is the direction their country should be going in?
I’m taking a pilgrimage.
Well in Iceland 80% of the population believe in fairies and are too chill, if Odin came down to smite em I dont think they would GAF.
I am pleased for reasons you heathens cant even comprehend.
OMG, I’m going to retire to a Scandinavian country and start a Troll worshiping cult. This is my new calling in life now. I’ve always wanted to go to Scandinavia, and now I have a purpose: to leads my people to their rightful ownership of swamp and forest!
I’m not even joking. I’m totally starting a Troll forge to make a legendary Troll weapon on.
Don’t you mean Dwarf?
Na, Trolls are more fun. Some weapon forged of unholy metal unearthed by a volcano. Swamp ore infused with the wicked voice of an evil subterranean spirit that speaks to its finder, prompting it to craft the fell metal into an instrument of war.
Or so the legend goes, anyhow.
inb4 20 years from now there are people legit believing the stories as real.
(idly wonders how popular The Avengers is in Iceland)
As many jokes as could be made about this, this is pretty fascinating from several points of views, especially since the people without the organization itself have said that they’re not taking the stories literally. So many damn problems would be solved if other religions just took things in their holy books as metaphors rather than literal fundamentalist readings…
I sincerely wish them nothing but luck.
In before 20 years from now people starting think that Thor was in reality a biopic and that Chris Hemsworth was His latest incarnation (despite being blond instead of red-headed).
The sanctity of Thor 2: Dark World will still be hotly debated though.
The 3 on the right don’t look like they are taking this seriously.
InB4 Westboro Baptist Church
The one on the left of those 3 looks straight up concerned at the mental health of the others.
so are the Thor comics our bible now?
also,
It will be turned into a mosque within 10 years.
We get “random dead pagan religion is being resurrected” news every 3-5 years. I seriously don’t understand why Atheists love posting these articles and inserting random anti-christian meme’s. Ok, i get it… theists should stop believing that we were created and accept that we just poofed out of nowhere; to be against circumcision but support sex changes; and to be ok with Scat porn.
We do not want to view the world that way, we don’t like to live in a country that is runned by communism, we don’t want to shit/piss on eachother for sexual pleasure. Most of us just want others to know that there is more to life than just being creatures of some spec of dust in the universe called earth that will one day cease to exist, and most of us want the return of that One.Great.Poster who was never defeated in SRK religion threads!

Erm, isn’t that basically what the Christian faith claims? That God created the whole universe out of nowhere (“ex nihilo”)?
I doubt that any atheist claims that, though.
Isn’t that basically what the Christian faith claims? That God created man from the dust of the earth (Genesis 2:7)?
Whoa.
Whoa.
What is wrong with scat porn?
If I want to watch an attractive Asian girl take a huge, butthole stretching dump over an old style squat toilet, that is MY choice.
It is a perfectly natural and beautiful expression of the human body. The fact you are so terrified of something everybody does just goes to show how sick and twisted you are.
You are a cancer upon the human race.
