Doesn't surprise me at all because, although "awake" to conspiracy theories, you're still all typical of the world's mindset that the one true God does in fact exist and He is worthy or ALL praise and worship and any other form of praise and worship is evil to the core and in fact a form of satanism. You all are still "asleep" in that sense along with the majority of the world. That is why Jesus Himself said the road to eternal life was narrow and few will find it. His words are always true! [/quote] No, that's just your egoic mind being 'offended' and feeling insecure that other people in this Universe do not believe and worship at you do. You 'wake up' honey - this existence does not revolve around your personal, chosen beliefs just because you want it to be so... [/quote] It could be that some have not read the article. Headline is: [b] 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 [/b] This is a celebration of their culture, which I fully support. From the article: “I don’t believe anyone believes in a one-eyed man who is riding about on a horse with eight feet,” said Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, high priest of Ásatrúarfélagið, an association that promotes faith in the Norse gods. [b] “We see the stories as poetic metaphors and a manifestation of the forces of nature and human psychology.” [/b] This is respecting the roots of their culture and what motivated them to be who they are then and now. I am a Christian and am not offput nor offended by the building of this temple. They could not have been clearer on what their intentions are. I just don't think people are actually reading the article and are just responding to the thread title. [/quote] Oh I read the article alright, and I stand by what I said. If you were close to the Lord, you would see the error in all of this. [b]Celebrating ones roots, if the roots are bad, isn't a good thing......spiritually speaking.[/b] And, it's not that "i'm" offended, or "you're" not offended, it's about [b]what the ALMIGHTY CREATOR thinks and if HE is offended....[/b].....cause that's all that matters! [/quote] Going along with the bolded comment....perhaps then you should not be practicing Christianity, considering their own dark history. Next bolded statement.....if you really knew about the "Almighty" you would not have made that statement. Why, because the Almighty (Prime Source)does not indulge in being offended. Being offended is strictly a human trait. [/quote]
