I see “God” as an energy that is life and can be felt and expressed in love. Many have called God by one name or many names, as in Hinduism, It is what It is. As the Tao Te Ching said “the name that can be named is not the Eternal Name.” I believe that God spoke to every culture in different times, so you could say that each prophet was Christ, they were all manifestations of God. I’ve always felt closer to God when in nature far more than when in a crowded building. All religions are like branches on one tree, the world is one country and all Humanity is its citizens.

I'm a new Heathen/ Asatruar and I converted my religion to Asatru (Norse Paganism) recently on my papers at work... I don't want to be EVER associated or identified with people who are racist. Should I change the religion to a different name like Heathen? Or is Asatru an okay term for Heathen? I'm very new.

My thought is Utgard Loki’s name is a shorthand so listeners have a sense of his character, I.e. he’s like the Loki of utgard

After a few of your videos and my own heathen thoughts I've come to this. Only in the Abrahamic religions is evil defined. A view fitting of a massive grouping of stone age peoples. The "Kingsland warlords going back to Moses would use fear to bolster their own power. Just as do governments and the Vatican today. The pagan gods stem from a time of nature gods and animal worship. Is the wolf "evil" when killing a Elk calf, deer faun? Or is the wolf providing food for its own young? In nature Good and evil don't really exist. The natural world just is. So it stands to reason again that the 1st tellings of the gods reflected this. Like the Norse gods do. Odin good but then the wild hunt. A more realistic view. Gods are more super human. Where the God of Abraham, all powerful.

Thank you very much for this!

So thats where the ragnar hair came from... 🤣

We can trust the words of the one who came back from the dead, Jesus Christ who is God Himself. God is Holy, there cannot be sin in heaven in the presence of God, Sin is disobedience and rebellion against God, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, but God Himself came down to earth in the person of Jesus Christ to pay the penalty of sin by dying on the cross so that anyone who turn from sin and follow Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be able to be with God in heaven, but those who reject the offer of Jesus will not be. Holy Bible [✟] John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

Anyone know how this tirned out? Been a few years now and i can't find anything

You mention both the possibility of doing 1-3 sentences of prayer and of doing a ramble for hours like a baptist; is it legitimate to do a long series of written prayers as part of a large ritual comparable to a Catholic rosary?

This didn't debunk the claim. Its still entirely plausible and really a great possibility

Odin is the one that advised Marcus Aurelius to write his memoirs.;D

Doesn't everyone do some relabeling? Namely, if you encountered some Christian mystic like Meister Eckhart or Julian of Norwich or you encountered some Sufi muslim who's been bathed in the holy green light, wouldn't you deny the narrative the get from their UPG regarding the idea that they contacted the highest God?

Some is metaphor some are actual fact. Mudfossils show how biology can become the land.

Slick here has a sound but invalid argument. Ocean here contests the sound premises but not the invalid reasoning. This video gave me a headache.

This is an ethnic faith.

My mother got food poisoning from Panera, and apparently, I did too and almost died so we don't eat from there anymore

Jews and Christians will explain this as God allowing the Moabites to win either as a punishment or challenge for his people. Considering that their own notion of God being the only true god simply comes from his saying so, you cannot convince a Christian otherwise no matter how reasonable the argument. They will always take God's word over anyone's.

Spoilers: You lose a brain cell for every word he spews in this video😂😂 bro thought he discovered something.

In my opinion, at the point where I'm writing this (about half an hour in), is that the atheist is assuming that science and religion are oil and water, so I must do all kinds of superstitious oddities if my religion requires it, and I have no recourse to science in my decision making process. It's true that he realises that maybe I, and many like me can be both polytheist and guided by the findings of people with lab coats and beakers, but he's also thinking that religion could lead others astray. Which brings me to my second point... The same could be said for atheism. The 'superiority' of atheism fuelled the deaths of tens of millions during the 20th century (Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot). Any ideology of superiority can get us to a bad place. Followers of a politician, with access to TV and internet, can deny he lost an election or deny the outcomes of the legal process, and prepare their hands for war, and no God necessary. It's ideology that gets us there, and taking religion out of the picture only offers a false sense of security.

Baptists get criticized for "inventing" the age of accountability but in a way what they say makes more sense than atheists automatically claiming everyone's babies as members of their "organization" infants & up to a certain "magical age" cannot make decisions for themselves learning to speak & to walk is the first essential struggle to overcome & eventually they will become aware of what is really going on the first time that they ask "why is the ...?" that is when you can get a hint that some deeper thinking is going on so atheists claiming that babies are atheists is almost equivalent to the RCC being allowed to baptize everyone's baby without parental knowledge just so they can claim more numbers I have heard rumors that this kind of thing has been done in the past in certain places even if rumors are unfounded someone actually imagined it which is bad enough anyways the best way to look at them is basically undecided until they inform everyone what they actually believe

Watching this today I have to say you have come a long way with your presentation on camera! Keep up with informing the people 🤘🏻

This dudes such an insufferable douche

What I heard from Aquinas is that one can distinguish between mind-independent / objective distinctions and mind-dependent / subjective distinctions and it so happens that the distinction between God and any of the persons of the Trinity is subjective but the distinction between the persons of the Trinity is objective. This makes sense with a philosophical background and fits the diagram.

Vaush is a dangerous person. That kind of extremist belief is what causes crusades, witch hunts and genocides regardless if it comes from religion or not.

To argue the complexity of it: Why would it need to be simple? The material world for example is also infinitely complex. Truth is rarely simple. Saying that something isn't true because it's difficult to understand is not a very good argument.

I really resonated with what you said about feeling guilt over not doing enough. I am eclectic and pray to a variety of gods and spirits (with Lilith as my favorite), but I so often feel that I am neglecting them and not doing enough.

I've worked with lawyers for over 40 years. It's my considered opinion that Loki is a lawyer.

Ocean, his argument makes total sense when you realize his god used shadow clone jutsu.

Soft polytheism always sounded like monotheism with extra steps to me

I would VERY much hesitate to say that all spirituality is witchcraft. Namely, in a lot of faiths such as Islam and also really academic forms of orthodox Christianity, theurgy is outright heretical superstition because you can not compel the God(s) to do your will; instead, they consider prayer to be for an internal effect of aligning your will to God's will as opposed to the other way around. That sort of view where the divine is entirely out of your control and attempting to control it is bad seems utterly antithetical to witchcraft.

Valerie Love, says that the Bible, is full of spells, as she points to Psalms 91

Comment section is lost Wikipedia lovers

Based on his arguments, Mike sounds like the type of person to stand by and watch an atrocity believing that his god "is working good through the hardships" and still believe his god is good. I've learned that trusting anyone with this mentality is a very dangerous thing to do as they have no ethics that are derrived from something other than "if I disagree, god will send me to hell".

Death, evil, “bad things that happen to good people” is not Gods plan or caused by God. There's this guy called “the devil” who is the god of death. You should check out the Lord of Spirits podcast.

Have you checked out Orthodoxy? You seem to have the same gripes against protestants that I do.

@OceanKeltoi can you touch on Loki being the father of trolls and witch women and ogres. After eating the "witches heart".

It's a sign for strength and courage. It's that simple.

So i get your need for puns. But next time, can we get one that is more applecable to this situation.

I wear mine for many reasons. Strength, reminder to be like the gods, conversation piece (possible questioning of their own religion), proof of religion, controversy with Christian Nationalists. That's all I can think of at the moment.

Star Wars took Skoll and Hati to the show Ahsoka Balen Skoll and Shin Hati interesting...

Matt's god only exists in the unknown. Every time we learn about something, his god shrinks, only surviving through logical semantics.

I've never heard of luck referenced like this before. Very interesting.

I do not believe it is possible for Loki to have kept Baldur in hel. It is told in other videos of your's that when the gods shape shift, their eyes don't change. And Loki has been found when he transformed before. Therefore the gods could tell, and Loki would've already cried for Baldur. I believe Loki feels guilty for testing the mistletoe in Snorri's telling.

Whats the best way to get in contact with you? I have some interesting topics i will love to discuss with you on

So moronic leftist just defaced Stonehenge.

Isn’t Vaush part of some horse cult?

Old goober glitches when anyone else talks 💀

hmmmm🤔 if all pagan gods&goddess and all pagan deities are protector of nature and (all abrahamic god favored mankind and jesus is a carpenter of man) remember mankind destroying nature and slowly killing earth

I do have a question for you, my polytheist brother in arms. My main objection to polytheism and theism in general is how trustworthy personal experiences are. I’d love to know your reasoning on why you accept that religious experiences are real and not just tricks of the brain. I understand that there’s a lot of neurological research into this subject and I’d love to know if you reject this research for a specific reason or interpret it in a different way. I hope you can clear things up.
