Thread 17770654

As you know Christianity believes that all other gods are demons - holding to the radically exclusionary take typical of Abrahamism. My question is why do 4chuds conflate this with some racial insult? Deities like Odin aren't *Germanic* - gods are otherworldly nonhuman entities who do not share your race or ethnicity. Pagans associated this with something good - Christians basically believed this too but associated them with Satan and his minions. Like I'm sorry neither YHWH or Odin are Germanic they are nonhumans.

>Deities like Odin aren't *Germanic*
technically true but your thinking is backwards. Germanic peoples in paganism are descended from Odin, they are of a single blood. It's not so much that Odin is germanic, but that germanics are Odinic

Actually Christians understood many of pagan deities as legendary ancestors that their descendants deified.
Odin appears in Christian chronicles as ancestor of Wessex dynasty and Alexandran Sybil talks about Titanomachia as a war between humans.

Because that's exactly what it was intended to be. The purpose of christianity is to enslave mankind. Part of that process is humiliating and demoralizing every people it encounters by telling them that their Gods are evil and that their ancestors are being tortured for eternity.

All religions are ancestor cults. Judeo-christianity literally worship the fictional progenitor of the jewish race, abraham.

Actually YHWH calls them gods, not demons.
"Thou shall have no gods before me."
he's just a yandere, who wants all your attention.
