Christians can't accept not knowing, they instead feel the need to attribute it to some mythological sky fairy.
No different to pagans and their polytheism gods, except christianity conveniently centralised it into monotheism.


true. but the followers of the christian tradition has helped in a way. back in the day the greeks had about 100 or more gods to worship depending upon the season, the weather, and the productivity of the earth.

now, the christians has reduced the number of gods from the hundreds down to three. that was a substantial reduction in numbers. so they have made progress, and they need to have full credit for their efforts. this god thing is not an easy process. it's gone on for ages, and it still moves forward, sort of like evolution, more or less.

the vikings were told to convert or travel to another place. they had a choice.
