Sounds like what the catholic church kinda wants from their members here on earth.

Damn. Well we can still jerk off to all the naked chicks right? All the girls WILL be naked... won't they?
That's already taboo here, so it would be a huge no-no in Heaven. Every inch of skin, from neck to feet, will be covered.
While it's true that all liberals are crazy people, not all crazy people are liberals.
What is your point, I don't get the futility point.
Christianity is credible. Odin is not.
Odin promised to rid the world of frost giants..........when’s the last time you saw one?
�Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.�

Man. So depressing. Maybe I should drink less and start eating better.

Following through with promises. Bier in Heaven. What's this glorious religion called again? Can I join even if I'm not a Norseman? I bet I have at least some Norse DNA in me, what with all the raping and pillaging they used to do to Europe. Not that I believe in DNA.
And since the time of Abraham has kept thousands, and tens of thousands, and even millions of priests, pastors, and ministers fat, happy and often well laid.
Huss cried out against those specific corruptions as well as many other Reformers
Jan Huss I guess your saying Prague 1420's. 90% of Czechs are atheist today. But it made Jan Zizka famous for warfare/tactics against the knights. One of many crusades against non-muslims. Pope(s) like to kill other Christians too. And especially eradicate Slavic Pagans.
Basically the KJV bible another example of people in a position of power and influence being able to cut, copy, and paste the bible for their needs or mark on it thruout history.
What I find funny is those who think and beleive it is all gods exact wording VERBATIM no matter what version of the Christian bible or branch of christianity they beleive in.
People need ta educate themselves just a little in how bibles have been modified by MAN over 1000,s of years I venture to say....
Many struggle with just the English language and then with a myriad of English versions of Bible (approx 56) ... what chance do they ever have of understanding what was lost in translation from Hebrew and Greek to English....?

So the savvy Norse pretended to be christians in order to be able to conduct business, but still largely continued on with their Paganism. (sort of like wearing a suite in court, keeping up sham appearances when appropriate is the smart thing to do... )
any ways ,...the easily impressionable dumbazz Christians bought it...

Is somebody on the campfire seriously worshipping Thor?
All the cool kids are doing it. I love Thor. I dedicate most of my Friday and Saturday nights to Him.
And worship can mean so many things. To some it may mean viciously admonishing nonbelievers for their sins with or without the semi-frequent engagement in the same base activities behind closed doors. To others, it could be smugly laughing inside at the sight of a filthy sinner whilst choosing for his self which words of God to follow to the letter and which can be twisted into what's convenient or what feels good, as long as he is sorry afterwards. To me, it generally means getting piss drunk and staggering around my yard in my underwear, whilst shouting a lot about the virtues of raping and pillaging with a big hammer in my hand, and then vomiting a lot. Sometimes I puke and rally.

The history of the Albigensian Crusade makes for some interesting reading as well. Basically the Catholics exterminated them for being more Christian than the Catholics.

“Religion is a totalitarian belief. It is the wish to be a slave. It is the desire that there be an unalterable, unchallengeable, tyrannical authority who can convict you of thought crime while you are asleep, who can subject you to total surveillance around the clock every waking and sleeping minute of your life, before you're born and, even worse and where the real fun begins, after you're dead.
A celestial North Korea. Who wants this to be true? Who but a slave desires such a ghastly fate? I've been to North Korea. It has a dead man as its president, Kim Jong-Il is only head of the party and head of the army. He's not head of the state. That office belongs to his deceased father, Kim Il-Sung. It's a necrocracy, a thanatocracy. It's one short of a trinity I might add. The son is the reincarnation of the father. It is the most revolting and utter and absolute and heartless tyranny the human species has ever evolved. But at least you can f#cking die and leave North Korea!”

Sorry but I gotta say there were a lot of Catholics involved in running the muslims outta Europe the last time.
I'll agree that Christianity is preferable of the two, but IMHO religion and the belief there is a god that's gonna give us everlasting life is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind....
Not all religions are equal. In terms of their effects upon the well being of their followers, the worst tend to be the Shamanistic religions. Of the major religions the worst is Islam, and the best is Judaism, but the this still falls short of the well being experienced by Atheist.
