    Regardless of it being all nonsense, I can’t see that being viewed as an honorable death by Odin, he would definitely call that a cowards tool. It’s not just dying in battle, which he didn’t do, it has to be an honorable battle in the eyes eye of Odin.

        Like any religion, I guess it depends where you’re looking, I had a buddy in high school who’s family was legitimate believers that were way too into it, which is how i learned about most of it, and that’s how his grampa explained it to me. It’s really cool stuff, on a story telling level, but it’s some wild shit to take as truth. Guess that’s true of any religion, though, but dragons and frost giants really knock it up another notch for me.

          The fact that it takes a guy with a gun to smite them, and not a bolt of lighting, is proof to me that religion is bullshit.

            perhaps the gods saw kirk as beneath their contempt. not worth a lightning bolt or force majeure. not permitted entry to valhalla, denied the gates of hel, deemed only fit to be devoured by cthulhu
