Jesus or Odin – You Choose
Read Time:1 Minute, 6 Second
As we approach (another) end of the world scenario, May 21, 2011, is the latest date given by believers in ‘The Rapture’, where all the good people get swept into paradise and the rest of us perish here on earth. While I never remember reading in the Bible about such an event taking place, the ancient Norse gods have some credibility with the promises they made.
Odin is a major god in Norse mythology and the ruler of Asgard. Homologous with the Anglo-Saxon “Wōden” and the Old High German “Wotan”, the name is descended from Proto-Germanic “Wodanaz” or “Wōđanaz”. ” Odin” is generally accepted as the modern English form of the name, although, in some cases, older forms may be used or preferred. In the compound Wednesday, the first member is cognate to the genitive Odin’s. His name is related to ōðr, meaning “fury, excitation,” besides “mind,” or “poetry.” His role, like that of many of the Norse gods, is complex. Odin is a principal member of the Æsir (the major group of the Norse pantheon) and is associated with wisdom, war, battle and death, and also magic, poetry, prophecy, victory, and the hunt. Odin has many sons, the most famous of whom is Thor.

I think this would be better with an actual picture of Odin, looking all dark and mysterious, instead of a picture of Thor.
Thor’s got his thing, too, but the juxtaposition would be funnier with Odin, in my opinion.
My naughty bits will be purified by The Rapture Jess. Underwear won’t be necessary.
Besides, I read this jokers ad in USA Today. He left himself plenty of outs in case the earthquake doesn’t materialize. I can keep an eye on my undies situation awhile longer.
Thor is brilliant!…Can’t wait to see the next Pirates…If Depp was female I’d be in love…careful JP…remember you’re straight…;-)
Good point Holty….anyone seen any Ice Giants of late?
(Probably done my bit via my vodka ice)…
Anyway…Odin apparently loves American Football so he must be a great guy!
This really isn’t very fair Holte. You know our culture. Opinion is based on celebrity and looks. I can’t think of many Jesus movies that were great. “The Greatest Story Ever Told” sucked. The only reason it gets watched is the cameo of John Wayne at the end saying “This man was The Son of God.”
The Passion was fine but it was about Jesus getting his ass kicked. Thor had a comic book and cool movies. Jesus doesn’t have a chance.
Just wait though till this weekend when He leads His army against the forces of evil.. Then you’ll see ther Badass Jesus and all of you atheists dogs will sing a different tune then.
Bwahahahahahahaha….
See you on May 22 Joe.
Wear clean underwear so that people won’t see yer durty drawers when they look up as you are taken into the sky ok.
Or, for a more fun Rapture, don’t wear any at all.
I’m a Thor kind of guy also, probably because I saw the movie in iMax and 3D 🙂 Tomorrow is Johnny Depp in the next Pirates flick 🙂
“Tomorrow is Johnny Depp in the next Pirates flick..
You’re telling me, who would be arrested for stalking if she had the chance to. I CANNOT wait since the rapture is the next day I’m getting mah Johnny fix just in case.
I’d like the mind of Odin, the strength of Thor, and the Beauty of Baldr. Too bad I didn’t find this sooner.
I prefer Thor myself, especially in the person of one Chris Hemsworth, in his tight black jeans but that’s just me. ooppps, silly inside shallow voices coming out again, I’m certain there is therapy for this, but I won’t be partaking in it any time soon.
