Clash of the Gods - Thor

Thousands of years ago, they were used to help frame the world of the ancients, and dictate the guidelines of their societies. Today, they are often the first stories we learn as children, iconic tales where good and evil clash, and humanity and fantasy collide. But what is the reality behind these stories? From the epic tragedy of Medusa, Greek mythology's most infamous female fiend, to Hercules, its greatest action hero, and Hades, master of the land of the dead and a god so feared no one would speak his name, explore these myths and the legendary figures who inspired them in CLASH OF THE GODS. Each episode connects ancient myths to actual historical events, as well as to events in the Bible and other cultures' mythologies, gaining important historical insight from renowned scholars in search of the truth behind the legends.

So a group of white people converted other white people to a Middle Eastern religion all to worship a Jew (after all Mary was a Jew and Jesus was her son making him Jewish).

@TokyoZeplin Don't tell me how to worship. Period. I don't tolerate it from Christians, why would I tolerate it from anyone else? And you'd think eleven years is quite enough time under my belt to have done some research, no?

I'm not the idiot you seem to think I am.

@YrNhanioArnaYMor Firstly, it's nice you're trying to show off speaking 3 languages, except I speak 6. Which is not all that uncommon in Nordic countries. Ironically, also English and Japanese among them, so yay. Second, if you're worshiping Norse Gods, maybe try to learn a bit about it to know what to call them? Fine, call them what you want, but it's still the wrong word mate :S No need to get hostile, instead, learn! If you look at my first post, I was just explaining!

[YrNhanioArnaYMor]

@TokyoZeplin I'm not pushing a bloody thing. I simply call my Lords and Ladies what I do to revere Them. I'll use whatever bloody titles I can to revere Them because hey, I'm not fluent in any other tongues except English, Welsh and Japanese.

So don't tell me how to worship and I won't tell you how much of a pushy child you are.

[TokyoZeplin]

@YrNhanioArnaYMor If you had read my previous replies instead of raging, I did say it also made no sense for Jesus. That said, Christianity is a much more "international" religion, you are pushing a completely wrong word onto a Norse religion, a non-existent title. Of the few pagans I know, all simply say "Thor", no special prefix. Also, Thor isn't a nobility :) Nice for you being Canadian, now take it from a Dane, you're using "Lord" wrong in this situation.

[YrNhanioArnaYMor]

@TokyoZeplin You seem to think you speak to one uneducated in Anglo-Saxon and Germanic titles of nobility. You're not. I'm Canadian; I was taught exactly what each title means.

And do tell that to all the Christians then, would you? Because "Lord" is applied to their god all the time and I don't see you bitching at them.

[TokyoZeplin]

@YrNhanioArnaYMor you still don't get it... Thor is a Norse God, the word "Lord" doesn't exist in any of the Nordic languages, and if you actually choose to use the closest variant to it, it would mean a British land owner. I'm not criticizing your faith (even though you seem determined to continue to say so), I'm correcting your language, saying the title you are giving is factually incorrect. If you calmed the F down, you would have seen that from the beginning (as I said).

[YrNhanioArnaYMor]

@TokyoZeplin Firstly, you don't need to shout. Secondly, "Thor is not a lord"? Excuse me but He is to me, he is one of my Lords as Kali is one of my Ladies. It's a title, or don't you understand those?

And really, what point are you trying to make by all this blather, eh? I don't give a damn what you think of my faith -- It is my faith. I'm not going to preach because well, my faith doesn't believe in "Converting" people -- faith is a personal decision. But insults get you nowhere.
