Sacrificing my daughter and son to odin.

Hello, I am a pagan that has been apart of an ancient religion for a very long time. It's a secret cult in Scandinavia. I have a very plain and simple question, which in some of you will be disgusted in, some will be interested and some just plain blow away.

Basically I am a father of 2 beautiful children, we are a family of Scandinavian-Mythology, otherwise known as Norse Mythology, some of you may know it as VIKING religion.

Every couple of years, my secret order that has worshiped my gods for the past thousand years have sacrificed family members to appease our gods, this time it is my turn to sacrifice my daughter and son, and I'm starting to wonder if my gods exist, they have never answered any of my prayers and I need to know if Odin is real, I have come to you guys to help me make a final decision on my daughter and son, I have a matter of months to think about this and I need some help to know if It's normal to fear my children aren't going to Valhalla like our oracles say they will.

In conclusion, should I fear for my children's safety in the afterlife?

    If you really, really want to appease Odin, then I'd recommend yourself as an offering instead of your children.

    I think IIN is a great resource to base a life-or-death religious decision on.

    Sounds a lot like Christianity where Abraham was going to sacrifice his son to God because God told him to.

      Yeah, that loving god eh? Testing Abraham's obedience: see also the story of Job, tortured by god to test his faith.

      Actually that's all pre-christian, it's old testament, which is judaic. Some christians will tell you that post jesus they now only have to follow the new testament, but in fact they only abandon the bits they don't like, as in Lot offering his daughters to the strangers who wanted to have sex with him.

        Yes but those aren't commandments and rules to be followed. They are stories of the actions committed by the same God. So you can make an argument that the rules God requires Christians to follow changed with the birth and death of Christ. But you can't really argue that the God in the old testament isn't the same God worshiped by Christians and that their holy book says these are acts that God committed.

          Of course it's the same god, jesus didn't invent another one when he came along, it's still his dad in the old testament before he was born.

          To stick to Lot as one example, it's true the bible doesn't say it's a rule or commandment to offer your daughters to potential gay male rapists, which is a stupid response anyway, but Lot and his family are the only people saved when the cities of the plain are destroyed, except for his poor wife who commits the terrible sin of looking back when she's been told not to. If god had disapproved of Lot's actions, surely he would've been destroyed too?

          On the subject of commandments, how come it's a sin to covet your neighbour's wife but women coveting their neighbour's husband isn't mentioned and neither is rape or child sexual abuse?

            Well this completely misses my meaning when I said they weren't rules or commandments. The point was that when you responded "Actually that's all pre-christian, it's old testament, which is judaic. Some christians will tell you that post jesus they now only have to follow the new testament..." that does not in any way apply to what I was saying about Abraham because I was talking about actions taken by god according to the bible which is part of the Christian belief system. So while it it may be pre-Christ it is Christian and not strictly Judaic. Your statement applies only to rules, and I was not talking about rules so it is irrelevant.

            What I was pointing out with Lot, which you seem to also have completely missed, is that the example of Job that you gave, and the example of Abraham and his son that I gave are the same in that they are examples of the "loving God" personally taking actions that were not loving. But when you also give the example of Lot offering his daughters, he did that on his own, so it is just not an example of God personally doing anything wrong. So it really doesn't fit with the other two. There are terrible acts committed by God if you look at the entire story, but the example you gave of Lot and his daughters just isn't one of them.

            God doesn't destroy everyone every time they do something displeasing to him in the Bible. So I don't think that the fact that God allowed Lot to live automatically signals Gods approval. Lot's wife was not punished for displeasing God, she was punished for disobeying God. As Lot did not disobey God, it is not an apples to apples cocomparison. Lot was also sacrificing his daughters to save another, so some might find his actions heroic. Though in my opinion it would only be heroic if he offered himself.

            As far as why the bible says God made rules about some things and not others I have no way to know and no reason to care.

              OK god didn't punish Lot for trying to have his daughter's raped by the strangers, but he did save him from destruction, so apparently god thought ms lot looking back when ordered not to was much worse than that.

            OK, so your brand of christianity believes everything in the old testament should be followed in the same way as christ's teachings? That's not what he's reported as saying in the new testament

              Didn't see this until now because you responded to yourself, not to me. Number one I have no "brand" of Christianity. Number two that is the exact opposite what I said. I clearly said that according to the bible a case can be made that the rules of the old testament ended with the birth and death of Christ.

              But when you change or desolve a law, that doesn't invalidate everything that happened while the law was in place. Just because many Christians may not believe they are still required to follow the laws of the old testament, they still believe the events of the old testament occurred. Two completely different things.

              The "events" (creation, Noah, Moses and the exodus and so fourth) are all a part of the Christian faith.

    I think you should fear for their safety in THIS life by not killing them.

    You should be very afraid. The purpose of life is to get your DNA into the next generation. Religion has warped you.

    There is no odin, there are no gods or goddesses and there is no Valhalla.

    Unbrainwash your own brain and then your childrens' brains: I'm sure that like all religious fanatics you've indoctrinated them with your own cruel beliefs

    I don't see anything wrong with it at all. It's your religion, and your children are your property to do with as you wish.

    Since there is no afterlife, I see nothing to fear.

      One time when I pooped it sort of resembled Odin, but now that I actually think about it I guess it was more like the Minnesota Vikings mascot.
