I read the Bible multiple times and found it lacking, be it the hypocrisy, the abuse, or the dishonor within I found little more than disgust for the god of Abraham. Which is funny as I went in trying to strengthen a pitiful bit of faith.
The same cannot be said for my readings of the Poetic Edda and the Pros Edda, while not instant it did create a new faith in me and like the World Serpent growing in the ocean I soon found it strong and unyielding.
It wasn’t instant nor was it a choice in a direct sense, but it was my choice to further embrace the teachings of the Old Gods and to follow Odin. Fact of the matter is there is nothing you or any other Bible thumper could do to break my faith, frankly you’re more likely to just piss me off and encourage me to invoke sacred bloodshed which is to say bash you over the head until ya stop twitching.
