No I am not an Atheist or Agnostic. Why is it people think if you are not Christian you are Atheist? I thought my blog was rather clear as to my beliefs. Atheism is a lack of belief in ANY god. Agnostic would be believing that there is a greater force that has yet to be proven. I am Odinist/Asatru, I believe in the gods of our ancestors. That is not Atheism or Agnosticism. I will even go as far as to say I believe the Christian/Jewish/Islamic god is a real god. Jesus I’m a little shaky on. I don’t feel he was anything other than a cult leader. I am having a hard time believing that the Old Testament god woke up all of the sudden and said “Hey, I need this dude Jesus to explain how I have changed this last couple of years. I am a nice guy now” Just doesn’t cut it with me. Most churches today, as I see it, no longer worship that original god. They have become Jesus worshipers. They now worship a man who claims to speak for god (or God speaks through him) and basically changes everything that the original god taught. I’m guessing big God #1 lost the ability to communicate his wishes after Jesus was born.
I believe in the gods I do because I feel connected to them. It feels natural, it always has. I believe in the values of my gods. I do not believe in the values of the Christian god, that does not mean I don’t believe in that god. I chose not to follow the Christian god because his teachings are not sound. That’s it, end of story.

Abrahamics say that anyone who doesn't buy their version of god is an atheist, regardless of whether they believe in other gods or not. Essentially one can't be a good Xtian/Muslim without bashing other people's religions. Jehova/Allah demands that his adherents be intrusive pricks. It comes with the territory. Asatruar couldn't care less about what others believe, it makes no difference to us because its none of our business.
Actually the early Xtians were once called atheists by the pagans, and they had a point. If one doesn't recognize their own ancestral gods then how can they be anything but an atheist?
