The poetic edda and prose edda are a good starting place.

You’ve single onto this idea that saying “ oh my god” means you believe in god, despite the fact that “oh my god” is a colloquial saying. Almost a euphemism for “what the fuck”. Keep doubling down though, I love mental gymnastics

Also, God isnt just in your mind.

God is found through the harmony of your mind, heart, and body.

Next time your faced with a decision you arent whole with. Pay attention to your gut and heart.

Your mind might tell you youre making the right choice but you'll also need your mind to tell your heart to slow down and your gut to stop turning. Your own contention is God's message that the choice you are faced with requires more consideration.

I dont care about a sentence like "God doesnt need you to believe in him".

A sentence like this doesnt help anyone except the narrative of people that already believe in him.

My question was WHY do people believe in god.
Your answer is basically, that it doesnt matter.
So truth is not important to believers I guess. Believing gives comfort to everyone who wouldnt get along without it holds on to it, I get that.
Thats why believers dont question anything and tell everyone things like "I found god for myself, cant explain it. If he hasnt revealed himself to you, there is no way."

Its always easy for believers. God is omnipotent, so you can twist and turn things in every direction and avoid any explanation. Thats pretty comfy.


I've told you why people believe in God. The majority believe in a God because they feel that it is in some way beneficial for themselves.

Others believe in God in the same way that you build axioms off of the expectation that gravity will remain unchanged. In other words, they believe because the belief itself is assumed.

The rest of your argumens are based around assumptions.

I like ravens I couldn't resist, sorry.

Also religion dates back further than Oden and Norse. I don't think You understood the point of the cartoon.

Ancient religion is something that I have studies and I see many modern day religions are just rebranded ancient religions.

If you're unwilling, then what do you wish to accomplish with this thread?

You give off the appearnce of a know it all and thus no one can change your mind.
Why ask a question if you've already determined the truth as it is to you.


"Unwilling"?
I havent gotten a single answer to my question, so what are you talking about?
I asked WHY people believe in god. You didnt even try to give an answer*lol

You are a really special snowflake...

is it possible for the handiwork to be perfect and the craftsman imperfect? Is it possible for a painting to be a masterpiece and the painter to be deficient in his craft, notwithstanding that he is its creator?
