Odin does not approve of christianity. :)
Every person has a choice - that's why we are free to choose.
I suppose you are aware of the fact that christianity was forced upon us in the 9th century right? There was the choice of accepting God or losing your head. If that's freedom, I suppose we had it :)
Unfortunately we have a lot of things to impose - that's why I'm still learning and I try to make decisions based on my experience.
