RE: Viking history - part 6 - The Gods 1

in #norway7 years ago

I was wondering why those gods look pretty much "nordic", now I have the answer!

I've heard Norwegians are not very religious, and they don't like churches (I've seen some of them be burned out).
I'm not religious either, even though I live in a very religious country, bit as far as I know Norway is one of the most non-religious countries in the world. I guess, just like Japanese they had a lot of gods a beliefs but it turned out the other way around with time. Correct me if I'm wrong with this statement, I'm actually very ignorant about some foreign cultures

Hi @Ralk98
I guess you can say that we are not so religious since we dont go to church every Sunday, but I think that many Norwegians have a personal mind on how they look at religion.
And that you have seen some church burnings on TV was a crazy guy that worshiped the devil and probably was a bit nutcase that ran around and satt fire to churches all over Norway before the police got their hands on him. So luckily we dont have had any burning of churches after that :)

Media is very powerful, got fooled more than once! :)
