Oh to have the confidence of a Christian saying the wildest (and very very inaccurate) shit about other religions
I once had a Christian tell me that Odin is famous for being greedy and a hoarder of knowledge.
And as someone who took a Norse mythology course in uni I was like
My dude. My buddy. My pal. My sibling in Christ, even.
That's literally the exact opposite of what he's famous for????
- After he is granted knowledge of the Runes in Rúnatal he goes around the world teaching anyone who wants to learn how to write, no strings attached.
- In Skáldskaparmál he steals the Mead of Poetry specifically to SHARE it with the other gods.
- He's so famous for going around giving people advice and dropping knowledge that his kennings include Allfather, Journey Empowerer, Journey Advisor, Teacher of Gods, and Nourisher.
