No. I'm not taking sides because I really don't care what happened back then. I already said I sympathize for anyone who got hurt then, but that's the extent of my caring. I don't know everything about that situation, and I've made it clear I don't usually care about things that don't affect me. I wasn't an attacker or victim during that time.

You know the majority of our knowledge about Norse mythology comes from two written sources, because the Catholic church so thoroughly destroyed any evidence of the local pagan religion? We almost didn't know about Thor, and what we do know is very fragmented.

I might not give a **** about the people of the time (cause they've been dead for about a thousand years), but the loss of so much color from our world sucks balls. Thanks, Catholic church, for being one of the Avengers' worst enemies without even knowing it.

I guess that adds another mystery to look for in life. Besides, I'm not Catholic or from any Norse religion.

Yeah, cause you're descended from heretics.

Doesn't mean I'll be a "heretic." Plus, I wouldn't listen to your ideas on religion since my views on religion are definitely not the mainstream ideas you disagreenwith. But if it makes the wittle baby happy, I'll wook for one bwack metal album I can listen to without any problem, physical or religious.

If your beliefs say that you can't even to Slayer, then I probably disagree with them wholeheartedly.

And the simple fact that your ancestors rebelled against the Pope, and that you continue to do so, makes you a heretic.

Catholicism and Christianity are two different things. You're not very religious, so I doubt you're knowledgeable enough to tell me what I am. Plus, belief systems aren't physical. It's pretty dumb to assume all descendants need to believe the exact same things as their ancestors. Using you're lack of Biblical knowledge to insult me is pretty stupid, so I can't really take your post seriously.

But nothing I say will convince you otherwise. If it means going against a giant Catholic church filled with child-molesters for preachers while maintaining what I personally believe is to be the right idea of Christianity, yes, I guess I'm a mainstream heretic. But what's your religion, Bat? Wouldn't you be one as well?

Um, as a Christian, NO IT'S NOT. A Catholic might say it is, but a religion based on another religion isn't the same religion. If there are a lot of different beliefs, it's not the same thing.
