I'm thinking of buying an old church here where I live & converting it to an Odinist temple.
We have more and more empty churches around here every year.
The shell of the Church is functional, but I'd have to rebuild the exterior and steeple to a more Norse look. I'd need to commission some statues of the gods, as well.
But it would be an excellent place for weekly offerings (if the weather sucks outside) & the yearly festivals.

No.3564
>>2929Most people are some level of soft ploytheist here. i.e. there is an intelligent power (i.e. some kind of god) but it's more logical to look at this force in relation to stories told about the Gods. For example, you could call this force the Æsir, the collective group of gods. However if you wish to look at one aspect of the world, lets say death, you could read the poems which explain the relationship the Æsir have with this world, which is better represented as multiple gods.
tl;dr are there multiple gods? technically no, in practice yes.

I don't get it. Why do people think they HAVE to build "modern" crap?
Religious buildings always tended to be very beautiful and probably will remain beautiful in the hundreds of years to come. But with modern design, it is even ugly today.
Disregarding old stuff just because it's old is fucking retarded.
It's nice they are building one and I guess it's up to them how to design it, but I still with it would be more beautiful to look at.
Too bad this community isn't concentrated and big enough to do a fundraiser.

People keep responding to this one fake Christlard. He's been here for days baiting for replies.
More topically, I'm interested, albeit, skeptical, to see how this plays out.
If someone chimps out and burns it or something it'll just look better for us anyway.
Shape of the building is a little odd though.

If people go and attend in their regular clothes they will take it more seriously as part of everyday life, which is how the faith will perservere.

Whether you believe or not doesn't matter, the point is to live to make them proud either way. We don't kiss ass to our gods like the other faiths do, we just live honorably in a way they would be proud of.
If they do exist, they would be much more welcoming of a nonbeliever who lived with honor and respected his ancestors than someone who believed and sucked up to them but did not.

It's great to build something beautiful, no matter what it is. And you don't build a temple for the gods anyway, you build it for yourself to have a place to celebrate, study and worship, right?

>If they do exist, they would be much more welcoming of a nonbeliever who lived with honor and respected his ancestors than someone who believed and sucked up to them but did not.I was talking about our philosophy in general. As for the building I think it could be worse. It's definitely not beautiful but it has a kind of natural but weird look that I sort of like. Better anything than a christfag cathedral covered in spires, they symbolize that up is good and down is bad which isn't what we're about.
My point was that we do what is right because we agree that it is right, not because gods tell us to do it. They are just there to guide us, and a reminder to do what is right even when no mortal eyes are watching.
I agree about a place to celebrate, study, and worship. I hope this place becomes like that, and breeds more. Fuck those larpfags in costumes, no one will feel comfortable there unless they can go in their everyday clothes.

>>4862Religious garb for priests doesn't mean shit as far as their ceremonies go, it's all about how people see you.
It's beneficial to the christfags because people associate priest robes with an older time when christianity was taken more seriously, they know their faith is fading and it scares them.
It's not so good for us. We're not a current but aging faith like they are, we're an old one being revived after never being practiced seriously for a couple thousand years. During that time, the garb our priests wore has only been seen by people as playing make-believe, not current and real. If we wear it seriously now, it will only hurt our reputation and drive people away from the key points of the faith that actually matter.
