atheostic: 1. Hell is NOT a concept in Norse religion.That’s a Christian/Muslim thing.Norse religion’s Hel was in NO WAY like Christian/Muslim Hell. Going there had nothing to do with morality or punishment. If it’s similar to anything, it’s to Greek Hades:ending up there had nothing to do with moralityit was not intended as a punishment; it was just where you went when you died (in the case of Hel it just meant you were not a warrior who died in battle)the place wasn’t good or bad, just meh (not very exciting).the name of the place and its ruler are the same2. Odin never stole the Runes.The Runes showed themselves to him of their own volition once he proved himself worthy.3. Odin never died in the process of obtaining the Runes.He was hung from a windy tree for nine days and nights with a spear through his chest, yes, but that didn’t kill him.It was painful and unpleasant, but being hanged and speared through the chest is hardly gonna kill him. What kind of wimp do you take him for?You’re thinking of Jesus, not Odin. -- source link
