If you want to open that can of worms, fine by me.

The Bible says the Bible is true, but then again, the Nazi's thought they were true too.

I believe in God simply because I do. It is not only how I was raised, but how the world makes sense to me. Science does not refute it, despite many people saying otherwise. The idea that the Bible is Truth comes to me not from the Bible, but from my understanding of the World and how it works. They dont contradict.

Not particularly, no. The issue of blind faith is the main reason why I quit coming to FR's religious threads. Too easy to stir up bad feeling amongst the different breeds of "faithful".

Norse heathenism appeals to me because of the emphasis on honor, family, and living a good life. Instead of focusing on tangential details like if the entirety of existence came into being in six days, or from the body of an otherworldly creature.

Neither creation myth really adds anything to the basic moral precepts. Those that DO get all a flutter over it, are normally those who will argue endlessly about the glass in the windowpane, and never really look out the window.
