Just wondering because i cant remember anymore. Are you a convert? What brought you to the religion and at what age? Also are you still actively participating in the faith or has it kind of slipped?

I was going to be a convert. Never got around to finishing it, I was in the middle of studying. I realized it wasn't for me after some freaky shit that I'd rather not mention.

In hindsight, I was never a prime candidate for Judaism. Too many rules. I thought they'd provide me with guidance, but they didn't. Judaism is for the Jews. I'm only part Jew, and that part is Scandinavian in origin, anyway.

After some otherwordly happenings and freaky occurences, I've started to return to the faith my ancestors practiced centuries ago, before they were forced to convert to something that wasn't their own.

I still support the Jews in everything that they do that's right and fully believe in the existence of Israel.

Just curious but what is that?

That would be Asatru, Norse Polytheism.

I have my reasons for believing in it more than that it was my ancestor's faith, but they're too wierd to share with anyone else.

Asatru... thats actually one of my favorite polytheistic faiths. Back in highschool i took a year long course in the study of it. Very interesting 'tis.

Lol. What I know about Asatru could probably be written on the back of the educational budget of the United States. Twice. In a very large bold font. Possibly Arial Black.

Whatever you get the point.

Shit, I wish I could have taken courses on world religions in high school. I got stuck with shit like Physics and English.

I got to go to an alternative school. So basically we made our own classes.

Rabbi you're part Scandinavian too?

Yeah I like Asatru as well, but the neo-nazi groups can f--- off. I don't practice nor do I plan on joining a kindred it's just something I like.
