In Norse mythology, Ragnarök ("final destiny of the gods") is a series of major events, including a great battle foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures (including the gods Odin, Thor, Freyr, Heimdall, and the jötunn Loki), the occurrence of various natural disasters, and the subsequent submersion of the world in water. Afterward, the world resurfaces anew and fertile, the surviving gods meet, and the world is repopulated by two human survivors. Ragnarök is an important event in the Norse canon, and has been the subject of scholarly discourse and theory.

 

Ignoring the parts about Norse Gods, discuss how Ragnarok and Christianity can relate.

 

This is a serious discussion. And no Religious flaming.

They are similar, mainly because of the of the fact that the end of the world is always percieved as a tragic, horrifying, bloody, war spread event, that often relates to excessively powerful natural disasters.

 

Let's look at the similarities:

 

-Natural disasters

-War

-End of world

-Few survive

-New beginning (For Christianity, I'm referring to an eternity in Heaven.)

The bible is a giant ripoff?

 

This. As Christianity took over europe' date=' they incorperated pagan beliefs. (And to a lesser extent, vise-versa).

[/quote']

 

Wait, those Templars I hired didn't wipe out every other religion!? And yes... The Bible is a ripoff... Plus, God never said what was to be in the bible... And I believe the Chris Angel, in an attempt to become more popular went back in time and performed "miracles" under the name 'Jesus Christ.' [/sar]

I'm a christian and God has sent people visions to write in the bible, like Revelations. I think it was John... Havn't read the bible in a while so excuse my scratchy memory... And you can't say the entire bible is a rip off based off 1 assumption, at that. Maybe some other religions were incorporated, that doesn't mean the religion is false.

 

It's called cultural diffusion. The religion existed, in my opinion, and then we added to it. Falsely maybe, but that doesn't mean everything is false. Just some... Added things that came from other religions.

Of course it's related. Except with different figures, some have gods, others angels and a certain guy coming down from the heavens on a white horse blood-stained and with red eyes.

The whole end of the world scheme and restarting anew is popular in religions.

ESPECIALLY NEW AGE, I wonder why no one mentioned that.=/

So the Bible picks up where Ragnarök left off.

 

@Racecar: I'm Christian/A little Aheist (depends on my moods)' date=' I don't believe in anything the Bible says. Except maybe the Commandments, since they kept us from killing each other.

Morals already existed, and are natural.

Ragnarok is a spammer and in idiot.

I definitely don't know him (3 days old says hi)' date=' but think everybody has something good in essence, no matter how somebody (or everybody, for that matter) views him.

What's the difference between an imaginary benevolent being and an imaginary malevolent being?

 

Well, the benevolent one trolled more people.

Neither exist, dude. There are just flesh and bone beings that do whatever they do primarily to survive and are NOT evil by nature.

This is why we disallowed religious debates in the first place. You all (referring to most) either dont believe it too much, arent open minded or are just so stupid you cant just refuse to post.
