I'm still grappling with my spirituality.

Trying to be an Atheist who was Roman-Catholic is hard.

A self-flagellating atheist?

Sounds pretty normal, really ^-^

Animist.
It's actually quite convenient. When inanimate objects annoy me, I can blame them directly.

I have a nasty habit of punching things that I smack in to while walking of moving.

One time I bit myself while eating, and I punched myself in the jaw. That was less than productive.

Except that you attacked it in the first place, and then again for ... being a helpless victim.

Jehova of the Christian (Protestant/Catholic - I don't see there being enough of a difference to care. I didn't care then and I don't care now) religion.

Some of the others are much cooler about things. Odin, for instance, is significantly more random, but he's a pretty cool guy. If I could just actually believe in his existence, that'd be pretty sweet.

Oh. That prick.

But yes, Odin is cool.

Yeah, Odin was a great little warongering bastard, I personally preferred Loki when I was asatru.

Maddox wrote a little bit about Odin in his book "Alphabet of Manliness." He described Odin as "The patron saint of rearranging your face,"

Same.

Loki rocks. The rest of the Norse gods were right bastards plenty of times, but Loki was, at least, true to himself.

I once printed up a T-shirt that said "What Would Loki Do?"

One friend of mine was once concerned about his relationship, so he decided to consult his Tarot deck. It basically said, apparently, to watch out for treachery from those close by. He tried another Tarot deck, pretty much the same thing. So I offered to use the runes, getting Odin's input on the matter.

It could be summed up as "What they said, but throw an axe at him."

Now, I don't believe in anything, and didn't then, but figured it could help him gain insight simply by the runes/cards being attached to keywords that would make him think, but at any rate, his housemate did end up with his girlfriend. I still find it funny that the Tarot cards hinted at the problem, whereas the runes proposed violence as the solution.

Because let's face it. When you're a Viking, what doesn't violence solve?

Violence is not the answer, but the question.

The answer is 'yes.'
