Barbarian Theology
by luke
I’ve always found barbarian theology (ie: paganism) to be both hilarious and endlessly fascinating. Just the idea that these brooding, hulking, strong people would have even greater brooding, hulking, strong gods who they look up to is such a great thing. When barbarians get together to discuss their theological differences, things get even more interesting. The discussion most often revolves around whose god could kick the other god’s ass. Here’s a fine example of barbarian theology that’s partly responsible for inspiring this Skadi comic:

As the late George Carlin noted, this THEORY of bigger or better god would be a corollary to the BIGGER DICK THEORY of conquest(i.e., their dicks are bigger than ours? BOMB THEM! BOMB THEM ALL TO HELL!)

And Paganism is different from the “Established” religions, how?
Christianity: “Believe In Me Or I Will Kick Your Ass Forever.”
Judaism: “Fuck With Us And Our God Will Kick Your Ass.”
Islam: “Our God Wants Us To Kick Everybody’s Ass Until You Believe.”
It’s all about punishment and intimidation.
Oh, please - let’s have a religious debate between average Christian and average Muslim. It will devolve into the same “Whose God Is A Bigger Bad-ass,” just like Conan and Subatai.

OMG! I’ve just had an epiphany!!
The Google executives are descendants of Conan!
That’s why they named their new browser ‘CHROME’
Who would’ve thunk those nerdy geeks had barbarian blood flowing through their veins
