That's the problem with "universalist" religions: as soon as a culture goes on the decline, it dumps it like a bum boyfriend and shacks up with the closest culture. Witness the jump from Hebrews to Greeks and Romans, to Germans and Slavs, to Latinos and Blacks.

I can't explain my attraction to Asatru in rational terms. Whenever I consider it, I feel something primal stir deep within me. An intense feeling of kinship and sense of rightness. The fact that Asatru checks out on all my criteria for a religion helps. If religion was a debate, the gods presented their argument, and then Jehovah presented a counter argument. Something tells me that the gods are delivering their rebuttal. I'm not saying you should definitely convert, Ex, but giving it a look can't hurt.

I am beyond converting, Sean. Groups of any kind eventually repel me. Or more truthfully, I eventually extricate myself from them.

There really isn't a "church" with Asatru. Yes, there are a couple large organizations that represent broad political trends, but the main organization level is the kindred, equivalent to a parish in Catholicism. With no overarching social doctrines, kindreds cover the political spectrum, with liberal to conservative to libertarian to fascist. They tend to be very up front about what the collective viewpoints of the kindred are, so there aren't any misunderstandings and accusations of deception. You can even practice Asatru alone, but it is recommended that you make contact with a local kindred for community and support. I'll poke around, see if there are any kindreds near where I live. Make contact and see where they stand on homosexuality and politics.

First step into a much older world. :)
