Why did the Vikings worship the Norse Gods (Odin/Satan) but raped women in every village they pillaged?

I understand that actions of mass organized violence is sometimes necessary but rape is just disgusting ,utterly vile and despicable.

Often times, since I do not have the time to read every single topic, I ask myself in meditation if there are any topics that require my attention, then intuitively find them and write what needs to be said. I ask my GD as well sometimes, if there are topics that require my attention where my knowledge or wisdom can be of help, and let myself be directed where necessary.

It is quite different from many people who come here. I take it very seriously, and treat the Temple of Zeus as my home, and the membership as my family, just like how Satan treats his followers no different than a father looking after his progeny.

You truly do that? I had known that you put extensive effort into helping people by expressing the knowledge you possess regarding a particular topic, but to specifically question as to how you may be able to offer your knowledge to people in your spare time, truly displays the extent of seriousness at which you take the advancement of our family.

You may not know of me, but you've helped me for years, too, and a lot of other people who might not yet have told you how strongly you have contributed to one's growth.
At times you actually also show some forms of knowledge and information that aren't normally just found or written. I'm referring to knowledge you've gained from experience and direct contact with the Gods. That's always inspired me, you know.

Anyway, to contribute to the topic of this thread, I find it strongly difficult to believe that a civilisation like the Vikings would commit something like rape. Anyone knit closely enough to the Gods and laws of nature would acknowledge sex as a sacred process of connecting the energies of the soul, utilising the spiritual and natural forces to grant life to a living, sentient being. Rape tarnishes this in the most wicked, corrupt forms, exploiting the concept of sex to rip out only a one-sided, sick form of pleasure. A people consisting of strong, White warriors who also respected women and children, resorting to such profane, deprived acts? No way on Earth.

Even in war, there is no way that this form of behavior would contribute to the objective of defeating the enemy. Bloodshed and losses in wars occur, yes, destruction to varying degrees is inevitable, yes. Where does rape benefit either side in this? Those that did commit this only do so to deliberately, unnecessarily cause further destruction to a victim on a personal level, and derive horrid satiety for their own depravation. It is simply twisted, and inhumane.

Vikings never raped anybody.

LOL. :D Cool it with the absolute statements. They make me lose interest in reading what else you'd want to say.

There were 2 instances of human sacrifice and 2 or 3 random rapes or simply tormenting villagers while insinuating Bjorn or Harald took part in it.

I'd like to know if anyone read the novels can tell they end on a positive note for the main character or Paganism in general.

Now one I know of is Assassin's Creed Valhalla is better than both in many aspects in depicting the Nordics and Pagan themes - in the background you have literal space travelling Alien Gods who appear in the Myths as their respective allegories, and you raid christian monasteries to make a better Britain - the only problem is that the gameplay is extremely boring, I'd skip most of it if I could to get just the main story bits:

Third-party media blocked

I typically despise Ubisoft, but if you truly think that Assassins' Creed Valhalla portrayed Norse Mythology in a good way, I might try it. I typically trust your opinion on media, Egon. We've talked about media several times.

I am an Aspiring God, and so are you.

I declare before You and before the witness of all the heavens that Your Names are restored. Restored truly. Restored rightly. Restored in their power and their majesty and their original splendor.

This is the targeted message.

AC Valhalla is extremely boring don't waste your time with it or any Ubisoft game for that matter, watch some yt movie compilation if you want the part about the story. Still, the story isn't that good only the lore, christianity being evil and such, but whatever there are better things about this out there or better media.

Assassins Creed Odyssey had some fairly interesting plot choices and design decisions. Pythagoras with the staff of Hermes, immortality, the city of Atlantis and some other seeming subliminal nods made me feel someone who had a part in making those design choices was trying to leave a trail of truth here and there in the corrupted narrative of ancient history ubisoft often tries to employ.

Another thing, towards the end of the game and the ending, your character is seen holding the staff of hermes and has literal immortality.

I don't often pay to much attention to mainstream games, but when I played through Odyssey I definitely was surprised to find all of that.

Last thing I want to mention, I hold a major grudge towards ubisoft over what they did to Rayman. The creator seemed to get so depressed and fed up he left the game industry all together, they butchered his character.

Watch the show Vikings. Very good.

Thanks, will do, the only reason I never did was that I automatically assumed the worst about it, seeing it being praised by this community props my hopes and expectations high.

Because the Gods are not feminists nor do they require you to treat enemies like your own kin, that is a Christian concept.

This sort of behavior would result in death if they tried to rape another man’s wife or daughter I’m not suggesting rape was legal in Pagan societies. On the contrary it was taken vary seriously much more then it is now for all the blubbering people do.

War brides were considered part of a solders pay for time immemorial the first line of the Iliad reads (They ran into the fields and shouted. “To war to war to every man a virgin wife.”)

It should be stated that the Gods do not control the behavior of the people. Just because someone "worships" one or more of our Gods doesn't guarantee that their behavior will be flawless.

There's responsibility to the responsible in Zevism. The Gods aren't responsible for what people who "worship" them do. Worshiping a being doesn't change your behavior, transforming your soul does. The average viking didn't have access to the spiritual knowledge that we have now. The only people at that time who had access to it were the priests and priestesses.

Questions like "why do the x people who worship the y god did z?" or "why does this person who worships (insert any Pagan God or Demon here) do that?" are so tiresome. People who ask them don't understand the basics of Zevism and expect it to be just like Christianity.
