My dear lambs,
An interesting comment that was made in the article about Odinism becoming more popular came when discussing the fact that many of the inmates were grouping together for safety. Meeting as a religious group was a way to form a bond for safety. The quote was, "And you have to have a god in the middle of that to really keep you safe."
What an interesting statement. You have to worship a god to be safe. A god, not the God. That in itself was an interesting point made in a Christian society. Interesting too was that the gods protect hate groups as long as they worship the gods. That replaces the old adage of love thy neighbor or go to hell.
Maybe the gods are just vain beings and as long as you worship them, they will do you favors. It's not about how you live your life but who you pay homage to.
Still, it seems odd that you must believe in a god to be safe. These guys are banding together in order to protect each other. That would provide a fair amount of safety. The other aspects in their lives would seem to only bring more danger to them. Being a white supremist in prison would seem to make you a target for anyone that isn't white. Being a follower of a Norse god that many people that was dead makes you a target as well. Choosing an unpopular god to worship can bring great harm.
What do you think, my lambs? Does worshipping one of the hundreds of possible gods provide you with safety?
Pay the Preacher!

I am looking for a god that doesn't give a crap about me. That way when things go wrong I can't blame or pray to my god for help because he has nothing to do with it and I don't have to feel disappointed when what I ask for doesn't turn out anyway. And when things go right I don't have to thank him because he was probably out fishing or something and had no clue I was about to find success and happiness. "Okay, I'm off to that interview now. Wish me luck or bless me. Hello? Ah, whatever, you sodding deity." -

Whether we worship or not, God is...and that's enough.After all I believe that we ae all HIS children. I have found him in my heart and in puttaparthi in India in flesh and blood, as prophesied in the bible's revelations. -

You have to worship a god to be safe.
I think humans want to externalize god to project responsibility for things they feel they have no control over ... or just don't want to take responsibility for that control.
People go through life externalizing or projecting to some "higher" authority: parents, employers, the government, and ...
god.
My advice. Stop externalizing god. Look within.

No matter what god you follow, or even if you choose not to, you're a target for someone.
