How would you react to a Asatru creationist?

"We came from the sweat of a giant and I have proof" It would be funny, no?

Did it cause a great flood?
And then some people build a massive boat and collected all the animals in the world into it, then after wards when there were no other human beings around they f*ck ed each other silly to create yet more inbred babies ?

crazy...

Yes, it would be **VERY** funny!!!!

Sweat ...breath. Whatever, all creation myths sound a bit funny.

We generally do not take the myths to be literal.

Atleast not fully. The giant (I want to say Ymir.... but that's what i want to call every giant) was an ice giant. So his sweat was pure H2O. We feel this is symbolic of the beginning of life when aqueous creatures began to stir and evolve.
As far as humanity, the myths say that Odin, and his 2 older bothers made us from yew trees. (I think yew.... my books are in my car and its across the city... dint ask)

We feel that that is symbolic of how we grow and change with age.

An Asatruar Creationist.... at first i would be annoyed. But then id end up laughing with the bloke or gal over a drink or a meal.

It takes all kinds, Asatru is only an exception in that we have a very large variety of all kinds.

I'd laugh until tears came in my eyes.. and I'm Asatruar!

I'd say. Cool, you actually believe all of the Edda and not just the parts you like best. LOL

And besides, in Voluspa is says something about people being created from trees, not sweat........

I am a tree person!!!!!!!!
No that really would be freaking Hilarius.
