(+) Yeah! (+)

Are the Roman gods not white enough for them or something? Why are they always worshiping Thor and such like that?

But like Doyle and Chaney, a number of white supremacists are abandoning Christianity for a very different religion: Odinism, sometimes called Asatru, Vanuatrú, or Dísitrú. The faith, which has several different strains, is a modern expression of an ancient, polytheistic Nordic belief system that reveres a slew of gods such as Thor.

“Odinism! This was the religion for a strong heroic people, the Germanic people, from whose loins we all descended, be we German, English, Scott, Irish, or Scandinavian, in whole or in part,” Cross wrote. “Odin! Odin! Odin! Was the battle cry of our ancestors; their light eyes ablaze with the glare of the predator, as they swept over and conquered the decadent multi-racial Roman Empire.

I thought it was Nordic but the Germans worshipped Odin?

I don't think these types know jack dick about their "religion"

the nazis were obsessed with germanics paganism so this is just a continuation of that

Roman Gods aren't white enough for them because the Romans are not white enough for them. Look at every white supremacist argument and they'll talk about how Italians and ancient Romans aren't white enough due to racial mixing with North Africans and Moors

I would have thought they revered Rome as white people taking over the world or something.

Also that argument of "the Roman Empire fell because it took in too many different cultures"

some do by trying to make the romans into a bunch of nordics, but reality goes against that and they stick to what they know is true (nordics being nordics)
