I am speaking, of course, of Odin, the All-Father, the principle god of the medieval Scandinavian pantheon, by whom you were created and to whom you must owe your allegiance.
Come Ragnarok, will you be among the proud Einherjar who have resided in Valhalla and who will accompany Odin to the final confrontation between the Aesir and the forces of Chaos: the giants and their ally Loki?
Have you been a loyal follower of Odin in this life? Why jeopardize your chance at attaining a life in Valhalla and the glorious final battle of Ragnarok by rejecting him? If he isn't real, after all, you have nothing to loose--
--but if he IS real, will you not one day regret that you rejected your creator?

16-year-old-Christian: Sorry, but I don't count stories from a millennia-year-old Middle Eastern mythology book as "proof" of anything.

Jade: I don't think his birth was predicted, but he has done a lot of miraculous things (like, you know, creating humanity and the entire world). Furthermore, he hung on the world tree Yggdrasil for nine days and nine nights, was pierced by a spear and, after discovering the secret of the runes, recovered.

16-year-old-Christian: Wow, you really got me there. Science made a mis-statement; I am therefore enlightened and compelled to believe in the bible and accept the Christian God.
Oh wait...no. Not really.

Pascals wager with a Nordic twist!
I haven't been a devout follower of Odin, but I think he'll be pleased with me.

If Odin is predicted hundreds of years before his birth by prophecies, does a ton of miracles during his life, dies, and is raised from the dead then I might consider it....
But until then I'll follow the One who did all of those things : )

Yes, He will be pleased and satisfied and as a result He will give us a just rewaard and penalty to those who have no faith in Him.

You are wrong. God is THE God. This was proven when the Egyptians were cursed even when they prayed continuously to their gods.
*You seem so certain that it's mythology. You seem so certain that you *know*. Is it because, scientifically speaking and according to the Laws of Physics, that "can't happen"?
Scientifically speaking, STDs can't be cured. ...Science lied.
