    Sikhs have a sacred dagger they're not supposed to ever part with under any circumstances.

    Created a huge controversy a few years back here when a school didn't want a kid to have it in class. They ended up allowing it as long as it's sheathed and can't easily be taken out.

    Sikh.

    Edit: Also, if an Indian person's last name is Singh, there's a good chance they're Sikh. A very good chance.

    they didn't even abandon it because they got crusade'd or anything, they abandoned it because it was trendy to love jesus

    the norse were like the myspace fags of medieval times

    and sagas were less epic myths and more livejournal entries

    "today, bjorn went fishing but he didn't catch any fish so he went home and cried for a while because he's a fag"

    now the egyptian mythology, there's something i can get behind

    Look the whole point of Nordic afterlife was to die so valiantly that a Valkyrie took you to Vahalla where you spent all of your time feasting by roaring fires with your fellow warriors and preparing for Ragnarok, where you all die again but with even more glory and against a far greater foe.

    That is the most awesome thing ever.

    Not really, considering that "dark elves" were Dwarves.

    Norse mythology was basically the polar opposite of Christianity.

    "Good" meant being a badass warrior who ruined the shit of a lot of guys.

    "Evil" meant being weak and having your shit ruined by a good guy.

    Which is also kind odd because the Norse spilled a lot of each other's blood when some of them converted and then some of them stayed with their old religion.

    Their tried-and-true conflict resolution techniques (killing, burning, looting) resulted in a win for Christianity... sorta.

    That's because when all is said and done Christianity is the baddest, bloodthirstiest motherfucker around.

    And how could the norsemen say no to that? I mean when you're already bloodthirsty to begin with, and then as a bonus you go to church and drink the blood of your god.

    So metal.
