Regardless of it being all nonsense, I can’t see that being viewed as an honorable death by Odin, he would definitely call that a cowards tool. It’s not just dying in battle, which he didn’t do, it has to be an honorable battle in the eyes eye of Odin.
perhaps the gods saw kirk as beneath their contempt. not worth a lightning bolt or force majeure. not permitted entry to valhalla, denied the gates of hel, deemed only fit to be devoured by cthulhu
Like any religion, I guess it depends where you’re looking, I had a buddy in high school who’s family was legitimate believers that were way too into it, which is how i learned about most of it, and that’s how his grampa explained it to me. It’s really cool stuff, on a story telling level, but it’s some wild shit to take as truth. Guess that’s true of any religion, though, but dragons and frost giants really knock it up another notch for me.
Although I agree he used hate speech as a weapon I haven’t seen any evidence that would lead me to believe Norse mythology would accept such an abstract definition of weapon in this scenario. I may be wrong though I am hardly an expert.
It’s mainly about being in battle and holding a weapon I just have no idea what specifically is meant by "battle"and “weapon” in the Norse cultural context.
edit: seems that Valhalla is the hall in which the warriors heal every night and Ragnorok is the “eternal” battle that’s some real apocalyptic shit of fighting day in and day out but never winning.
I see why these Christofascists embrace it.
But all who fall in battle will be Odin’s adopted sons, doesn’t seem like you need to have swung your sword. So, Eugene the supply clerk who catches one in the back is going to Valhalla just as much as Chad the legendary warrior.
Kirk isn’t in Valhalla he died dishonorably with no weapon in hand.
He had a microphone. If that’s not dangerous, then why did someone see the need to kill him?
I dunno, he had his microphone. That’s the only weapon he ever seemed to need.

eyeseye of Odin.MAGAs would say he died honorably in a battle of the wits with a Godless Liberal.
Nothing MAGAs say matters. Their words are meaningless. Babble for intellectually stunted children.
He dodged the two questions asked before he got kirked. If there was a battle of wits going on, he came unarmed.
Odin cares not for the diarrhea which spews from the maws of such swine.
The fact that it takes a guy with a gun to smite them, and not a bolt of lighting, is proof to me that religion is bullshit.

Does it? My little 10 minute read didn’t reveal “honorable”. Just “battle”.

Makes for really cool video games, too!
Fo shizzle.
Died fighting a word battle
Maybe there’s word battle debate club Valhalla where everyone is always right.
Although I agree he used hate speech as a weapon I haven’t seen any evidence that would lead me to believe Norse mythology would accept such an abstract definition of weapon in this scenario. I may be wrong though I am hardly an expert.
I can’t imagine they would see honor in a guy who uses his words to make other people fight a battle for him.
Sure, but we’re talking about Valhalla which is most certainly not a real place.
Sure but I was evaluating if Valhalla was a real place would he enter. Suspension of disbelief is a thing.
OK, are there requirements for what sort of weapon you should be holding? I can go look it up but you might already know.
It’s mainly about being in battle and holding a weapon I just have no idea what specifically is meant by "battle"and “weapon” in the Norse cultural context.
Im’ma go see

Not eternal or even prolonged, just a fight with a grim predetermined end. Aesir still prepare for it. It’s a pretty exceptional myth as myths go.
They also have a pig they slaughter every day (he then comes back), maybe Kirk can take its place.
