Of course Odin, Thor and Freya exist. No Christian or Muslim has yet provided irrefutable, objective proof that they don't. Meanwhile - as for proof not being necessary, when you are in court for a murder that you did not commit and the jury said you did it - even though there was no evidence available - surely the judge is right to send you to be lethally injected?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
