Drunken Odinists Protest at a Church
http://www.getreading.co.uk/news/s/2...e_sacred_heartThe duo, downing Fosters and vodka, told police they were Odinists – a little-known pagan religion that worships a large number of gods.
A witness said they told officers they were protesting because they were not able to build religious buildings. The father added that he was at not being permitted to wear his religious regalia because it includes a sword.
According to the Odinist Fellowship’s website, Odinists worship their gods through “feasting and merry making” – although a witness said he heard police telling the pair it would have been a more effective protest had they not been drunk.
Idiots

Re: Drunken Odinists Protest at a Church
LMAO. Reading the article, that's actually pretty hilarious. It was hardly an "Odinist protest," but a father and son who happened to be Odinist. That's great they climbed the church. ahaha. Originally Posted by Carnelian

Re: Drunken Odinists Protest at a Church
It is pretty funny, they made complete fools of themselves. You would think they would have realised that protesting while drunk might not be the most effective method. Originally Posted by Waterfall

Re: Drunken Odinists Protest at a Church
It sounds to me like something that "sounded good when you are drunk" than any type of real protest. Hilarious but stupid. Originally Posted by Hyacinth Belle

I have to say, I love the writer's style..."little known religion that worships a lot of gods...after a lengthy talking down process...and after he had finished his vodka.." Originally Posted by Carnelian
