A lot of historians like to note that Odinism had a Trinity, Odin, Thor and Freya. That sounds good, but it is not clear and in any case Odinism at that time was COMPETING with another trinity called Christianity.
Competing institutions look very much alike, just as one-celled beings do.
According to Islam, it will be Jesus who comes down to the Judgment. Islam is a mixture of its two main competitors and forerunners, Judaism and Christianity. Even Iranian Shi’ism is attributed to the special influence of Zoroastrianism and regards all other Moslems as heretics.
Those of us who are only really familiar with the three Jehovan religions do not realize how alike they are. We have real trouble understanding most religions where a specific God is nonexistent, as in Buddhism, or multiple gods as in Hinduism.
We have extreme difficulty with Political Correctness as a religion because it has a Satan, Hitler, and no Jehovah.
We do not realize that the religions we know, Christianity, Islam and Judaism, look almost exactly alike to any other culture. For any serious political knowledge, that blind spot is exactly like trying to understand astronomy while insisting that the earth is the center of the universe.
Wordism, after all, no matter what form it takes, puts words at the center of our universe.

The god Odin gave an eye for KNOWLEDGE, not for WISDOM. He wanted truth, not Truth. He was the only god like that in any religion. That's where WE come from.
