    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.

          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

              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.
