Suzanne, isn’t the amount of pain that a set of beliefs can bring amazing? Since we have no way of asking those who are truly dead, i.e. not resuscitated, we really have no idea what happens after you bite it. Remember that resuscitation allows for the mind to start trying to fill in what happened.

Maybe the Norse beliefs aren’t myth, maybe belief in a great mother turtle is right, maybe the entire end game is turning into worm food, who knows? It is only arrogance to believe that there is only one correct belief, with the requirement of others to share that belief.
