one other benefit of asatru is deliniation. most westerners are afflicted with what i call "white jesus syndrome". 2000 years of christjewery (monotheism/universalism/concept of sin) is the cause of this.  they self-idenitify with some universalist qualifier, usually "white" (white is a secularized form of "christendom") which they think self-deifies them as spokespersons or representatives of the entire tribe, then try and hold someone up to their socially constructed commandments of white ("as a 'white' person.. shame on you"). however, making a germanic only group completely separates them from the majority of self-identified "white" people.  paganism = deliniation, as apposed to christjew universalism.
