Why can't people accept Odin, even when there are no ice giants, and the Eddas say he killed them all? Its in the Poetic Edda!?

Why do you think that is?

    The Norse lacked a written language. The Poetic Edda primarily comes from the Icelandic mediaeval manuscript known as the Codex Regius, which was written in the 13th century. That was the Christian era. Therefore, the Edda lacks credibility.

    That is not in the Poetic Edda.

    It takes a special kind of stupid to dismiss all other gods due to lack of evidence, but believe in one that has the same amount of evidence.
