According to a bit of research I've done ( I'll do more to make sure of this) apparently the Vikings were actually very accepting of the idea of another God since they believed in many gods it didn't sound crazy to have this Christian God pop up now I don't know how they felt though people switching to Christianity but it seemed like they were okay with it to an extent. And his line about the gods being friends isn't too far fetched either.

That’s the beauty of God, His forgiveness is unending. But it is one’s choice to be with Him. The death of God’s Son gave everyone even non believers the choice in Love or Void even after Death. It all comes down to did you live the life of a honest man?

I never even watched the entire show but one of the most heartbreaking lines in all of TV shows is when Ragnar is carrying his body to bury him n he’s like “we will never see each other again” referring to the fact that they’re beliefs will keep them separate in eternity. That was rough

Never did I think these two would become so close. This show was absolutely amazing. But was never the same when these two died.

This, by far, is the most wholesome relationship between friends of different faith.

Ragnar understood that knowledge and understanding was the greatest treasure a man could find. "I did not become earl because I aspired to be one. It came about because of other peoples’ actions. And I did not become king out of ambition. But once again I had no choice, as a result of other people’s actions"

They were so damn cute together. Ragnar crying at his grave broke me. They really showed a beautiful relationship. Now...take this music off haha.

@@scottritchey573 I think Ragnar liked to be passive-aggressive. He originally mocked the Christian Gods, kidnapped Athelstan and made him a slave to his family. Floki was a good and loyal friend but Ragnar taunted him with his friendship with Athelstan. Just like when he slept with Aslaug while married to Lagertha. Once he found out she was pregnant and he could have another son he moved her into Kattegat and expected Lagertha to accept that he would have another wife never considering her feelings. He treated Rollo poorly, too, at times. Ragnar didn't treat those he 'loved' very well. When Ivar was a tiny baby he took him out in the forest and left him to die because he didn't want people thinking he could produce a son who wasn't healthy and strong. Poor Ivar could have been eaten by a wild animal. Thank goodness Aslaug saved him.

"I hope that some day.. our Gods can become friends" Man that hits so deep.
