I'm bored, let's shit on some Thoraboo bullshit

Vikings were anyone who raided and pillaged, it is a word that could just as easily be translated to "Pirate" or "Raider". Many were secular in thought and action, and they traded peacefully with many "incomparable cultures"
This presents a false dichotomy.

The Gods are Ancestors and vice versa.
Learn your own religion, Norskkk
Except for all that open trade, and migration that happened across the territories under their control.

Because as we all know, the Danelaw was known for being 100% Norse with no Celts or Saxons.
Except for the fact that you had Norse Pagans, Continental Pagans, Celts, Anglo-Saxons, Slaves, Jarls, and dozens of various regional traditions that were all part of "Norse Society"
Actually only those carried by the Valkyries and who are permissed by Freyja can go to Valhalla

The angle of the dangle don't matter if with your arms you can strangle.
No, but definitely worked for and alongside Muslims that they encountered and saw no significant difference between them or any other religion.
No, but they definitely would have been if a SubSaharan African ever made it that far North.
Then why the bloody hell is marriage?
And why were the female gods included during the creation of Kvasir and the tale of the Mead of Poetry?
Ah yes, the patriarchy that left women in charge of the home for weeks or months at a time.

The patriarchy that sees even Odin relent before the foresight, knowledge, and wisdom of the Norns
No, instead they simply had strong ideas of honour and a central deity whose entire thesis is helping people, Þor the Protector of Midgard

Never mind their strong family values and the concept of fostering prevalent in their society meant to give everyone the chance possible.
*facepalm*

All societies are tribal, just like all societies are familial and genial and special

This are levels at which we differentiate groups, it is not a unique form of classification.
This one is actually correct, but ima use it to rant.

Valhalla is not Heaven, you are serving Odin and going to die with him at Ragnarok.

The other half go to Folkvangr where they get to chill for eternity in peaceful meadows.
Unless it was over all of existence
