Among the early Germans a man accused of a crime had to prove his innocence, no proof of his guilt being incumbent on his accusers. The oath of a free man, strengthened by the oaths of friends, sufficed to establish his innocence, but when the oath was refused or the required number of "compurgators" (also called wager of law and oath-helping) failed, the defendant, if he was a free man, had to fight his accuser in single combat; bondmen and women had either to find a champion to fight for them or to undergo some other form of ordeal as fixed by law, arranged by the judge, or chosen by one of the parties.

^^ This was Odin's law system for you. Vargtards still wonder why Christianity (Roman or Arian doesn't matter) was so easily accepted as a superiour religion by Germanic tribes as early as the 3rd century AD.

if only you edgy retards would realize how laughable you are

Embrace Christ and repent for your sinful, blasphemous ways. God is merciful, God is good. But idolatry is a grave sin, persist and you'll regret it.
