Oh heaven help us....which "God "are you talking about?

<Sigh...> 'You' can't even spell "Odin" correctly...... Is Odin the god 
you are on about?

Please tell me something - otherwise I will be sleeping restlessly and 
wondering: when you cross yourself during a church service do you 
perform the sign of the cross with thumb/first finger/second finger 
together and from the forehead/navel/left shoulder/right shoulder to 
form the cross, or using the whole hand from forehead/nave/right 
shoulder/left shoulder?
