There went his peaceful retirement starting at 18. Which made his parents so proud that he couldn't just go back to the forge and, spirits damn it all, he had to go and become an adventurer. Still, his emerging guardian skills turned out to be an immense boon and he was lauded for the accomplishment. Unfortunately there were losses on their side too, and some close calls for Jay himself. There were a few small skirmishes while Jay and his teacher got the homestead more properly armed, and then a final fight where they managed to push the Svanir back. Jay, apprentice to the local blacksmith, became one of the figureheads of the defense because even for a norn he's big and strong, and also because he has a sense of responsibility the size of the Pacific Ocean. They'd always had some issues with them but now it seems they were pushing for expansion, and looking to steamroll the homestead entirely. His inciting heroic incident, so to say, is the homestead he grew up in being attacked by svanir trying to gain ground. Our society of little gods is in the grip of lust, and the cost is immeasurable. John Paul II: “The opposite of love is not hate it’s use.” Use in the context of sex is lust: lust takes, Love gives lust forces, Love receives lust divides, Love bonds. This attitude toward sex and others leads to their objectification, a condition decried by St. It is impossible to build and grow healthy, stable, and loving marriages and families (the basis of a healthy civilization) when sex is viewed in this way AND when one sees oneself as a god. If the potential partner is unwilling, then alcohol, rohypnol, or other drugs are available to “encourage” their willingness. If a new human life results from the sexual encounter, which is the expected outcome of sex between a sexually mature man and woman in the natural order of things, that human being (who exists from the instant of union between sperm and ovum as a genetically distinct and separate human person from the mother in whose body it finds itself) is liable to be sentenced to death for merely existing. If a flesh and blood partner is unavailable, then pornography and masturbation are promoted to our public-school students by Planned Parenthood and their ilk as reasonable substitutes, and the horrendous consequences of pornography addiction and the pornography industry be damned. Sex trumps all other concerns: a person is told implicitly and explicitly that his/her right to sex whenever and with whomever they please is inviolable regardless of the consequences to self or others. While the catechisms of the new religions have been pervasive across culture, they have been most influential in the arena of sex. I submit that even the most devoted disciple of this “new age” preponderance of religions will find him/herself caught in a maelstrom of conflicting ideas with a resultant high level of anxiety and depression – both of which are epidemic in the western world where these new religions are most ardently promoted. Each person is their own source of moral authority and their own reference point for acceptable behavior. Each person’s needs/wants are seen by that individual to be sacrosanct by the rest of society, regardless of those personal desires’ inanity and whether they violate the law, natural or legislated. With no consideration for the potentially catastrophic consequences of such an option, our culture encourages each individual human being to see himself/herself as a personal deity. In the absence of a deity outside of the self to whom all (or nearly all) acknowledge allegiance and ?, nature, which abhors a vacuum, has supplied a new deity, or billions, to be more precise. In this “post-Christian” world which now engulfs each one of us, chaos is gaining in ascendence.
