Beleg Strongbow (a poem)

Beleg Strongbow

A Sindarin Elf of Doriath was he.
Warrior woodsmen that came to be
In Thingol’s realm, an archer to be feared.
Haladin aided, a War of Unnumbered Tears.

A Year of Lamentation ensued.
Battle Grief was readily viewed.
Apprenticed Túrin, in arms and deed.
Two great captains, giving aid in need.

Although a bowman by right,
Yet in his last year did take
The sword Anglachel to fight.
His enemies fled in its wake.

His friend Túrin was captured and subdued.
The Orcish captors took him from Amon Rûdh.
Beleg rescued Túrin from this grisly end.
But Túrin bewitched, slays his dear, good friend.

And so passes Beleg, the Strongbow Sindarin Elf,
Betrayed by a sword’s malice and a friend to himself.
His Bow Belthronding is buried with him
As Túrin grieves for his unknowing whim.

Evolution Disclaimer Statement

The following statement should be added as a disclaimer of the Theories of Evolution (i.e. Darwinistic-based theories on natural selection) wherever scientific-ish statements are made that rely heavily upon the validity of Evolution.

Based upon the assumptions which form the foundation of Darwinistic-based biological evolution, the following hypotheses, for which there is no physical evidence, have been derived.

Where it may be approved within the discussion section of articles, I will attempt to add this disclaimer wherever it might bring clarity to the topic.

Position on Embryonic/Fetal Abortion

There needs to be either a full-frontal attack on embryonic/fetal abortion, as the blatant murder of innocent human life or a large-scale, final acceptance that an embryo is not human life (i.e. it is neither human nor living) and therefore does not have the right to life.

The argument that a woman should be able to make the decision, to have an embryonic abortion, on her own "because she is an adult" is based upon two ridiculous assumptions. First, it assumes she is an adult, while the majority of abortions are performed on teenage girls, who are often not given a choice but are instead coerced and/or compelled by either their parents or their boyfriends. Second, it asserts that being an adult gives someone the right to decide when another human being's life is neither necessary nor desirable and may therefore be terminated--sounds a lot like anarchy.

My personal position, that human life begins at the moment of conception, dictates that embryonic abortion is wrong--regardless of the reason--because it is indeed murder. The only exception would be for the necessity of saving the mother's life, but this necessity has been all but eliminated within modernized countries.

Abortion isn't really the defining issue between those on the political left and those on the political right. Sanctity of Life is. The unfortunate fact that leftists tend to dismiss the sanctity of life is one of the main reasons why they are producing offspring below the replacement rate (while those on the right are reproducing above the replacement rate) and are therefore forced to increase their numbers through proselytization in the universities, by the means of data manipulation and historical revision.

I ask the question, How can it be a woman's Constitutional Right to murder a human being within his most vulnerable stage of life...?

Indeed, embryonic/fetal abortion is the most heinous form of evil, for in this act, a human being, existing within the most vulnerable stage of life, is betrayed and murdered by the very person upon whom he is completely dependent, the very person who should have loved him without measure, though to all the world he was unknown.

Position on Homosexuality (1)

Without question, homosexuals deserve to be treated just as courteously as any heterosexual. Courtesy is something that every individual owes to every other individual, particularly if he desires to be treated courteously himself. But being courteous does not necessarily mean being blindly tolerant.

There is a point being made that homosexuals have not chosen their homosexuality, but this point is largely irrelevant. The real question at hand is not “Has so-and-so chosen to have a particular desire or inclination?” but instead “Has that person decided to act upon it?”

There are many people in the prison systems who literally can not control their harmful--sometimes deadly--desires, but an inability to disassociate oneself from a desire should not be a “permission slip” for licentiousness. For example, pedophilia should not be excused based upon the reasoning that a man who suffers from desires to perform sexual acts upon children did not choose this perversion. Homosexuality, though not as violent, is no less a sexual perversion, as nature itself proves it to be physically, emotionally and (most importantly) spiritually damaging.

Though all have the right, within the God Blessed United States of America, to associate themselves with homosexuality (i.e. possessing sexual desires for members of the same gender), no one should encourage or even excuse the act of homosexuality (i.e. performing sensual acts, ranging from intimate embraces to forms of sexual penetration, with members of the same gender)--to encourage such behavior is no less cruel or reckless than to commit violence against a man, because he has admitted to homosexual tendencies.

Heterosexuals need to reach out in charity, embracing in godliness and with kindness those involved in homosexuality, offering whatever help may be given in an effort to set them free from the chains of this addictive and destructive lifestyle.

Position on Homosexuality (2)

Homosexuality, including lesbianism, is a sexual fetish. No fetish deserves special legal protection. No practitioner of a fetish should be eligible for special treatement from the government, nor should he be counted worthy of an acknowledged presence, based upon his fetish, within society.

Homosexuality is an inherently dangerous and destructive fetish, particularly when practiced between males.

• Physically, it is far-and-away the number one cause for the spreading of the disease HIV/AIDS (within modern societies) and is inherently damaging to those parts of the body used for engaging in the act of homosexuality, particularly sexual penetration.
  
• Emotionally, it has a tendency to alienate open participants from respectable society, which results in loneliness and despair, but more importantly the lifestyle itself leaves the practitioners feeling empty and unfulfilled, driving them to participate in more dangerous and more harmful practices as they seek to achieve that original emotional high.
  
• Spiritually, it decimates any relationship between the homosexual and his Creator. As seen in His Holy Word, God clearly views the act of homosexuality as an abomination and treats it as a curse upon mankind, which needs to be purged. In the Old Testament Law, God commanded the Israelites to remove this sin from their Theocracy using deadly force upon the practitioners (Genesis 19:1-11; Leviticus 18:22-30, 20:13; Deuteronomy 23:17; Isaiah 3:9), and in the New Testament, individuals are instructed to shun sexual sins, killing within themselves those desires that could lead to this deadly practice or any other sinful lifestyle (Romans 1:21-32; I Corinthians 6:9-11; I Timothy 1:5-16; Jude 1-11).

Tolerating homosexuality may seem humane and civilized, but in actuality it is cruel and cowardly. If someone insists upon participating in this sexual fetish, he should do so privately, without shaming himself and mocking decency by announcing it to the world, and he should be prepared to live with its devastating consequences.
