Secular humanism, with its denial of ethical and moral absolutes, leads to calls for ethical subjectivism and relativism, and the psychology of self actualization, which leads to moral permissiveness, and experimental lifestyles.Sexual permissiveness and destruction of the traditional family and marriage are the result.
Times change. Usually not for the better it seems.
Those who ascribe to Humanism not only define morality for themselves, but use the Laws of God and traditional morality based on same
as a “counter guideline” as to what should be valued and disdained.
Not true. The old pagans had respect for life, for family, for courage and for decency. Thus C.S. Lewis:
Cliche Came Out of its Cage
1
You said 'The world is going back to Paganism'.
Oh bright Vision! I saw our dynasty in the bar of the House
Spill from their tumblers a libation to the Erinyes,
And Leavis with Lord Russell wreathed in flowers, heralded with flutes,
Leading white bulls to the cathedral of the solemn Muses
To pay where due the glory of their latest theorem.
Hestia's fire in every flat, rekindled, burned before
The Lardergods. Unmarried daughters with obedient hands
Tended it. By the hearth the white-armd venerable mother
Domum servabat, lanam faciebat. At the hour
Of sacrifice their brothers came, silent, corrected, grave
Before their elders; on their downy cheeks easily the blush
Arose (it is the mark of freemen's children) as they trooped,
Gleaming with oil, demurely home from the palaestra or the dance.
Walk carefully, do not wake the envy of the happy gods,
Shun Hubris. The middle of the road, the middle sort of men,
Are best. Aidos surpasses gold. Reverence for the aged
Is wholesome as seasonable rain, and for a man to die
Defending the city in battle is a harmonious thing.
Thus with magistral hand the Puritan Sophrosyne
Cooled and schooled and tempered our uneasy motions;
Heathendom came again, the circumspection and the holy fears ...
You said it. Did you mean it? Oh inordinate liar, stop.
2
Or did you mean another kind of heathenry?
Think, then, that under heaven-roof the little disc of the earth,
Fortified Midgard, lies encircled by the ravening Worm.
Over its icy bastions faces of giant and troll
Look in, ready to invade it. The Wolf, admittedly, is bound;
But the bond wil1 break, the Beast run free. The weary gods,
Scarred with old wounds the one-eyed Odin, Tyr who has lost a hand,
Will limp to their stations for the last defence. Make it your hope
To be counted worthy on that day to stand beside them;
For the end of man is to partake of their defeat and die
His second, final death in good company. The stupid, strong
Unteachable monsters are certain to be victorious at last,
And every man of decent blood is on the losing side.
Take as your model the tall women with yellow hair in plaits
Who walked back into burning houses to die with men,
Or him who as the death spear entered into his vitals
Made critical comments on its workmanship and aim.
Are these the Pagans you spoke of? Know your betters and crouch, dogs;
You that have Vichy water in your veins and worship the event
Your goddess History (whom your fathers called the strumpet Fortune).
Makes you just want to go and put a ring on her finger. Right, guys?
For most guys in college, it's still not like that. The "liberated" women are pursuing hookups with a relatively small contingent of desirable males. I would guess 20% of the guys are getting 80% of the interest.
The "alpha males" will readily accept women for sex and a little intimacy, but will be FAR more picky when asked for commitment. I knew such a guy in college: handsome, athletic, smart, later became a successful professional. I talked to him last year, and he was in his 50's and never married.
Meanwhile, the hookup girls spend their 20's chasing the alpha males, wind up hitting 30 and decide to "settle" for some regular guy. They are then disappointed and bitter when the guys are uninterested in their high-mileage selves. (My wife was smart and got me in my 20's).
Agreed.
As they say about incest, casual meaningless sex is better than no sex al all. lol
Personally, I find that type of woman disgusting and hardly worthy of any respect whatsoever.
My solution is to ignore them. However, couple this style of behavior with a demographic of fatherless urban 'yutes' who have no respect for these females either...and who these females seem to idolize...and you get an exponential increase in domestic abuse and outright violence against women.
It's more like "a man will tend to bond with a woman who gives him sex and affection". Meanwhile, a woman will experience desire for a man if she sees him as being very high quality, in an effort to bond him to her.
so the point of the left is that females are there to serve the physical whims of males.
Incest is relative. :-)
Why not? I've read there's plenty of young lasses looking for a sugar daddy>
This article made me think of a potential pick-up line:
"Are you liberated?"
If the answer is 'yes", the next line is "Let's f---!"
Young guys do NOT have that mindset. Women are kidding themselves if they think they can have the guy mindset just because they physically act like guys.
Princess riverdawg confirms this from observing her friends at college, who are all chasing after the same three or four “hotties.”
“Meanwhile, the hookup girls spend their 20’s chasing the alpha males, wind up hitting 30 and decide to “settle” for some regular guy. They are then disappointed and bitter when the guys are uninterested in their high-mileage selves.”
I know at least a half dozen single women in their mid-to-late 30s who fit this description perfectly.
I do wonder sometimes if women are being asked to become men.
“On a lighter note, genealogy research will be almost impossible to do.”
Yes, it will be all about the individual. Not where someone came from or who they came from. Of course asking who conceived someone will be difficult to ascertain when there are two mommies and two daddies, each of whom want to take credit for the birth, perhaps even the conception, that may be biologically related to one of them or to neither of them. Yet why tell Jr. where Jr.’s roots lay or is it lie?
“And the follies of youth will lead to the loneliness of later life.”
The girls I knew when young who were well known for their casual hookups were pretty popular back in the day. Today, they are lonely, unhappy women. Obviously a small test pool, but there are no exceptions. Facebook is brutal that way.
>>I’m not sure why men would want women to believe them incapable of love, nor why men would want to believe that about themselves. Maybe a man can explain.
Personally, I love my wife and we’ve been together for 10 years. The gateway into any relationship for MOST men is sexual attractiveness. The keeper is a loving relationship with (you guessed it) continual sex. We’re on our third kid now thanks to it.
