Strength Comes from Virtue.

The main source of Regly's strength to stand against the Nephullum was that he held on to clear sense of right and wrong directed by God's teachings. The reason for that is that a strong sense of morals and ethics create virtue in a person and it is virtue that produces strength. If one knows that they are right it will give them the strength to resist temptation and be willing to sacrifice for their beliefs and cause but if a person does not have virtue it will leave them open to being lead around blindly by evil leaders. It is absolutes that protect us from the abirtary decesions of men. The Nephullum as a whole lost their virtue and became weak which resulted them being lead astray by evil leaders but Regly was able to stand against a whole evil culture because his virtue gave him the strength to.

The Main Influences of the Nephullum Culture

When I was developing the Nephullum culture I was influenced by two things. The first one was religous hypcrosy. I grew up in church and I have seen the effects of religous hypocrites. I have seen them be the first to go to church and volunteer and place themselves up front and then they use their activities to justify bad behavior they feel that they are so important to the church that they can act anyway they choose. At first the Nephullum were good and served God but as time went on they became religous hyprocrites and that opened the door for them to be blind to their own faults and sins. The second thing that influenced me was the hippie culture of the 1960's unlike most Americans I do not respect the hippie culture I feel like that was one of the most shameful episodes in American history in fact I put it right up there with slavery. My reasoning is very sound because of the unforgiveness they had towards their parents they are now trying to destroy everything their parents built and that culture just enabled their unforgivness and self pity instead of encouraging them to learn from the mistakes of their parents and to improve but instead they have become something worse than their parents and this caused me to model the Nephullum after the hippies from the perversion, drug use and self rightousness to finally their ultimate fate which is in my book just go to wwww.ageofarrogancenovel.com
