What I like in Charactors

Whenever I watch a TV show or a movie most of the time I leave feeling unstatisfied with the entertainment experience mainly because I was not satisified with the charactors and the way they were developed. I feel like most shows relie too much upon special effects or weird story lines instead of taking the extra steps it takes to develop charactors. I do not want to get into examples right now because I feel it would be a distraction from my entry but I can say this when I was writing this book I worked very hard on charactor development. I showed why the charactors behaved the way they did. I also put a lot of effort to make sure there was no questions left on why this happened, or what happened. After all if someone buys my book I want to make sure they get the best possible reading experience because I consider it a privilege for people to read my stuff.

All is not relative

In this book I was trying to show how can impact an entire culture. I know most people do not take the subject serious and it is only something that nerds talk about in school. This very far from the truth because philosophy is in every aspect of our lives which is not bad if it is a philosophy based upon Christian beliefs but if it is not based on Christian beliefs it can be very destructive to an entire culture because it will cause people to act in a self destructive manner. This is what I tried to show in the book Age of Arrogance on how philosophy can destroy an entire culture and the dangers of following beliefs that are not based upon the the Bible.

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

The Message of the Book

The message that I am trying to show in the Age of Arrogance is to realistically protray the effects of a sinful lifestyles on individuals and eventually a whole culture. I am so tired of seeing so much entertainment show that it is accutially normal and healthy for people to participate in perversion or drug use or lie.etc... Which actually very far from the truth. I have worked with a lot of people who's lives have been destroyed from living that way and I hope to make some people think that there is consquences for their behavior. Sinful lifestyles makes a culture sick and does not make it stronger.

Uniquely Christian

When I started to work on the Age of Arrogance I wanted to create something that was uniquely Christian. I did not want to copy anyone else's ideas. I did not want wizards,vampires,werewolves or anything from popular sci fi shows. So I choose the Nephullum. I have to admit that I have seen a few things with the Nephullum in them but they did not do justice in the way they were protrayed. The first question I asked was what could of been their orgin? The second question I asked was how could they had fell? Those two questions caused a very corrupt culture to develop and a very brutal and primative worldview as well. So if you are curious how I protrayed the Nephullum just go to www.ageofarrogancenovel.com

Gods Judgement

When I wrote this story I was trying to portray what God's judgement really is like. In our culture we have the perception that God's judgement is natural disasters or lightening coming from the sky. Even though He can judge like that most of the time God's judgement comes from Him withdrawing His wisdom and allowing people to continue on with their destructive behavior. I showed that in the story. As the Nephullum were continuing to behave badly and choose rebellion God would respect their free will and allow them to follow the logical course of their behavior and at the end of the story they finally reaped everything they did and the judgement did not come from God but rather from their foolish choices. If you are curious about the foolish choices they made just go to www.ageofarrogancenovel.com
