NotHomeYet has just left Hobbiton.

One of the main beliefs of all the Christians I've ever known (ha, yeah, that includes yours truly, if you hadn't already guessed) is that there IS no difference between corruption and experience.

While Tolkien doesn't exactly give us an outline of Middle Earth's sexual mores, he certainly came from a generation in which premarital sex was frowned upon, and was likely to have picked up on that. Besides, the Catholic church is famous for being pretty staunch on that point...

Well, I'll just stick with my theory, thank'ee much... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The signs are obvious
They are everywhere
All that we hear about
Is the gloom and despair
Too many would be prophets
Saying it's the end of it all
'Cause Mother Earth can't take much more
The skies are gonna fall
So nature has its needs
That's a lesson learned
But it appears to me
There are greater concerns
'Cause we can save the planet
Thinking we will somehow survive
But Father Time is calling us
To save somebody's life

So I won't bend and I won't break
I won't water down my faith
I won't compromise in a world of desperation
What has been, I cannot change
For tomorrow and today
I must be a light to future generations
