Welcome in our Pig world

This past week my brothers (14 and 12 yrs old) and my father went away on a 5 day trip. The house remained spotless during those 5 days. Everything was in order and where it was supposed to be, but then once they arrived, in less than 24hrs. the house was a mess. Especially the kitchen, dirty dishes everywhere, they spilled something on the floor and didn’t clean it, dirty napkins on the floor and table. All sorts of disgusting things, the doggone house looked like a frickin’ toxic waste plant. They don’t even bother to clean it up. they just hang around and watch TV around the mess. I have tried to make them understand that that is totally DISGUSTING! but it doesn’t seem to go into their brains! and my mom goes crazy, because afterwards she expects ME to clean the **** up. What can I do to make them understand that hygiene and cleanliness are important!?

After death: Those who die in battle will be carried to Valhall by the Valkyries. There they will eat Saehrimnir (a pig that is daily slaughtered and resurrected) with the Gods. The Goddess Hel (who’s name has been borrowed by Christians) rules over dishonorable people (oath breakers) and those who die ingloriously of old age. Niflhel is the the abode for all others.

The end of the world: Ragnarök (a.k.a. Ragnarøkkr, Ragnarøk, Ragnarok; literally the fate of the Gods) is the anticipated apocalypse. It involves a great battle between the Gods and the Jötnar — a race of giants with superhuman strength. Unlike Revelation in the Christian Scriptures, prophecies of Ragnarök are very specific: the events leading up to the battle, the timing of the battle, who will kill whom, etc. are all known. Wolves will eat the sun and moon. The stars will stop shining. Mountains will fall; trees will be uprooted; “Fumes will reek and flames will burst, scorching the sky with fire. The earth will sink into the sea.” Most of the Gods will die. Only one woman and one man, Lifthrasir and Lif, will survive. Their offspring will eventually repopulate the world and live in peace.

It sates itself on the life-blood
of fated men,
paints red the powers’ homes
with crimson gore.
Black become the sun’s beams
in the summers that follow,
weathers all treacherous.
Do you still seek to know? And what?
~Poetic Edda, Völspa, Stanza 44.

Brothers will fight
and kill each other,
sisters’ children
will defile kinship.
It is harsh in the world,
whoredom rife
—an axe age, a sword age
—shields are riven—
a wind age, a wolf age—
before the world goes headlong.
No man will have
mercy on another.
~ Poetic Edda, Völva, stanza 44

“Earth shall be riven
and the over-heaven.”
~ Skarpåker Stone, Södermanland, Sweden
I was not attacking christianity, I was comparing it. Also stating facts, like our Hel, is where you get your hell.
