1. War is contrary to the will of Odin.

“The earth belongs to God and is intrinsically good.”

Parse error – the earth is good? Well it is a nice place, especially for species that evolved for 4 billion years to fit in, but “intrinsically good” doesn’t make any sense at all. Oh well I guess if you start with nonsense…

Don’t get me wrong, there are some nice ideas in there somewhere, but such confused thinking shouldn’t be promoted.
