I am doing a rewatch of Supernatural. Which looking back, I didn't notice how anti-Christian it was. I used to really enjoy the show but watching it now the anti-Christian shit is really overt and bugs me. Sorry that wasn't the reason I was writing, just a tangent.
There's a scene in season 8 with Sam hitting a dog with a carand he takes it to the vet. The vet who treats the dog is a woman. After paying for the surgery and waiting to see if the dog is okay, the vet asks him to take the dog. Sam says he can't and was just trying to do the right thing getting the dog help. And this bitch says, "If you were interested in doing the right thing you wouldn't have hit him with your car." Sam says he is sorry but he did the right thing taking care of the dog. And this broad responds by looking at the receptionist and saying, "Give this man his medal for doing the right thing."
I'm sorry but it's galling that a guy does the right thing, and bitchy poo is giving him shit.
This is why our culture is anti-Christian. Decades and decades of propaganda. Some of it overt. Some of it less so. Millions and millions of people watching the same TV shows, the same movies, playing the same games. Perhaps it's possible for a mature adult like yourself who is firm in the faith to notice and reject, but what about the children? What about young adults? Now I wonder why so many young people eventual end up rejecting the faith?
This is why I think that everyone should be very very conscious and cautious about the media they consume. It's designed to get into your head, to manipulate you. It's actually very hard to avoid that. Think of this scenario. A flyer arrives in the mail advertising some crap you don't think you need. But what the heck, I'll have a quick look through it. Then, oh look - that's interesting, maybe I could do with that? Not every item, not every flyer, but it does happen. The advertising works, that's why they do it. And you can't effectively avoid this by telling yourself "I'll look at the flyer but I'm not going to buy anything". The solution that does work is throwing the flyer in the trash before looking at it.
Think about how that applies to the other media people consume.
Yes it was true for me. I consumed so much media without thinking about the effects on myself or the macro effect on my family and community. Just mindless consumption at a near obsessive level.
