“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” -Isaiah 5:20
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock . . . And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.”
-Matthew 7:24-26
Since the Ten Commandments were etched, man has been trying to find ways to justify the breaking of God’s Law, and encouraging others to do the same. In the garden the serpent challenged the voracity of God’s word, and “Did God really say has been echoing ever since. Something in man is not satisfied with the mere breaking of the law; he is compelled to show that it is justified, for God’s commands are unrealistic or deeply flawed. He can’t just disobey he feels compelled to create loopholes for himself.
In our day the entertainment industry is involved in a full frontal assault on Christian morality. It’s strategy is quite simple. 1) Shock the audience by showing someone brazenly breaking a commandment, then 2) Keep showing it broken in film after film show after show, until they are totally desensitized to it, then finally 3) Start making films and TV shows that twist the conscience of the audience by showing people breaking the law in a way that seems justified to the point where you actually begin rooting for the guilty party. Shock, Desensitize, Twist.
This strategy has been so effective that even I find it hard to believe that 70 years ago the presence of the word “Damn” in a film was shocking. Believe it or not there was once a time where lying, cheating, and stealing were ALWAYS wrong. In recent years cable dramas have taken this to a whole new level. Who would have thought you could get people to root for a meth cook? Easy, have a likable high school teacher with terminal cancer start making meth in order to provide for his family after he dies and you have the Emmy award winning series Breaking Bad. Can you make people root for a serial killer? Have a like-able police forensics expert fed up with injustice become a serial killer who kills only criminals who got away with it, and you have average Americans rooting for the serial killer “Dexter”.
How long before Hollywood finds a script which will make us root for child molesters? Unless our morals are built on the rock of God’s word our conscience will crumble under the deluge of Hollywood propaganda.
