Killin’, Killin’, Killin’. That pretty much sums up all of my favorite TV shows. Peaky Blinders, Godless, Vikings, Knightfall, The Last Kingdom, and El Chapo. Great acting, great writing, great production values, and, last but not least, great history. Human history is, after all, like it or not, an epic saga of people killing other people.
As Americans, most white Americans anyway, we live lives far removed from murder. That’s not the norm. It’s the Western Christian civilization exception. In the past Christians have done their share of killing in defense of Christendom and in theological wars within Christendom, but these days, it’s relatively peaceful here in Europe, the U.S., the U.K., and the rest of what used to be called Christendom.
Outside of Christendom, the killing goes on. Within Christendom the faith is slowly dying. It is being replaced by militant ideological homosexuality, feminism, transgenderism, communism, and materialism, i.e. by Satan, the Father of Lies, the King of all isms. The one true church is ruled by a Marxist Pope. Many of the other churches are plagued by confidence men and half-heartedness.
I have not met Jesus Christ myself, but I believe in Him.
Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done. On Earth as it is in Heaven. Amen.
