Friends, this really grieves my spirit, but television editor and writer Bill Whittle has really put his finger on the button here: Peter Griffin and Family Guy. This an entertainment show written by Seth MacFarlane. It's supposed to be just for fun, right?
Wrong. The liberal worldview in this country is so lacking in any moral value and sense of decency that entertainers now proudly and deliberately lead America's youth away from the kind of patriotism reserved for having been born in the particular country and culture in which one finds himself due to circumstances completely beyond his control. For Americans, this means God placed us here because He loves us in a special way, and we should be proud of this. We should celebrate our national pride in such a way that glorifies God and the American Way. The way it used to be when Superman was the most popular entertainment for American Youth.
Back in the days of national pride, when all Americans were decent, hard working, church-going white men and their families (and a few minorities who had the good sense to stay within their own neighborhoods), this was the hero the American Youth looked up to:
Today, American Youth know more about this make-believe character, "Peter Griffin" than any other real character. This make-believe character whose intelligence is officially below retarded, is the kind of hero American Youth have to look up to:
Only the True Christian™ faith can explain this phenomenon. If you recall that Jesus grew up surrounded by Jews, you'd know that He probably spoke Hebrew. Well, in this ugly language, the roots for the word "worship," "slave," and "servant" are the same. I found some interesting things about this word online, and so my interpretation is sound: "The Hebrew noun, avodah has several meanings: "service" in the sense of "worship" and "service" in the sense of "work, labor, employment." The three-letter Hebrewroot, ayin-vet-dalet, spells the verb, avad, to work. A "servant, slave" in Hebrew is eved
In the days of the Temple, the priests recited the Avodah ("Worship" prayer) after offering up sacrifices to the Lord. The Second Commandment prohibits idolatry: Lo to’ovdem, which translates to, "You shall not serve them [idols]." The ancients had a phrase for idolatry: avodah zarah, foreign or strange worship, that is, the idolatry and pagan practices abhorred by the LORD.
You can see the interesting play on words that the LORD designed to be uncovered in the superior American language thousands of years later:
We serve, become slaves to, and worship the same thing because that Thing becomes the Thing that is more important than any Thing else. This is precisely why Jesus commands us to store up our treasures in Heaven (Matthew 6:19-20), and explains that we cannot serve two masters (Matthew 6:24).
We are witnessing the first generation to stop dreaming about American Heroes like Superman and Jesus, and instead dream to emulate liberal buffoons like Peter Griffin.
I am not suggesting banning Family Guy. This is a battle for the heart, it will be won or lost on the battlefield of the individual's soul. I suggest we give that soul the armament it needs: Put Prayer Back In School! Put Jesus Back In Our Hearts!
