People don’t realize just how far the US has gone down to the pit. Change happens slowly enough that we don’t see just how much change has taken place.

It hit me pretty hard when I started watching old TV shows on Amazon Prime. God and Christianity permeates the standard TV fare of the day. everything from Twilight Zone to Route 66 to (to a lesser degree) Star Trek. It seems today like the product of a foreign culture that just happens to speak the same English we do.

We live in a horribly corrupt culture. As a culture, we are not the good guys.

I’ve noticed some religious statements on old TV shows.

For example, I recently saw the first episode of “The Real McCoys” , with Walter Brennan. In that show, the family traveled from West Virginia to a farm they inherited in California. In that episode, Walter Brennan thanked God for getting them to California safely, and thanked God for the rundown farm they would be living at. And he also thanked God for giving them the strength and materials needed to rebuild the farm and get it up and running.

It occurred to me that you would never see such a scene in a TV show made today.

While I’ll agree things are changing and that the Democrats have welcomed the militant anti-God types, I still have faith that this is still the most Christian country on the planet.

The attitude you’re seeing from the left, mocking those that are Christian (they don’t target other religions), has been the norm in Europe for a long time, decades in fact.

Yup- we watch old TV shows from the 60’s 70’s 80’s- even the 40’s and God and prayer and church etc are frequent themes in the stories- as are moral values and lessons- Where they say their prayers- thank God for Food etc- shows like the rifleman, cisco kid, etc- where Christian living is often espoused as a triumph to evil- it’s just shocking how far we’ve devolved
