In many parts of the world, Christians like to pretend they are being persecuted for being Christian. I am not talking about the areas in which Christians truly are being prosecuted. Of course, these places do exist.
I am talking about claims such as not being allowed to say “Merry Christmas” or actual truths like the Christian prayer being removed from public school that translate to some, as ‘persecution’. Some also feel like the acceptance of gay rights is an ‘attack’ on their own belief system.
However, they need to be reminded that the powers-that-be that control the world, or, as George Carlin put it, ‘the real owners’ are totally in favor of religion, and in fact, use religion, since they started colonization of the ‘new world’ until today.
If you’re not familiar with George Carlin’s famous rant called The Game Is Rigged, please watch this. It’s a short video where Carlin brilliantly details the truth about politicians being puppets for the ‘real owners’, and the voting process being a mechanism to manipulate us into thinking that we have a vote and a say.
Government Control Through Religion
Government is still doing their part to keep you following the religion that keeps you under control.
Did you know that “In God We Trust” is actually the official national motto of the United States, appearing on every form of currency and on many government buildings?
Other countries, Canada, Nicaragua, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, currencies contain the same or similar mentions of god.
The Canadian national motto “From Sea To See” comes from a Bible verse, Psalm 72:8 “He shall have dominion from sea to sea”.
In many countries, sworn legal oaths use the phrase “so help me God”, or similar wording.
Courtrooms ask people to swear on the Bible when testifying with the notion to scare people into telling the truth, with the narrative being, “If you swear on the Bible and lie, you will go to hell and burn alive forever”.
How about those tax breaks that churches receive in many countries around the world? That’s a big one.
Consider the fact that the Roman Catholic schools are tax payer funded in many countries? While citizens around the world are feeling the pinch of high taxes, the churches programming your minds are not.
The archaic “Royal” families remain in place partially to keep Christianity relevant. Check out the lyrics to the UK’s national anthem.
God save our gracious King,
Long live our noble King,
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the King !
The Canadian national anthem’s wording was actually changed in 1980 to reflect a belief in, and a prayer to god. Specifically, the second last line of the song originally was “Oh Canada glorious and free” and was changed to “God keep our land glorious and free”.
Of course Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter are still observed with these being government-instituted statutory holidays.
The Media Effect
Christians have enjoyed content that confirmed their beliefs via the programming of tell-a-vision, radio and major motion films.
Billy Graham helped to translate the concept of the horrific ‘crusades’ to something else – something much less sinister but possibly just as effective for gaining converts. Graham had been been using the television media since the early 1950’s and his crusades were shown around the world. With his soft-spoken approach, he became a respected figure of Christianity and appeared as guest on talk shows like Larry King.
Other television ‘programming’ included yearly showings of A Charlie Brown Christmas and other Christmas and Easter specials. Regular shows like Little House On The Prairie and The Waltons, Bonanza, Highway To Heaven, Touched By An Angel.
Hollywood movies with Christian themes were the norm. Every decade had Christian blockbusters put out by Major Motion Picture Studios with “A List” stars – The Sign Of The Cross, From The Manger To The Cross, The Ten Commandments, Chariots of Fire, Sampson And Delilah, David and Bathsheba, Ben Hur, A Man For All Seasons, Chariots Of Fire, Les Miserables, King Of Kings, Risen, The Greatest Story Ever Told, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Exorcist, Godspell etc.
Besides the secular studios, Christian based studios also had their blockbusters – In Search Of Noah’s Ark, The Cross And The Switchblade, God’s Not Dead, The Passion Of The Christ.
Do I need to mention the fact that television talk shows and church services are broadcast on regularly broadcasted?
Politics
Politics is a huge one and the politicians know it. A photo of Trump being prayed for or Trump holding a Bible is really all that some voters require to gain loyalty they can never question.
A very telling five part Netflix documentary series, The Family – a five- investigates The Family (also known as The Fellowship) and how this conservative Christian group influences American and global politics. It’s an interesting watch.
Keeping It Relevant
Changing up the music from dismal hymns to feel-good songs with a beat certainly helped keep Christianity relevant.
Headlines of new converts like Jordan Peterson or Russell Crow certainly help. What is really going on behind the scenes here?
Bottom Line – Religions Divide
The Real Owners have always thrived through the ‘divide and conquer’ strategy.
Watch the way the news media slants their articles. Watch the way the ‘ever lovin’ Christians tell people of other religions to “go back home”, while claiming this is their land, while also forgetting the people who were on that land before colonialism through Christianity brought their ancestors to that land.
“They” have got you where they want you. On one side of the divide and not looking at ‘them’.
