John 15:19-21
English Standard Version (ESV)
19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
As Christians we've enjoyed a very friendly environment to practice our faith in the U.S., but make no mistake that is changing. There is a secular anti-God movement that is penetrating our culture. The irony is this country was founded in large part because of religious oppression, yet here we are 236 years later seeing the ground work to religious oppression being laid yet again. It's subtle and many will laugh it off as just entertainment and claim that we are reading too much into it, yet the road to oppression, hate and tyranny is always paved first in entertainment. The reason? Entertainment is simply a reflection of society. The tide is turning. Take notice Christian.
