Show Times Glorification of a Serial Killer


"Examine Everything Carefully, hold on to the good"

(1 Thessalonians 5:21)



In recent years, the motion picture and television industry has been emboden in wickedness and has really pushed the envelope and broadcast movies and television shows that have broken the moral glass window on public decency. Every conceivable subject previously considered morally taboo and beyond the ethical bounds is now commonly depicted. But a new television show called "Dexter" has broken the mold and is broadcasting a weekly disturbing show whose central figure is a serial killer.

Michael C. Hall one of the stars of the cult hit "Six Feet Under" now stars as "Dexter", forensic expert by day and twisted serial killer by night.

Dexter in his normal life is a "blood splat" expert who is good at his job, has lots of friends, a girlfriend and a loving sister.

What the world does not know is that Dexter is also a serial killer who grotesquely murders other serial killers who some how beat the legal system to continue their heinous crimes against humanity.

The show frequently depicts "flashback" sequences that show Dexter as an adopted child learning how to systematically channel his serial killer rage undetected by his police officer Father, who realizes early on that Dexter demonstrates psychopathic and homicidal tendencies. Instead of getting the help Dexter needs or institutionalizing the youth, his father uses his knowledge of the law and forensic evidence to cultivate Dexter into an efficient and clever serial killer who channels his rage and propensity to perpetuate twisted murders, to kill only serial killers who fly under the radar of justice.

Many critics of the show Dexter call the show "Disturbing" and so it is, since the show borders on glorifying heinous crimes and blurs the lines of objective morality.

As morally bankrupt Hollywood descents further and further down the black hole of unthinkable immorality and abominable vice, Evangelicals and social conservatives must take their stand and publicly decry such unnecessary smut. The only thing that conscience free Hollywood cares about is money, and to hold it fiscally accountable, we must vote and speak out as a unified bloc, lest more and more decrepit shows that eviscerate the ethical fabric of society, like Dexter further contaminate our national airwaves further hastening our collective plummet into a darkened pit of no return. God have mercy upon America for not at once rejecting shows like "Dexter" which we must reject and speak out against like many of us did the recent O.J. Simpson book and show that almost aired. May this country turn from its grave wickedness towards Jesus Christ and His cross of redemption before it is too too late, and Almighty God arises to judge the earth.
