Netflix is developing a superhero show from a comic book, and America loves comic-book superheroes.
This one is about an American superhero, for modern American tastes, and it’s bilingual so this epic superhero show will be inclusive, too.
It involves a boy who suddenly and surprisingly discovers, in the way of all young superheroes, that he has amazing powers.
And not just any superpowers. He has power over death itself.

I don’t know much about “American Jesus.” But if you’ve got plenty of lumber and nails and pitch, now might be a good time to start building an ark.
We do know Netflix has set their new “American Jesus” on shaky theological ground, insisting that their Jesus has been reincarnated.
Reincarnated? Really? That’s not Christian theology. That’s Hollywood.
Netflix should be thrilled I’m not emperor, or I might burn the whole network as heretics.
But I have no desire to burn heretics or waste my time engaging in theological disputes with show-biz types. Rather, I have questions.
How does the boy realize he’s Jesus? Or does Netflix just skip over the trinity and go right to politics?
Does he come home after a baseball game, his coach having yelled at him for making three costly errors? He’s upset and kicks his glove across the living room floor and wakes his crazy Uncle Joe, who looks suspiciously like a maniacal former vice president of the United States.
“I’m all out of beer!” shouts crazy Uncle Joe. “We drank beer in Scranton, dammit! Working men drank beer!”
“Don’t worry Uncle Joe, drink this,” says the boy.
“I hate water … wait! It’s wine! You saved the best for last! Thanks, boy! Can you turn these toothpicks into cigarettes? Be a good lad.”
And what about his miracles?

I'm still not getting rid of my netflix. Too many really good foreign shows and amazon cannot measure up yet.
I’m just waiting for another season of Stranger Things.
Netflix broadcasting child porn isn’t enough for you? Are you waiting for live executions?
No more floods.
Next time — fire.
Netflix stock just swooned 15% in a single day due to a much lower subscription increase than anticipated. After they signed up Obama and Michelle and Michelle Wolf plus adding Susan Rice on the board of directors, a lot of people dropped their subscription and fewer are signing up.
“American Jesus” will only accelerate their demise.
Rather than ask you why you're still part of the problem, ask yourself -- if you got back all the time you spend on Netflix, what could you do with it?
Does Netflix lean left? Why conservatives may be tuning out in droves.
As for My house and I we shall worship the Lord
Not a celluloid hero !
I never watch and never will watch any of those shows. I’m thinking that they may come around sooner or later. I saw that that letterman has a show now. I ignored it and I no longer see it come up on my queue. The foreign content is excellent and as I have amazon as well I thought that they may be just as good but they are not. Hulu is awful.
Drink more beer? Plot against the neighbors? Arm myself against hippies and antifa?
“I’m still not getting rid of my netflix”
Then you can count yourself among the reasons that this travesty and others are produced.
Quit feasting on the mind poison from mass media....go out and get those foreign shows another way. I guarantee after 1 month of no mass media your mind will be much much freer. I did it a long time ago. Try it.
Messo-American Hayzeus?
No. Society is crashing with or without me.

I only subscribe to viki.com and dramafever.com to get my KDrama fix.
Your subscription money goes directly into producing those shows. If you’re fine with that on your conscience, don’t come complaining when they produce abominations. This is a company that put Susan Rice on its Board of Directors.
I hope you are not a Christian and supporting this heresy. Things won’t go well for you if you have any part of this. But maybe you are young and don’t think about these things.
Frankly, no Christian and no patriot should have anything whatsoever to do with Netflix (among many other things.)
Living supports this kind of garbage. I guess I could go live in a cave and not pay taxes and only barter. But how would I know that the folks I barter with are not somehow supporting garbage, directly or indirectly? I would not be able to read many books though as the publishing companies support garbage as well.
