I feel this is something we're all aware of, but it would be wise if we all remind ourselves of the biases that lie in the everyday world.
I'm trying to write a paper on anti-Christian biases in the media, and I need help.
Anti-Christian bias in the media
Nicholas Bailey
Blake Jenkins
Ask yourself why does this bias exist?
Alexander Robinson
Go back to Zig Forums.
Levi Jones
Oh no, I understand the jew stuff, I looking for more specific examples. Thank you, though.

Wall of text incoming:
Christian teachings conflict with current mainstream views. Christians value humility, generosity, modesty and tradition while current social trends value pride, greed, sex and progress.
We follow traditional gender roles, detest the act of abortion, and wish to maintain the absolute necessity of the family. The media, however, subscribes to feminist teachings, chants "my body, my choice", and believes that single-parent households and same-sex couples adopting children are just as functional as the traditional family.
We believe that there is only one true God, and we reject the beliefs of other religions, while the media wishes to be all-inclusive and appeal to everyone.
We openly disapprove and reject the acts of sodomy, adultery, and fornication, seeing them as sinful. Society just wants to do what makes it feel good, stating that "love is love" and that sexual vices don't affect us negatively.
We seek the light, and see ourselves as being in need of God's love and mercy, while society wishes to remain in the darkness, not to be bothered by their regrets or the judgements rendered onto them by themselves or others.
Because we don't agree with these things, and wish to rid the world of the evils that western culture seems to be so infatuated with, they paint us in a grim, negative image, as being self-righteous and over-zealous bigots who wish to keep society in the Medieval ages.
TL;DR:
The media hates us because we don't subscribe to their teachings, and we think that what they do in the name of inclusion and progress is deplorable.
Angel Evans
IMO, it is wrong to call it progress. That kind of "progress" is basically whatever allows people to act without any self control.

Pretending that a metric ton of Jews aren't Christian-haters is just burying your head in the sand.
Christopher White
There's a lot wrong with the overall Zig Forums mentality, but being aware of the evil influence of powerful Jews in the world is not a bad thing. Being ethnically Jewish doesn't make you evil in itself, however if you are ethnically Jewish there is a very high chance that you have been brought up in the evil culture of Talmudism, and ethnic Jews who have managed to obtain positions of power in the world are even more likely to be full blown Talmudists or worse.
Wyatt Johnson
Fixed.
Jaxson Ramirez
If you've got a post worth reading, it's not a "wall of text". Don't put it down like that.
Luis Mitchell
All these answers, but actually it is quite simple: We are easy to be attacked and they know that we wont go nuking them in retaliation.
Hudson Diaz
I recently watched this
Eating History: Italy Season 1 Episode 2 — Holy Food
and the anti-catholic tone was amazing. I'm not even mad.
William Miller
Christian bashing, bashing of males of all ethnicities, white bashing, anti-intellectualism, and yes a regularly adverse stance against economic policies of social nature is something both the conservative and the "liberal" wings of the msm will take.
Mason Cooper
Is that why the Catholics banned me from the official Zig Forums discord in favor of an open sodomite? Just curious. Seems pretty progressive if you ask me.
Christopher Hill
I'll take 'Things that never happened' for $500, Alex
Dylan Sanders
It's true, that "mimi" account was seen claiming to be "bisexual" and when I referred to them as a sodomite one time, I was banned by a Catholic mod almost immediately. They later said I "refused to stop." Apparently all my messages were deleted as well.
Asher Morris
You don't fucking say
Brayden Thompson
On most American TV shows the terrible people are often associated with Christianity.
Some good examples are:
The Middle: Early seasons are pretty good but it goes downhill. It's the best I can think of but it has some bias. Family is implied to be lapsed Catholics. There is a guitar playing priest who is portrayed in a generally positive light but characters seem to act a bit annoyed around him.
Blackish: It's been a while since I've seen it but I vaguely remember Christianity being cast in a vague light.
The Office (USA version): Angela, the only real Christian, is an adultering jerk. Dwight is implied to have some religious connection.
Nolan Lewis
OK, I could have gotten better examples but still, the bias is real.
Caleb Perry
Do you think sodomites are reprobate?
Daniel Gray
go back r/christianity
Liam Scott
Not a big fan of Zig Forums but to say certain coincides don't exist is simply denial
Benjamin Sanchez
I thought Jews love Christianity because Varg says so.
Alexander Russell

The big example that opened my eyes to it was (old as shit) the Silent Hill movie.
In the games, the Order church is a demon cult that worships a female solar deity (who in all jappy jap likelihood is amaterasu). It's specifically not christianity or a heresy thereof in the backstory (being rooted out at one time by christians). They clearly have multiple deities, and their trappings are occult in all manner. Their aim is to cause the supernatural birth of their deity through the girl alessa. They're simply dirty dumb evil satanists.
In the US film, the order cult is given far more christian trappings and a focus on mortifying sin and are made to seem like over the top fundamentalists who accidentally caused the current situation trying to mortify the "sins" of the girl alessa. They're a scandalous parody of fundamentalist christianity with some catholic flavourings for taste.
Oh yeah. This guy gets it.
Really kinda illustrates why you see "good despite being christian" characters alot. That is "good" relative to modernism "despite" being christians.
Kingdom of Heaven is an archetype of this, which through bad history, makes all of the "good guy" christians into modernists who are good despite their christianity, and all of the "bad guy" christians bad because of their christianity.
Consider that our lead, Balian of Ibelin, in this film is depicted as a doubting fornicator who's grand work is technology and running his fief in tolerance. "good despite". He is a modernist who just happens to be a cultural christian.
Saladin himself, contra to history, is depicted in a like fashion, being not simply "good despite", but good in opposition to the christian culture.
The bad history, though, allows us to cast Guy de Lusignan and Raynald De Chatillon as bloodthirsty zealots (with raynald being executed for a lack of courtesy, not, as is historical fact, for refusing to convert to islam), wholly ignoring the actual internal political situation in the crusader states at that time in history.
The utmost expression of "it's better to be good despite vs being bad because" though comes from the mouth of the bishop of jerusalem towards the end of the film, when he suggests converting to islam in order to survive and then repenting later. A classic anti-clerical attack against the "really real" believers of the church, who to the modernist are all nothing but corrupt cowards.
Sorry these are all old examples. I don't like modern media, so I don't know it well. If you need modern examples, simply turn on the radio. All music today is about fornication, relationships as a personal pleasure, not love, and engaging in debauchery such as drunkenness, lasciviousness, and excess.

I never got the chance to explain. It was just one word and then I was kicked out.
Christopher Cook
They won't even call it Christmas anymore smh
David Murphy
People get conditioned since kids whit cartoons that show magic and have "be true to yourself" or "be creative/imaginative", since Barney the Dinosaur kids are being taught that what is sin is good and what is holly is wrong, retrograde and bigoted.
Grayson Bell
Was he celibate? Because if he's trying to do the right thing and still getting called names I can understand the ban.

Shameless plug for TruNews, Rick's been battling against the Satanic fake news media since 1998
trunews.com
TruNews is the world’s leading news source that reports, analyzes, and comments on global events and trends with a conservative, orthodox Christian worldview. Our vision is to build a global news network that provides a credible source for world news, events, and trends while giving respect and honor to Christians of all major denominations — Evangelical, Orthodox, Anglican, Catholic, and Protestant.
We believe Christians need and deserve their own global news network to keep the worldwide Church informed, and to offer Christians a positive alternative to the anti–Christian bigotry of the mainstream news media.

GOSH DANG IT. I knew this post would be here.
Bless Jeremy.
Jeremiah Price
Uh … yeah they do.
Evan Smith
mock islam
mock jews
mock Christ
mocking Christians has become so common place
Josiah Rogers
-dawkins telling the crowd to laugh at christian beliefs
-antifa as being pro lgbtqrstuvx+# and would gladly punch a nazi if he says something against them. Also commies=> atheists
-feminists pro abortion and pic related
-games that mock christianity (outlast) and promote violence in church (many if not all call of duties have a church scene where you have to kill someone or the church blowing up)
-rock music that promotes the exact oposite values. inb4 they do charities so they are good. When helping someone a christian does this for the glory of God, when atheists do something good they do this for their own social status.
-porn nuns
-media showing more bad things about the church
David Adams
It's awful isn't it..
Isaiah Richardson
No, they'd rather call it Xmas.
James Long
NPR is a good place show media bias since stories done on Christianity are primarily negative compared to Islam which are positive. Even when there is a positive story there is always a negative note put in to get a dig at Christianity.
Example just from today: npr.org
William Morgan
We could call it XPmas (Chi Ro, if I’m not mistaken…)

You can look into the media coverage of the right to life march versus the media coverage of the women’s rights march that was a bit smaller and took place a few days later.
You can also look into the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic Church. A lot of statistics indicate that abuse problems in the Catholic Church are about the same as the protestant churches in the US. And the abuse rates of all the churches are lower than the abuse rates that occur in foster care and other types of state institutional care.
That’s all I’ve got for you. Hope it helps. Sorry your thread got so far off track.
