The television show, Game of Thrones, is certainly a popular, much-discussed topic these days.
Enter “Game of Thrones” into Google News and the search engine returns 337 MILLION results.
52.5 million of those results are from the last four weeks alone.
The TV show is not only popular, it has been HEAVILY-PROMOTED by the culture, Big Entertainment and Big Media.
Which raises a question: Perhaps Game of Thrones is so popular BECAUSE it has been so heavily promoted?
And another question: Perhaps Game of Thrones is so popular BECAUSE the public has been relentlessly TOLD it is so popular by the media?
(Of course, when the “number of viewers” is calculated, it includes many who re-watch the show, as well as other inflating factors. These inflated numbers are then used to help promote the show as being some sort of a culture-wide phenomenon.)
The show has run for eight seasons (72 episodes) and is currently on its last season, with its last episode shown last Sunday night.
The show IS entertaining.
But the show is a wild mishmash of morality.
On the MINUS side, the show, from time-to-time, features gratuitous nudity and bad language.
It also portrays fornication, homosexuality, murder, robbery lying/deception and many other sins, as fairly normal/ordinary behaviors and reactions–particularly among those who control people, money and power.
The show also promotes the anti-biblical idea that there are some who are “good people.”
There are NONE good.
“God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
–Psalm 53:2-3
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
–Romans 3:10-12
The show also promotes “magic” and witchcraft as just one of the various choices which some have made to further their lives/careers.
ON the PLUS side, only one thing comes to mind.
In the second season, an old man who marries his daughters (but no one seems to know what happens to his sons after they are born) is followed taking one of the new-born baby boys into the woods to offer it to the White Walkers, a host of zombie-like creatures.
In return for the baby boys–who are then turned into White Walkers themselves–the White Walkers leave the old man and his family alone.
When this is discovered by the “civilized” Northerners who are staying at the old man’s lodging, MOST of the party react with horror. This is shown to reinforce the feelings of horror the viewer is, no doubt, also feeling.
It seems the sacrifice of newborn babies, boys or girls, is one thing which most ordinary folks in Game of Thrones believe to be an absolute horror.
Compare that reaction to the reaction of modern Americans who go about their daily business while hundreds of thousands of babies are butchered for the sake of sacrifice/convenience/superstition.
As stated, the show–though it, in many cases, glorifies pagan morality and behavior–does recoil at the sacrifice of baby boys to the zombie-like White Walkers.
Though whether this is due to a real reaction to the baby sacrifices or for dramatic effect is unknown.
Again, as stated, the morality of Game of Thrones is a real muddled mishmash.
DOES the reader believe the morals of TV stars and the characters they portray are good?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
