Pop Culture Heretic: Morality Through a Screen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734920857)

Your entertainment isn't real. But it's the only thing telling the truth.

Pop culture has replaced the pulpit. While churches preach feel-good sermons, Netflix delivers the brutal moral lessons no one wants to hear. Daredevil, The Punisher, Midnight Mass-all reveal the uncomfortable truths you're too scared to talk to your kids about.

The stories are training you for what's ahead:

• How to spot a manipulator who uses your decency against you.
• Why your unresolved trauma makes you easy prey for predators.
• When violence becomes a moral necessity.
• Why most people willingly choose slavery over freedom.

Each lesson emerges from stories that refuse to coddle your feelings or protect your worldview.

Kristin McTiernan lays bare what others miss, refusing to treat fiction as harmless fun. Every narrative shapes how we think about good and evil, faith and doubt, justice and mercy. These essays reveal the hidden sermons preached through your screens.

Whether you're questioning your beliefs, searching for meaning, or suspect your favorite shows know more than they're letting on, this book will change how you watch everything.
