After the flood of violence, horror, and evil stimulated by Generation X in the 1980s we saw a huge turnaround in the 1990s:
Instead of devils and racism and homophobic hate we saw angels and fairies and positive gay characters in movies and theater.
This was followed by good versus evil in Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.
But these battles between the powers relied on violence to resolve the conflict and violence is never the answer.
From this point we must turn to Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus' message was non-violent benevolence.
Love your enemies and pray for those who abuse you.
So lay down the sword and cry out to God.
He will answer.
And deliver you from evil.
