Hi everyone. Welcome to The Godly Dragon Show, a branch of The Godly Dragon where I commentate on News and Politics. I have decided that this will be a BitChute exclusive show. Because YouTube censorship has gotten a whole lot worse this year, I have decided that BitChute and other alt tech platforms will be the only places where I can talk about news and politics, because here I can't get censored, and it'll give people incentive to check out my BitChute channel for videos on controversial topics.
So, according to this article from the Christian post, Chick-Fil-A's Dan Cathy asks white Christians to repent, fight for black Americans in wake of police killings. I will read the news article, and then give my own thoughts on this issue.
Dan Cathy, conservative billionaire CEO of fast food chain Chick-fil-A, urged white Christians to take advantage of the “special moment” in American history now, to repent of racism and fight for their black “brothers and sisters” in the wake of ongoing protests over the police killings of Rayshard Brooks and other black Americans like George Floyd.
Brooks was shot dead by an Atlanta police officer at a Wendy’s parking lot on Friday night just three weeks after the death of Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police officers on Memorial Day. Floyd’s death set off global protests against racial injustice and police brutality. Brooks’ death also sparked fresh protests in Atlanta throughout the weekend including one on Saturday night in which protesters burned down the Wendy’s restaurant where he was killed.
“I think we have to recognize we are in a very special moment right now that the answer is not just for this to go off the radar screen, go back to talking about COVID-19, to talk about world peace, the environment, … politics is going to be coming up here this fall. I believe if we miss this moment we would have failed in our generation,” Cathy said during a robust conversation about race in America just two days later on Sunday at Passion City Church in Atlanta.
In that conversation were Pastor Louie Giglio and rapper Lecrae Moore, popularly known as Lecrae, whom Cathy asked to share his personal experience with racial injustice.
“I don’t need the media to tell me that this is a problem because it’s a reality that I live,” Lecrae began.
“The first time a gun was pulled on me by a police officer I was 13 years old. And I was unarmed. I was pushed on the ground. I had a knee in my back but this was just my reality. At 14 years old, because I was caught skipping school I was put on a gang list. I didn’t know what was going on. My mother had to go to the police station to explain to them, ‘just because he’s skipping school does not mean he’s out participating in gang activity,’” Lecrae said.

The rapper also recounted how “not too long ago” while driving to perform as a Christian artist at a concert, he was stopped by police who ripped his rental car apart.
“I was pulled over because I was in a rental car, I could assume there were all kinds of different reasons why but my car was strip searched and they tore all the seats out of my car and I told them I’m not doing anything wrong and they still didn’t believe me,” Lecrae said.
“The car was strip searched and they said ‘no dog’s alerted, there’s drugs here’ and they found nothing and then they left me to put all the seats back in the car and move on about my business,” he recalled.
Now, let's talk about this. First of all, I agree that police brutality is a big problem in America, and that we should reform our police system so that violence against anyone based on race won't happen. George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks were probably good people. I've even heard that George Floyd was a Christian before he was killed. What I don't agree with is abolishing police. We need to have law enforcement in our society or else it's chaos. That's far from the point of this article though. The point here is, Dan Cathy is promoting the idea that white people need to repent of things they didn't do. Repentance implies that you did something bad. This means he's going along with the leftist narrative that white people should apologize for the history of abuse they committed against black people even though they weren't alive to do any of that, and they probably would even think about doing that even today anyway if they are good non-racist white people. History is just to be remembered so that we don't repeat it. We can't move forward if we dwell in the past. I have a very diverse family, and diverse people that I call my friends. I'm not racist. I don't want to mistreat black people nor do I want to keep them as slaves. So, what do I have to apologize for? The only people who should be apologizing are those who are truly racist against black people, such as white supremacists. This is worse than when Chick-Fil-A decided to stop donating to Christian organizations like salvation army and instead donate to more secular organizations.
Since I think that this is a dangerous leftist narrative, I won't be giving my money to Chick-Fil-A anymore. I'd rather get chicken at another fast food place, such as Popeye's, Raising Cane's, KFC, Carl's Jr, Jack in the Box, or even McDonald's. Seeing a restaurant run by a CEO that claims to be a conservative Chrisitan bow to leftist narratives is very sad to me. I hope you'll take this to heart, and consider sending your money elsewhere. I hope you enjoyed this episode of the godly dragon show. God bless!
How to Train Your Dragon is one of my favorite movie franchises of all time next to Jurassic Park and Godzilla. The movies, shows, and short films are all just so amazing. I love dragons, but that's just the cherry on top. These movies are a spectacle of top notch animation and it also has really emotional and engaging storytelling and many memorable moments that make you want to revisit the land of Berk over and over again. However, how would I rank these films? Which are my least favorite and which do I consider the best of the best? That's what this carefully crafted ranking is for. Before I get into this list, this is only my silly opinion. If you don't agree with my list, that's okay. With that said, let's begin. #11: Dragons Rescue Riders Let me make something clear. I think this is a good cartoon. It's different from the other How to train your dragon movies and shows, but that doesn't make it not good. This show is intended for preschoolers. This s...
We really need to talk about a very serious issue. In case you don't know, I will be talking about a person named Steven Anderson who calls himself a pastor. You may have come across one of his sermons on YouTube or have watched one of the films he made. I'll admit that I was intrigued by Anderson's preaching at first. But then when I looked deeply into what he teaches, I found something very disturbing. And it's the fact that Anderson preaches that repenting of sins is not needed to be saved. This belief is known as "easy believism". And it's a modern day heresy that has been plaguing the Church. This heresy teaches that one only must accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and that nothing else is needed such as the repentance of sin. However, nothing could be further from the truth. If you believe in Christ, repentance is very important. Faith is not a license to sin. First of all, I am not arguing that grace and faith alone isn't what sav...
There's a controversial debate among Christian denominations over graven images. More specifically, over whether or not we can have statues or pictures of Jesus in our homes. And whether or not it's blasphemous to have a depiction of Jesus in popular Christian movies, shows, and plays about the Gospel. As someone who is no stranger to controversial topics like this, I have decided to tackle this issue head on by examining both sides and giving my opinion. The driving force behind this debate is the concern of both idolatry and blasphemy. In the early church, Christians used the fish symbol to identify places of Christian worship. The Synod of Elvira pronounced a prohibition of exhibition of images in churches. But ever since the 3rd century A.D., certain churches have used images as part of worship. Religious imagery is often associated with the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran church, which both have images and statues of Jesus as part of their worship services. Then...
