Why I am Canceling Netflix

As a long-time Netflix subscriber, I’ve spent countless evenings lost in its vast library. But lately, something has shifted. I’ve been contemplating cancelling my subscription for months, weighing the pros and cons. Now, I’ve reached the point of no return. I’m a Christian, and my faith demands I align my choices with God’s Word. Cancelling Netflix isn’t just about saving money—it’s about protecting my values and my family.

Netflix Once Felt Like a Friend

Netflix hasn’t been all bad. In fact, there were times it felt like the perfect companion for those lazy weekends. Remember their slogan, “Netflix and Chill”? It captured those moments perfectly—curling up on the couch, remote in hand, ready to escape into a story. I’ve binge-watched my way through seasons, often finishing a series in a single weekend.

What kept me hooked? The genres I love: action, thriller, drama, crime, conspiracy, some anime, science fiction, and investigative stuff. Shows like Narcos drew me in with its gritty crime world, while Stranger Things blended sci-fi and conspiracy in ways that had me theorizing for hours. Money Heist delivered thrilling heists, and Mindhunter satisfied my investigative cravings with its deep dives into criminal psychology. Films like Extraction pumped up the action, and John Wick series kept the adrenaline flowing. Even anime like Death Note and Attack on Titan offered mind-bending plots. Netflix was good at delivering that entertainment high.

But was it worth the hidden costs? Let me ask you: Have you ever started a show thinking it was harmless fun, only to feel uneasy by the end? I have, and that’s where my doubts began.

Netflix’s Entertainment has Crossed My Boundaries

Over time, I noticed a pattern that I couldn’t ignore. In at least 80% of the movies or TV shows I watched on Netflix, there was an attempt to shove LGBTQ themes down your throat. It’s not just subtle hints or passing scenes—it’s prolonged, explicit content like extended kissing or intimate moments that feel forced into the plot.

As a Christian, this conflicts deeply with my beliefs. The Bible is clear on God’s design for human sexuality. Leviticus 18:22 states, “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” Romans 1:26-27 describes homosexual acts as “contrary to nature,” and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 warns that those who practice homosexuality will not inherit the kingdom of God. These verses aren’t suggestions—they’re God’s unchanging Word, affirming that marriage and intimacy are meant for one man and one woman.

Why does Netflix push this so aggressively? Is it really about representation, or is there an agenda to normalize behaviors that contradict biblical teachings? I’ve asked myself this, and the answer seems clear: It’s indoctrination, plain and simple.

Netflix’s Hidden Agenda on Children

What pushed me over the edge? Netflix’s blatant targeting of children with gender identity confusion and LGBTQ themes. As a family person, I can’t stand by while they indoctrinate the next generation. Shows like Heartstopper romanticize gay relationships for teens, while animated series slip in non-binary characters or gender fluidity lessons. Even upcoming releases continue this trend, with content that questions traditional gender roles in ways that confuse young minds.

Have you wondered why Netflix keeps producing kids’ shows with these elements? It’s not innocent—it’s a deliberate effort to reshape views on gender and sexuality, directly opposing Christian and Islamic teachings on God’s created order. The Bible in Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created man in his own image… male and female he created them.” Islam echoes this in the Quran (Surah An-Najm 53:45-46), affirming Allah creates male and female. Yet Netflix promotes fluidity, leading children to question their God-given identity.

For parents like me, this is beyond return. Why expose my kids to content that undermines our faith? Enough is enough.

Enough Is Enough

I’ve enjoyed Netflix’s entertainment—the thrills, the dramas, the escapes. But no longer. The constant push of LGBTQ agendas, especially toward children, violates my Christian convictions. It’s not just about me; it’s about protecting my family from indoctrination that defies God’s Word.

So, I’ve cancelled my subscription and deleted my account permanently. The process was simple: Log in, go to Account settings, and hit “Cancel Membership.” Then, confirm deletion to erase all data. It felt liberating—no more compromising my values for a binge session.

Is cancelling Netflix easy? Yes, but the real question is: Why wait? If you’re a believer, ask yourself if this aligns with your faith.

Looking Ahead: Life Beyond Netflix

Cancelling doesn’t mean boredom. I’ve rediscovered reading the Bible, family game nights, and faith-based streaming like Pure Flix or RightNow Media. They offer uplifting content without the agendas—shows on biblical history or Christian thrillers that align with my values.
