The Culture of Death: The Return of the Inquisition and the Rise of Modern Extermination

By Doctor Will Rodríguez

Introduction

There was a time when humanity burned books, hunted witches, and tortured those who dared to think differently. That era had a name: the Inquisition. Brutal. Fanatic. Unrelenting.

We believed we had left it behind.

But now it’s back—only this time, it wears suits, holds microphones, and speaks from pulpits, courtrooms, and government offices. The Culture of Death is not a relic of the past; it is here, now, and thriving.

Killing in the Name of God?

Recently, a pastor affiliated with the Anchor Baptist Church in Oklahoma City stood before his congregation and declared, without hesitation, that gay people should be executed— that they deserve a bullet in the back of the head, and that God gave permission for it.

This wasn’t a metaphor. It wasn’t twisted theology. It was a direct call for state-sanctioned murder. And worse: this same man works in a public capacity under the local Parks Department.

And he’s not alone.

This kind of extremist rhetoric is growing louder, bolder, more shameless. Under the guise of “religious freedom,” hate speech is being normalized, institutionalized, and weaponized. We are watching the return of spiritual fascism in real time.

Women’s Lives as Casualties of Political War

Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, a silent massacre is taking place—targeting pregnant women across the United States.

Laws that criminalize abortion, even in medically urgent situations, are killing women. Not metaphorically. Literally.

In Texas, maternal mortality rates have skyrocketed by 56%.

Pregnant patients have been turned away with life-threatening conditions, like ectopic pregnancies, because doctors fear legal repercussions.

Black women are up to 3.3 times more likely to die from pregnancy complications in restricted states.

Cases of sepsis, internal bleeding, and forced infertility are now reported more frequently—and preventable deaths are being normalized as “collateral damage.”

This isn’t health policy. It’s bio-political warfare. And women’s bodies are the battleground.

We’re Dying from the Inside Out

It’s not just the LGBTQ+ community. It’s not just women.

This death cult mentality—this obsession with control, punishment, and extermination—is seeping into every structure.

Education is being gutted.

Libraries are banning books—even historical accounts.

Immigrants are vilified. Students are criminalized. Communities of color are overpoliced.

And above all, we are being conditioned to fear each other, distrust truth, and worship silence.

What Are We Doing?

This is not just about policy.

This is not about belief.

This is about a systematic killing of hope, autonomy, and community—under the false banners of morality, tradition, and divine order.

This is about extermination in slow motion.

The Inquisition has returned—not with fire and chains, but with laws, sermons, and cultural decay.

We Must Speak

What is happening in America today is not just dangerous—it is evil.

And silence is complicity.

We must resist not only the physical violence, but the ideological gaslighting that tells us:

That hate is holy.

That freedom is dangerous.

That women are vessels.

That queer love is criminal.

That death is somehow divine.

Let us be clear: This is not a culture of life. This is a culture of death—revived, rebranded, and running for office.
