God's Not Dead - The Movie

Recommended Posts

Well, bravo for making a "Christian" independent film.

It's not on my list of films to see in a theater, but when it hits Netflix I'll give it a watch.

Until then, I'll reserve comments.

I think Nietzsche had is right. I don't think Hercules or Superman are going to convince anybody otherwise...

This is nothing but a Christian circle jerk using established tropes to make money from under educated believers.

I love movies, always have. I also like to check films out on IMDB prior to seeing them as I like the idea of crowd-sourced ratings and reviews. Whilst there are a few good reviews on the site they tend to be (from limited review) from very religious types. Interestingly there are also a lot of negative reviews from self declared Christians. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2528814/reviews?ref_=tt_urv

In answer to the OPs question, I would try and watch it but, as Ron well knows, I have little tolerance for organised religion and this does come across as contrived so I may not get very far. I'm pretty good at suspending my disbelief in films but don't buy in to thinly concealed propaganda...

Cosmos is on again. It's free. and has much more in it that this film does or ever will. I will watch that instead.

A story about some Chirstian's 'struggle' against atheism sounds like a weak pretense, especially here in FL where there is a church about every 1000' in most towns....

My daughter rec'd her only non A grade from high school through college in her senior year at The University of Illinois because she wouldn't agree with the professor's viewpoint on religion.
She graduated high school over 4.0 but wouldn't give up her beliefs to maintain that in college.
I will be checking out the movie.

I have not heard of this movie and know nothing of it. However there is another movie with religous tones making its way around theaters. This one looks fairly good in the previews.

Some friends of mine, one a retired pastor, saw "Noah" and criticized it for not being Biblically accurate.

The Bible itself isn't "Biblically accurate." Just read the first two chapters of Genesis.

I've seen films with less promising back stories - so why not



Agreed.

That topic was adequately discussed in the movie.

I'm thinking the word "adequately" is being applied subjectively here.

By whom? Kevin Sorbo, Hercules or Batman?

Jesus, are there really people believing what's shown in a movie?

Are you willing to see it?


Probably, just not in the theaters. I watched the [URL "http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_Behind:_The_Movie"]Left Behind[/URL] trilogy for laughs and will watch this one for the same reason.

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
