Yeah, my philosophy professor in college was a very fervent, leftist (maybe even socialist) atheist. He did not shy away from arguing about it. BUT, he constantly got into debates with a conservative Christian -- not yelling at him, but actually asking him what his opinions were and why he thought the way he did. Pretty sure that dude managed to get A's on all his assignments. Philosophy professors definitely are more atheist-leaning (at least in my experiences), but they don't use that as ammo against their own students. This movie, in short, is stupid.

I'm an atheist and I'd still be pissed if a professor introduced his course like that. I'd refuse to hand in that assignment, not because of religious concerns but simply because it's bad philosophy. Luckily, having studied philosophy myself, I can affirm that few philosophy professors are actually like that. Those few professors who come closest to proselytising are religious.

It's nothing more than projection, in some christian collages and organisations they have to sign a statement of faith declaring they'll accept no EVIDENCE physical or argument against the authority of the bible or divinity of Jesus. If it isn't pro Jesus, it's in the bin.

"Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 53:4-6) We have to think about where we will spend eternity, because there is nothing more real than all that I am telling you. Once we die and see that the Gospel is true, it will be too late! It's not just "someone else's beliefs" or "another religion"... it is the truth. What makes me know that? Faith and what I can see around me. No one but God could have created our world, and that’s just what the Bible says. Now, if some of the Bible is true, wouldn't it all be true, since it is God's Word? Would He ever lie to us? No. Therefore, when He says how to be saved and that Jesus is the only way, He means it. **He told us all this for our own good. He could've just let us die... we did deserve it as sinners... but He loves us so much, and He is not willing that any should die. "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)

When someone says "something has to exist to die." You obviously know nothing of philosophy so don't lecture people through comments like a professor. The statement "God is dead" isn't saying that God literally died. It's saying that people are becoming more secular and moving away from believing in God which in a sense is true. God definitely existed throughout history but, in a way, more atheists exist today so someone could argue God is dead. However I'll counter that statement because more people believe in the concept of a God so I'll say God is not dead.

[@AmtojS]

So.. I believe in one god. With that said, I would like to give my thoughts on this film. I found this to have a great amount of anti-atheist rhetoric. Atheism may be the absence of religion, but Atheists still have the same morals and guidelines of which all humans should abide to, a code of conduct. This code is affirmed in all religions, but, and in my opinion, should be self-evident for all people, regardless of belief or disbelief. To say that, "Without God everything is permissible," is ridiculous. If one's religion, whatever it may be, helps that individual seek solace in times of distress, then that should be reason enough to believe. However, if an argument is made that there is no god, then that argument is also reliable. There is no validity when it comes to belief: hence, belief. I will realistically approach an argument from either side with an understanding that viewpoints, whether for or against god, warrant the same level of respect for the individual. It is easy to judge and feel emotion, but harder to listen and hold that emotion down, allowing rational thought and calm nerves to prevail. There are striking similarities in how to live life people with different religions share, and those similarities are also found in those without religion. This 'anti-another' propaganda should not be taken seriously; but rather, be appreciated as a piece of film art. Respect those who differ in opinion from your own. Those are the ones strengthening your resolve.

"Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 53:4-6) We have to think about where we will spend eternity, because there is nothing more real than all that I am telling you. Once we die and see that the Gospel is true, it will be too late! It's not just "someone else's beliefs" or "another religion"... it is the truth. What makes me know that? Faith and what I can see around me. No one but God could have created our world, and that’s just what the Bible says. Now, if some of the Bible is true, wouldn't it all be true, since it is God's Word? Would He ever lie to us? No. Therefore, when He says how to be saved and that Jesus is the only way, He means it. **He told us all this for our own good. He could've just let us die... we did deserve it as sinners... but He loves us so much, and He is not willing that any should die. "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)

Otherwise completely on point, The best thing about that movie was the song, which is stuck in my head AGAIN.

The film has been panned by critics, currently holding a score of 16 out of 100 on Metacritic indicating "Overwhelming Dislike", based on 5 critics,[8] and a rating of 17% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 18 reviews as of May 2014.[9] Writing for The A.V. Club, Todd VanDerWerff gave the film a D-, saying "Even by the rather lax standards of the Christian film industry, God's Not Dead is a disaster. It's an uninspired amble past a variety of Christian-email-forward bogeymen that feels far too long at just 113 minutes".[10] Reviewer Scott Foundas of Variety wrote "...even grading on a generous curve, this strident melodrama about the insidious efforts of America's university system to silence true believers on campus is about as subtle as a stack of Bibles falling on your head...."[11] Steve Pulaski of Influx Magazine, however, was less critical of the film, giving it a C+ and stating "God's Not Dead has issues, many of them easy to spot and heavily distracting. However, it's surprisingly effective in terms of message, acting, and insight, which are three fields Christian cinema seems to struggle with the most".[12] A number of sources have cited the film's similarities to a popular urban legend. The basic premise of a Christian student debating an atheist professor and winning in front of the class has been the subject of a popular Chick tract

Why do you feel you "desperately need ground to stand on against atheists"? What specifically bothered you about the movie?

[@cabbitsd]

I desperately need ground to stand on against the arguments of atheists because I'm surrounded on all sides by that religious standpoint and my knowledge of how to defend my faith is limited. Despite that I shamelessly believe in God, Satan, angels, demons, even the nephilim, and the work that Jesus did at Calvary to make salvation free and open to "whosoever" and everything else the Bible says, I lack what it takes to stand for it the way I should be. (Also, while I'm not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ... I am ashamed of my testimony to it.) What bothered me about the movie? BESIDES that this movie forever ruined my view of Superman and Hercules forever?! First of all, all of the characters in this movie who weren't Christian (and even one who was) were utterly antagonized to the point of extremity. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES could a university professor act with such blatant arrogance towards a religious viewpoint in this "politically correct" day and age that we live in and get away with it. No reporter interviewing a band no matter how terrible or religious the band was, ESPECIALLY if she knew she was dying of cancer, would ever be so professionally ignorant to any artist contributing to society. And even most rich people aren't so corrupted by their love of money that they cease to care about their mothers! They're mothers! Second of all, the dialogue in a lot of places drove me nuts by being far-fetched and "just a little too convenient" (ie: when the reporter told the christian band that she was dying or when the proud ex christian athiest gave over his life to Christ at the last second or that the hardcore atheist prof JUST SO HAPPENED to be an ex christian and JUST SO HAPPENED to be unequally yoked with a christian woman. The scene with the christian girl in the muslim family was touching, but it was a pointless "big lipped alligator moment"... as was most of the fluff with the preachers having rental car trouble. The movie would have been fine, and shorter, without it. Blatant Unnecessary and repetitive Newsboys propaganda is Blatant Unnecessary and repetitive. No doubt they're a great band... I've heard their old school stuff and it's really not bad... but honestly, do they need to plug themselves in the plot of this movie so many freaking times?! This was the MAIN thing that bothered me... I was expecting to get a LOT more meaty info on the Christian end of the Atheist / Christian debate on the existence of God out of this movie. It could have done with a LOT more of that and a lot less of the crappy non-memorable plot full of unbelievable, unrelateable characters, annoying, unrealistic dialogue, and more promo fluff for one band than the Kiss Comic book series. Did I mention that the movie ruined my view of Superman and Hercules forever?!

[@BoGardiner]

CabbitSD "I desperately need ground to stand on against the arguments of atheists because I'm surrounded on all sides by that religious standpoint and my knowledge of how to defend my faith is limited." I'd suggest you consider placing greater value on the virtue of an open-minded pursuit of truth. It's far healthier than imagining yourself in an endless war, surrounded by the enemy, dug in and desperately defending your point of view. You might just as well donate your brain to someone else to use, since you fear it so.

ACT 2: The Set-Up The E-VIL atheist professor seeks revenge and conspires with his gay lover, an E-VIL atheist in the philosophy department. They enlist the aid of the philosophy professor's cousin, an ambitious, E-VIL atheist senator to frame our young hero for the murder of his hot, hot, HOT fundie girlfriend. Our hero goes on the run, is temporarily hidden in a Louisiana swamp by the Duck Dynasty guy. Meanwhile, the E-VIL professors are run over by a truck and as they lie dying in a pool of blood, they admit to a repellant, overbearing street preacher that they believed in god all along but hated him. ACT 3: On the Run Meanwhile, in a touching dream sequence, out hero goes to heaven and meets his dead girlfriend, who advises him to vacate the swamp. Our young hero is awakened by the baying of bloodhounds and runs for it. Fortunately, he has been hiding close by the New Orleans airport. He sneaks onto an airplane piloted by Nick Cage. The plane takes off but halfway through the flight, Cage gets word that the fugitive is on the plane. JUST as Cage is about to arrest our doe-eyed hero, the young man gets raptured. Act 4: Rapture In a touching denoument, our young hero is reunited with his dead girlfriend in heaven. Hand in hand, they joyfully look down from their cloud and enjoy the spectacle of the two evil atheist profs, roasted and served as entrees at a Christmas party while Kirk Cameron dances.

***** The Holy Bible itself says that Eve had evolved from a rib of man into a woman. The evidence for creatures having evolved over millions of years is overwhelming. The evidence to the events in the Christian Bible is nonexistant.

Jesus Christ is God through the Trinity. Jesus Christ was alive, therefore God is and was alive. Be informed on things before you say them.

I feel like the guy who made this interpreted the movie all wrong... And also cut out a lot of important parts to distort the meaning...

[@BoGardiner]

I made the video (but am a woman, not a man). Please explain specifically how you believe I interpreted the movie "all wrong" and how I "distorted" the film. The film was anything but complex or subtle, so I've now idea how you imagine atheists could misunderstand its message about us. And we have Kevin Sorbo's comments on the talkshows that make it even more clear, if there could be any remaining doubt.

[@Superstupidy]

Bo Gardiner Well. I'm not in the mood to go into detail today. But the 3 parts that stood out to me most were at, 6:14 would you rather go to heaven and live eternally with Jesus? Or would you like to say goodbye to some people whom you'd one day see again and live the alternative?... 6:46 He'd just been killed not 5 minutes ago and wouldn't have even been in the news yet... And at 7:03. Saying, "God's not dead" does in NO WAY mean we hate Atheists, any more than a gay person saying, "I am gay" would mean they hate Christians. Now, I could go on. But as I said. I'm not in the mood today.

[@jabbe3001]

SuperStupidy Well, given that I have just as much evidence for the Christian Heaven, as I have for the Greek Hades, or the Norse Valhalla, I'd probably want to say goodbye to the people I love. Also, even if the news of the Professor's death hadn't spread, isn't it a little hamfisted the way the film sets of the tone of his death. Nobody really mourns his death. Even if you think death means eternity with Christ, *normal people* Christian or non-Christian alike feel bad when someone dies. Or do you treat all deaths exactly as this film does, and just happily go to the funerals of your loved ones, smiling because the deceased is with Jesus now - never mourning for them or shedding a single tear? I don't presume to speak for Bo, but I assume equating "God's not dead" with "I hate atheists" is A) a joke, and B) born out of the films abysmal portrayal of atheists. Atheists do not hate god - misotheists do. Atheists have secular sources of morality - they don't devolve into relativistic libertines. Atheists do not abandon sick loved ones because they're robots who don't believe in love, and treat relationships like business arrangements.

[@Superstupidy]

Vorpal Fnord It doesn't matter what YOU know about Heaven. The Reverend from the movie knew he needed to at least try to convert the Atheist in as little time as possible, assuming possible. He needed that chance to believe, or else he would have suffered much more than just death... In the Bible, Hell is described in detail, and it makes it VERY obvious that it's not the place you want to go. "Shoving your Faith down someone's throat." Can be interpreted differently depending on your beliefs. For Christians, it's going out of they're own way to try to save someone less butt. However, to other people who don't understand the concept of Hell, it's rude. Either way, thy don't HAVE to listen... But they'll regret that later... Death is only sad for the people who will miss the deceased. And even then, it's a selfish sadness. If you believe Jesus died for your sins and then you die, that's the best thing that ever happened to you.

[@BoGardiner]

SuperStupidy "6:14 would you rather go to heaven and live eternally with Jesus? Or would you like to say goodbye to some people whom you'd one day see again and live the alternative?" WHAT gives you, a complete stranger, the right to try to force YOUR beliefs on ME while I'm dying, and to substitute YOUR wishes for MINE on how I will spend MY dying moments? That is MY choice, NOT yours. How would you like it if you were praying while dying, and a Hindu prevented you by shouting in your face about Shiva? The fact that you can't see the disrespect and the immorality in that proves your belief system is a poor ethical guide. "6:46 He'd just been killed not 5 minutes ago and wouldn't have even been in the news yet." But we the audience know, and the filmmakers insult us by expecting us to laugh along with and merrily applaud the mockery of a man we seconds ago saw violently killed in a car accident. Then the Christians at the accident scene actually say the tragic death is a cause for celebration. Could it be in poorer taste? " 7:03. Saying, "God's not dead" does in NO WAY mean we hate Atheists" Of course not. That is, however, the message of the film -- that Christians should hate atheists. The claim that no atheist can be a moral person is hate speech. The further baseless portrayal of atheists as insane sociopaths drives the message of hatred toward an entire religious minority even further.

yall know that most christians dont support this movie right? im a christian and this movie is very counter intuitive lol

[@BoGardiner]

If only. You're counting on no one knowing how to google: "...[T]he 2014 film God’s Not Dead was still one of the more successful independent films of the decade. It more than quadrupled its $2 million budget in its opening weekend, and when it closed 40 weeks later, it had made more than $60 million in the US...Indie filmmakers dream of that rate of return... It’s a weird movie, but boy, did people love it. It was promoted by conservative and Christian organizations ranging from Alliance Defending Freedom to the Dove Foundation to Faith Driven Consumer. Christian celebrities endorsed it, from football players and Olympic athletes to pastors and well-known teachers of apologetics. Churches purchased curriculum for an outreach campaign that involved showing the film, and fans posted pictures of their tributes to it... The film’s success gave Christian movie studio Pure Flix (co-founded by Rev. Dave himself, David A.R. White) the boost it needed to become a relative powerhouse. Pure Flix launched a theatrical distribution arm in late 2015, and has since released a string of solid box office performers... [T]he studio has managed to parlay the success of God’s Not Dead into an alternative entertainment empire... It explicitly couples faith with conservative-leaning politics. The appearance of Duck Dynasty personalities in God’s Not Dead was just the start; by the third movie in the series, the cameos were from right-wing media figures like Dana Loesch and Jeanine Pirro..." www.vox.com/culture/2019/12/18/21012872/gods-not-dead-pure-flix-decade-2010s

Honestly the comments section is disappointing. I see people who claim to be Christians saying they "hate" atheists. Also say they "hate" gays. You have it all wrong. Hate is a sin. You claim to be Christians and claim that the bible says to "hate" atheists but the bible actually says to love all people as much as you love yourself. If you "hate" atheists and gays you won't try to save them. The bible says to teach the word of God. Hate no one, teach all.

[@ThatClassic70sGirl]

Patriot Brad Brad, I don't think it's that most of the professing Christians "hate" atheists or gays, or anyone on here, really. But they (the atheists and non-believers) *Do. Their. Darndest* to come across as antagonizing, insulting and just plain downright mean. You don't have to read very far to discover the profanity they spew on here-name-calling, constantly begging the question, deliberately going off on rabbit trails, etc. in all the discussion threads. And the original uploader of course says nothing, because she's on their side and we're outnumbered. Now, I've seen signs of what appears to be their true vulnerability showing through at points-i.e., the real reason this movie angers and upsets them so much that they will go on and on about it and provoke arguments for weeks and months on end. But if you give them an inch-responding in meekness, sincerity and polite civility to those rare occasional genuine questions and objections they *Seem* to raise-they will then take a mile, and come roaring back at you with insults, smart remarks and passive-aggressive mocking. I've witnessed it happen time after time. So after a while, most of the Christian commenters just invoke Proverbs 26:5 and Mark 6:11, vote the video down, and move on. Unless the Christians here start sticking together and supporting one another (which frankly I don't see happening very much up to this point), we're not even going to successfully defend ourselves, much less make inroads into the Enemy's territory. Also, did the Christians commentators you're referring to literally say they "hate" atheists and gays? Okay, perhaps a few of the CINOs may have on rare occasion. But if the oft-tossed about term "homophobia" or "homophobic" (for example) is one you yourself utilize and/or identify with in your own discussions with them, then no, we're probably not working from the same Playbook. If you are a genuine believer, on the other hand, you know what the Word of God says and teaches about these things; and those who practice them; and I don't have to point out the biblical references to you-then you know how the Christian viewpoint (I'm not referring to the Westboro Baptist position here) is being deliberately mischaracterized and taken *waaaayyy* out of context by those who oppose it (and themselves). For the most part its a side issue for purposes of this video discussion, anyway; unless a discussion participant is an openly practicing homosexual activist also simultaneously claiming to follow Christ.

[@ConsciousAI]

Thanks for the summary. I can see why this movie got a score of 16 out of 100 on Metacritic indicating "Overwhelming Dislike", based on 5 critics, and a rating of 17% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 18 reviews.

The part that upsets me the most is the fact that the student could have tried to save the professor by calling an ambulance or warning him of traffic, but that would mean the writers would have to actually make a proper redemption arc.
