Well it says both in different chapters, which is part of the problem. Just a handful of things to "do unto others:" • Punish children to the third and fourth generation (Numbers 14:18) • Punish children to the infinity generation (Genesis 3) • Not just punish their earthly lives but torture them forever (Revelation 21:8) • Not actually punish them at all but turn the other cheek for their transgressions (Matthew 5:38-40) • Kill them (The Entire Old Testament) • “Harvest” them with a scythe and mash them up in a giant wine press until their blood pours out to the height of a horse’s bridle for 184 miles (Revelation 14:17-20) Take your pick.

[@tychoazrephet3794]

You know, the ideology of these films has always perplexed me. Attempting to delegitimize atheism by claiming atheists are only atheistic because of trauma, not only is this demonstrably false, it has an unintended side effect of delegitimizing any belief system. I can claim the only reason the people at Pure Flix are Christian is because of some trauma they suffered in their lives, that all of them used to be hateful blasphemous atheists, and the only reason they now follow the word of God is because they had a near death experience. Why not? That's essentially the same logic they're using for everyone else. When you remove the prospects of independent thought, personal experience and ones journey through life shaping whether or not they're a theist or an atheist, you grossly oversimplify and misrepresent a persons relationship with their own existentialism. Hey, that guys an atheist, shove him into traffic it'll make him a Christian! That ladies a Christian, give her mom cancer it'll make her a atheist! Frankly its a disgustingly cynical attitude and speaks volumes about the lack of faith and the lack of respect the people behind Pure Flix have for the rest of humanity. Oh, and Sean Hannity can fuck off the edge of a cliff.

[@slayerofsheeple]

Amen to this

[@artbargra]

Two words: Strawman.

[@MaxxyBee]

its also not like evangelical rebirth can be identified 1:1 as a trauma response

[@MinscFromBaldursGate92]

I think it's because religion is often entangled with conservatism. The "Protestant Evangelical persecution complex" is great for the GOP voter turnout.(I say Protestant, because Catholics are much more diverse and therefore differ in the political Spectrum). As an european, i always found it bizarre and fascinating because conservatism in the USA isn't merciful to the poor or the sick. It often relies on antagonism, jingoism, and fear-mongering, concepts that Jesus Christ would despise. The reason why it doesn't make sense is because Pure Flix movies are almost never truly about religion, they are about republican politics. The irony of it is that this whole thing is bad for Christianity. American Christians could be taking part in a positive future, but instead insist on antagonizing everyone else. But these are just my thoughts. Thanks for reading.

These films aren't created to convert atheists, but rather to extract money from Christians and rally the faithful. They don't want to give an impression to this Christian target audience that atheism is even possible. There's a certain power and confidence to atheism that frightens Christian high-ups. So they sell the notion that there really aren't any atheists, just pretenders. This fraudulent state has no attraction for existing Christians who might be wavering.

[@Khasym]

Holy....shiiiiiiiittttttt.....I haven't even gotten past two minutes before I was just....I was blindsided by the credits on the box. Yes, the producing god known as Sean Hannity, was of course given top billing.....but there was one other name of no small repute on that box cover: Michael Franzese. AKA, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Franzese AKA former mob boss, bootlegger, sports fixer, motivational speaker(what he motivates people to do other than breaking the law is beyond me), tax evasion expert....oh wait, he fits right in with the bible-thumping set......

[@RetroTV5000]

So I previously worked on Michael Franzese's movie God the Father which is a pretty standard documentary of his life and they just sort of lifted that from the movie and gave it to this character. I can't make any claims of the validity of his conversion or his actual character but I actually met him once (for like, five minutes to talk about sound design and stuff. he was perfectly nice) and it's just kind of serendipitous and weird to run into him again.

[@QueenCloveroftheice]

The talk about Christmas had all the Pagan subscribers laughing

[@lloroshastar6347]

I'm still confused as to why some Christian cults and sects still to this day claim that Jesus was born on the 25th December. It's been widely accepted by just about everyone that he almost certainly wasn't and that this was tacked after Constantine converted as a means of appealing to pagan worshippers who obviously made up most of the Empire. That sentence in this film alone is enough to make me think that it was made by (and for) the uneducated.

[@SirRosser]

I was born on December 26. My family was kind enough to let me celebrate my birthday in July instead, so that it wouldn't get completely overshadowed by Christmas. If celebrating your birthday whenever is good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me. Checkmate, Atheists.

Not to mention better Christian morals than those "Christploitation" films.

This movie burns but my love of the snob forces me to push through. Ps Jesus Bro is a zillion times better than this movie.

I feel you, man. These Christiansploitation films are a tough sit even if you're only watching Brad tear them to shreds.

[@stefanreid949]

I love that Sam Sorbo wrote her own character and she straight up wrote an unlikable, smirking jackass that gets cancer. Doesn't bode well for her in real life if that's her idealized character.

Man, five years later, she's just the same character in real life on Fox News.

I love how these movies make it seem like atheists are these absolutely perpetually unhappy people who are just leading sad, and miserable, empty lives, with holes in their hearts. Actually every atheist I know is pretty damn happy with their damn life and much happier now that they're not confined by religion any more.

[@lad7436]

@Chris Newman Is that really what happened?

[@Adorni]

Speaking as a... I dunno, “filthy centrist?” Christian, and someone who wants to work in films, I can tell you that I despise these back-patting, self-fellating dumpster fires Pure Flix calls movies. If you want to watch a good Christian film, watch Prince Caspian, or The Last Temptation of Christ, or Silence. Hell, watch the Veggietales movie. Any of those are better than this dreck.

[@psychokitty444]

1:02 was all I needed to know that Pastor Vinnie would be everything I wanted him to be and so much more. Also, Kevin Sorbo's sons look like someone split my little brother into two people. (He can act them under the table, though.)

[@cynicthehedgehog385]

As a strong atheist, I’ve never been offended by these religious movies. Because they never feature atheists, just misotheists.

[@princesstamika]

i was just going to say that. one of the main reasons Uganda was sentencing gay people to DEATH was because of the influence of white Christianity. people think it's just because "africans are backward lol." but it's really because the US has been exporting homophobia and colonialism for a very long time. pan-african religious systems usually believe in 3 sexual orientations, similar to some native america groups' "two spirit".

[@konstance13]

Thank you for pointing out how annoyingly these films portray atheists. Not everyone has some traumatic experience that makes them hate the god they supposedly don't believe in. Some people just...don't believe. It's not some big constant they need to whine about.

[@phreakazoith2237]

I guess these lame flicks have to portray atheist this way. If they were believers before they can be beliefers again, with some help of weird pastors, wise-cracking black ladies, their Christain friends whatever. Someone who never had and maybe never will have an attachment to the concept of there being something beyond the physical world don't make good converts.

[@phreakazoith2237]

The cheesy issue with these movie atheists is: You either are an atheist or you hate god. If ya hate him you believe in him. He just does not do stuff the way you want him to do. If you are disappointed in him you believe in him but maybe you have to question and further develop your concept of a god. And even atheist are technically believers cause they believe in atheism and try to find redemption there. Faith is a big constant in mankind's history. I think it has to do with the knowlegde of our mortality. Unless we believe in something we live and die for nothing, living a bug's life on a pointless blue planet in the deaf vacuum of cold space. That's nihilism btw. YA' CTHULHU!

[@artistwithouttalent]

anik monette Are you talking about the part where she talks about"proselytizing life as much as ISIS proselytizes death"?

[@DjVortex-w]

So this is the story of a man who grew up in a Christian environment, to become your run-of-the-mill in-name-only Christian, who then became a skeptic for all the wrong reasons, and who then gets into an accident and has a hallucination, and because of that hallucination, and a years-long depression due to the death of his son, he once again becomes a practicing Christian because that gives him comfort and soothes his grief and depression.

[@Ireallywouldrathernot]

The bit where he talks about Japanese and North Korean people being excited for/participating in this "let's shine our phones at the sky" thing really gets to me every time I watch this video. The number of Christians in both countries is so small, shining a bloody light at the sky would not show up on anything or be important enough to talk about on the news. Especially in North Korea where doing that could have pretty terrible repercussions (not sure how much they care about religion but showing solidarity to Americans would not be taken well. I'm also willing to bet that most of that very small number of North Korean Christians don't love the Americans either.)

[@BloodrealmX]

As far as I recall, spreading religion is outlawed in North Korea as it undermines the leader's absolute authority.

[@Nocturnalux]

North Korea outlaws all religion other than the state personality cult dedicated to the Kim family. I recommend Kim Suki's "Without You There Is No Us" about her experience as a teacher of the English language in NK; the university was actually built and staffed by American Evangelicals...and they were strictly controlled and forbidden from even mentioning Jesus to the students so you can get an idea of how little Christianity is tolerated in the Hermit Country. On some occasions staged 'Christian' churches are propped up to impress upon foreigners that Christianity is not banned but it is. In fact, a teacher left some bible pages in a bathroom, in the hopes of influencing someone and got immediately reported, fired and kicked out of the country. But what amazes me the most about this is...NORTH KOREANS DO NOT HAVE CELL PHONES. True, a few do exist but the idea that there would be enough of them to shine at the sky and have any effect whatsoever in the deep, deep darkness of basically Medieval North Korea- electricity is so spotty that in some places it amounts to that- is just utterly absurd. Not to mention you would get executed if you did have a phone and did this in NK. Fucking insane.
