Because morality is entirely dependent on religious beliefs. Every single law and tradition and ethic you see today you can thank religion for, including the Constitution of the United States of America which it grants to all citizens as "inalienable", being that they were bestowed by an almighty creator, according to the Declaration of Independence and the founding fathers own writings.

[@DanDan-eh7ul]

@@bud389 Are you serious? Sounds like trolling to me. _Every single law, tradition, and ethic_ is thanks to religion? Including laws allowing abortion, or the laws that allowed the housing crash of 2008? Including the traditions that violate the constitution, like teachers acting as government agents preaching or praying in the classroom? Besides the hyperbolic statements, there's obviously several different ways to derive morality in a purely secular basis. Consequentialism. Secular Humanism. Or perhaps a mix of both based on people's Well-Being. Like, it's easy to Google "Secular Morality" you know.

[@wd3185]

@@bud389 Hmmm... no they're not, and no, many laws do not have a religious origin. Morals come from the need to live in a stable society. In fact, religions (admittedly, usually the more extreme forms) often disregard commonly held morals, such as non-discrimination, freedom, equality, and advocates for things like genocide, protecting criminals if they hold the right job/position, etc. You do not have to be religious to not be a psychopath.

Nietzsche's quote is one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted philosophical statements, and this movie proves it. He was not talking about a God who was biologically alive and is now deceased. He was expressing his concern that a civilization built on a moral foundation that is entirely predicated on God as a source of absolute morality would become unstable and nihilistic as people drifted away from organized religion. Science and reason were gaining influence, but people for the most part were still dependent on the religion they were raised into as their sole source of morality. Yet he was not advocating nihilism (another common misconception) but rather arguing that we should look outside the religious framework of our culture, to recognize the value of the world we live in and the humans we share it with for a new moral basis. After all, if people are only good out of fear of divine punishment, or from appeal to divine authority, then what are they going to do if their faith should ever be shaken?

Especially when there's no explanation for any of it at all! Seriously, if they're trying to argue this is part of god's plan that he just didn't understand yet, then shouldn't they show how his mother dying was a good thing in some way that he just sort-of didn't notice or something?

Here in America we have a huge wave of conservative Christianity that really gained momentum and power during the Cold War and the Reagan years where the political thinking that anybody who is slightly left on the political spectrum is a Stalinist who despises the country started to prop up. It's because of this wave that 43% of this nation still believes a creationist explanation from a holy text is a better explanation for the biodiversity of life than evolutionary theory, scientific progress has slowed down immensely in order to favor building new weapons for a massive military-industrial complex instead of the well-being of the population, and why so many are trying to rewrite history to make Christians seem like the brave heroic knights of their fantasy and anybody who is not a vile villain. We still have a few people here who think that atheism and Stalinism are certainly connected, that you need to believe in God to be moral despite the fact that statistics show atheism are just as moral, if not more moral than religious individuals according to prison demographics, that America is certainly a Christian nation despite the fact that so many legal documents from the days of the Founding Fathers say it is not founded on the belief, and even many here believe Hitler was an atheist, despite the fact that just with a little bit of research, it is clear the Nazi Party was attached to, and drenched in the Christian belief.

It's really funny because the premise of the movie is flawed. The philosophy professor isn't even an atheist, he's a misotheist; he hates god. If you wanted to convey an actual militant atheist, maybe he would have asked the class to write down "God is a fairy tale", not "God is dead", which implies he was somehow alive at some point. But I digress... it's just a shitty Christian propaganda film. Also, the debate is just a back and fourth appeal to authority fallacy and baseless assertions. It's the most shallow examination of the existence of god I've probably ever seen.

[@VHunterBillyBob]

+Michael Riley ah, but what you're talking about would actually require, you know some brainpower. it's so much easier to depict atheists as one dimensional cartoonish villains with an agenda, rather than make them into believable characters who base their opinions on logic and facts rather than personal tragedy. and your right, there was no attempt made at actually trying to depict a debate on the issue. and the filmmakers clearly didn't give a fuck about presenting both sides evenly. that moment where the film claims that the existence of God is supported by science, has to be one of the most arrogant messages I've seen in a film in a very long time. if this was a real debate, there is no way in hell that statement would have gone unchallenged.

[@Egalitariat-likesecretariat]

I think it's both very funny and somewhat alarming that the filmmakers BADLY misunderstood the quote that the title of the movie is based on. Paraphrasing Nietzsche: "God is dead" because Man has killed him and, to cope with the guilt and horror of killing God, props up God's body as a puppet. Man espouses his own selfish ideas as God's word. ...but the makers of this film were either stupid enough to not get it, or smart enough to not address it. I mean, why bring up all that scaaary thinking about how people can lie to you and trick you by saying God said so? It's not like we're lying to you and tricking you by saying God said so! Why not? 'cuz God said so!

[@noahkarpinski1824]

Egalitariat Not quite. The actual quote "God is dead" comes from a story (I'm going to say that is was called the parable of the mad man, thanks Google). It goes as follows: "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was the holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives. Who will wipe this blood off us? With what water could we purify ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we not ourselves become gods simply to be worthy of it? There has never been a greater deed; and whosoever shall be born after us - for the sake of this deed he shall be part of a higher history than all history hitherto."" It basically means that through our logic and scientific advancement we cast a light into the superstition, learned enough about our world that it removed the _point_ of god. We grew up, and no longer need stories to understand things too great for us to comprehend, and this is *a good thing*. This means that we no longer have to live our lives in fear of divine punishment or guilt of our imperfections.

[@bearowl4101]

In my experience, trauma does the opposite of making a person an atheist; it makes people more inclined to religion. Why do you think that so many born-again Christians used to be addicted to alcohol or drugs or were otherwise in a seedy lifestyle in the past? When you hit rock bottom, the idea of a loving god is comforting. I myself remained an atheist after something tragic happened to me, but I wished I could believe in God because not believing in an afterlife made me incredibly anxious. In other words, this movie makes no sense.

[@culturedbrother]

That can go both ways. There are indeed people that believed but when they hit the bottom the hardest way possible, then stopped believing. This because they then question god and tend to not believe anymore aka becoming an atheist. Or they change gods and turn from christian to jew or even buddhism or whatever. The idea of a god may be comforting to some but it can be clearly not to others, no matter the circumstances and events. BTW, you dont need to believe in a god to believe in an afterlife.

Yeah it sucks sometimes, but I'm not dead. The people who 'convert' are probably starved of society, and the closest society they can find that will exist around the world are religious groups. I will never convert because if God did exist, he didn't give a shit about my great grandmother, my mother, or what happened to me. Three women, one family, three separate sexual assaults of different natures. So fuck God, fuck anyone that thinks conversion will somehow make me feel better about the fact I have a daughter who may be number four on the sexual assault list of family members. I don't need church to feel part of society. I've learned from a young age you just have to stand on your own feet and accept that life is cruel sometimes.

Fun fact, they wanted a few extras to not stand up, and as I am rather fat, and was crammed into the desk chair, I couldn't gracefully stand up on camera, thus I opted to remain sitting. This movie is hot garbage, but your review is gold.

Also, theory: maybe, upon hearing from Nietzsche, they took his argument literally and THAT'S what the filmmakers are arguing against. It makes sense given what we know about their intellect.

[@mattbenz99]

Ya, it is stupid. Nietzsche was arguing against the end results of religion, not the idea of a God. He was one of those philosophers that considered religion to be like alcohol or a narcotic in general.

@@CraftyVegan While that is true, the movie still never touch on that topic, and might have even proved him right. No one in this movie fights to solve their problems, everyone just waits for God to solve their problems. The worst part is that God does solve all of their problems in the end.

I once watched this movie with my bible study and we riffed it so much. We could tell how awful the arguments were and how terrible the portrayal of atheists were in this film and we didn't appreciate that at all. This group contains some of the smartest Christians and they tore it apart as not biblically sound and not realistic. This film does nothing but push people away from Christianity by portraying non-Christians as hateful bigots. I'm not saying people like that don't exist (check out tumblr SJWs) but a vast majority of non-Christians are perfectly nice people and I don't get how the people who made this movie don't know that. For a Christian's perspective on the movie, check out the channel Say Goodnight Kevin. Let's just say he wasn't too happy with it either.

This movie does Christianity a disservice. It portrays its "villains" (e.g. anybody who isn't Christian) so cartoonishly, stereotypically, and ignorantly, that anyone that the filmmakers are trying to convert will instantly dismiss its message without a second thought, any Christians who don't utterly abhor non-believers will be embarrassed by it, and anyone who praises the film for its intended purposes will be used as an example of just how bigoted Christians CAN be (and even I, a remorseless atheist in my personal life, know that a great many of them aren't that bad). Oh, and on top of that, it's an objectively bad movie. Seriously, does anyone at Pure Flix actually care about genuine filmmaking qualities? I laughed so hard at the bit where the professor tries to put down the kid's speech by calling it propaganda, when that is EXACTLY what this film is.

[@troywright359]

We have films where Christians are portrayed as over the top cartoonish villains and they're told that is cool, learn to laugh at yourself, don't be so uptight, lol Christians thinking movie is real.

I found the first one patronizing, poorly written, and poorly acted. It's evokes a scenario where an atheist challenges the beliefs of a Christian. But in the first film, (and if I'm to trust reviewers, the second film also) the atheist is a mean, angry, underhanded jerk college professor who publicly shames one of his Christian students and challenges him to an "academic debate" a phrase I'm certain the filmmakers couldn't define if their lives depended on it. But fear not, our evil atheist, in the final moments of the the film, gets in a life-threatening car accident, and when the hero Christian arrives, he prays with him to save his soul. Then the atheist dies, because in a melodrama, the villain always dies. It's contrived and dishonest, portraying academics and atheists as two-dimensional villains. And of course, the audience for this film is 95% Christians. So, it perpetuates an "us vs. them attitude" that I find markedly un-Christian. And finally, it is poorly done. It contains no subtlety, humanity, levity, irony, symbolism, or unanswered questions as good art does. It's propaganda, and not even good propaganda. In my opinion films like this send these dangerous, false messages: *"Christians are right about everything" *"Non-believers are the enemy" *"Intellectualism is the enemy of faith." *"Art doesn't have to be good if it's about Jesus" My old theater teacher at a Christian school and EVERYBODY agreed
