Conceptual movie idea

RE: Conceptual movie idea
I see it working as play or a film that is very close to a stage play in style. Have you heard of this?

I would much rather watch a movie in which God is revealed to be real and a bunch of atheists set out to kill him.

I don't see it working, as the premise is faulty. The Being is asking the people in the room to solve the question that humanity as a whole have been struggling with for millennia. The only sensible ending I can envision is that the Being punishes everyone.

Isnt that exactly why it would work? Because they all have never been able to solve it, let alone humanity in general, and thats the entire reason that they have different views in the first place.
I could probably brainstorm a creative ending.

Here's one;
They all settle on the Christian god and by a stroke of chance it ends up being the right answer. However, to the audiences horror, they then watch as god goes through and picks off the people who were in violation of the rules set in the bible, three homosexuals of the group vanish, fifteen of the group as well for eating pork, twenty two more for cutting their hair, all until two people are left and god then acts warm hearted like they deserved it and the two stare at eachother in disgust as they had faught so hard to come to agreement and work together.

I mean that ending may not be the best but im sure there is a creative ending that can be thought up that isnt expected, i mean you always have endings pictured in your mind when watching movies, if its good then it wont be the one you pictured.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

Heat, the best kind of art is the one that tries to immitate or simply convey reality, by whichever means and whichever parts of it. Making up an ending on purpose and leading on your audience isn't exactly the way to go about it. It has to come to you, it's not exactly something you deliberately make up.

Please inform me if this post offends you. I'm trying to be nice. I really am. I'm conducting an experiment right now(here's a link https://atheistforums.org/thread-40596.html). Thanks.

That is incredibly wrong. There is an extraordinarily long list of movies acclaimed by a large majority of people that have nothing to do with reality. I dont know where you got this idea that good art, or a good movie, somehow is required to be realistic. Ever heard of fiction?
