Of course God isn't dead. He was never alive either.

I've seen theists fail to adequately defend their position enough already. Why would I watch a 2 hour movie about it?

Considering the content of some Bible stories, that's about par for the course.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

If there is a new "god exists" argument that is anything but totally asinine we'd be more likely buy your tickets.

Is there a new argument that hasn't logically been slaughtered on this forum?

The movie is either calculatedly or lazily dishonest. It seeks to discredit atheism by completely misrepresenting what atheism IS.

The Sorbo character is initially depicted a horrendous caricature of what Christians who've never met an atheist imagine them to be like - bitter, humourless, angry, smug and bullying. He behaves in ways that would have him removed from his teaching job in the real world, but in the movie's imaginary world - one in which plucky Christians are mercilessly persecuted by a vast atheist establishment - goes unpunished.

And when finally he's cornered by our plucky Christian hero ("Why do you hate God?" "BECAUSE HE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME!!!") it turns out he's NOT EVEN REALLY AN ATHEIST. He's an embittered THEIST whose faith has been damaged by tragedy.

Now think about this; would you ask your Jewish friends to see a movie in which Jews are depicted as baby-sacrificing conspiratorial extortionists, and in which the Big Reveal at the end is that Jews really KNOW Jesus was the Messiah but just pretend otherwise for nefarious purposes?

When I responded to a mormon's conversion attempt by telling him I was an atheist, he responded, "Why? Did something bad happen to you?"

I was thinking of watch the movie ONLY because of Kevin Sorbo and now he's dying in a car crash?
