Why It Is Not Too Late To Repent And Turn To Christ

[Esquilax]

I find it interesting how atheists are quick to judge the Bible but few have read it objectively from cover to cover. Christian movies the same. If you really don't want to believe something, Jesus appearing before you may not convince you.

So what's an "objective" reading, to you? One that agrees totally with it?

Is it possible to be an atheist and have read the bible objectively, Rev?

Now, as to the movie, I haven't seen it (don't judge, I literally can't: it's not out in Australia and I doubt it'd get a wide release anyway) but I have read about the film, including in depth articles that go, almost point by point, through its entire running time and rebut every contention raised.

I may not have seen it, but I know the storyline and the arguments raised; the former is a grotesque revenge fantasy dressed up as piety, and the latter are horrendously hypocritical riffs on "you can't prove god doesn't exist so therefore he does, and it doesn't matter anyway, because all you atheists really do believe in god, you just hate him."

Frankly, it makes me wonder if you are capable of looking at things objectively. I know a lot of people here are really dismissive of you, and I find that really frustrating because I know they'd do otherwise if you did more than post one sentence responses. You can look back, man; you can read conversations that have taken place here, pages long, with theists who actually engaged with us, and that should demonstrate just how the majority of us treat those believers who come to us open and willing to learn. Hell, the only thing I myself have told you is that you should use sources that are actually in a position to know what they're talking about, which I don't think is a terribly controversial piece of advice.

The portrayal of atheists in "God's Not Dead" is nothing more than a series of regurgitated strawmen and stereotypes. Does it make you feel good, knowing that the way these people from your religion thought was the best way to make their case was to lie and demonize us, instead of just presenting their point of view? Are you comfortable in the knowledge that this representation of your religion relies on projection and dishonesty to bolster the faithful?

Are you really sure you want to be shilling for this movie, and thus making yourself complicit in its blatant, heedless propaganda?
