"The Remaining" - Christian movie
January 20, 2015 at 6:49 pm (This post was last modified: January 20, 2015 at 7:10 pm by Silver.)
I started watching it unaware that it was a Christian film, and I decided to continue watching it.

When the rapture takes the true believers, the survivors find sanctuary in a church where the pastor (he was left behind because he said he had no real relationship, just comfort) explains what is happening.

According to him, the evidence of the truth had been available for everyone and that they simply chose to ignore it.

ROFLOL

It is so typical to use the word evidence yet provide no real evidence whatsoever.

One of the characters asks, "Say we survive this, can we still be saved?"
Pastor: No, but God still loves us.

My response:
Yeah, god loves you so much he is torturing you. Sorry, but that is not love. It just means god is a monster.

They tell me to open my ears, I tell them to open their minds.

Technically, their minds are open too much, allowing for the kind of susceptibility whereby they will believe in something without the evidence to support it.

They should be closing their minds.

Having an open mind isn't really about being gullible to me. We get a lot of people saying "if you'd only open your ears and listen to the word of god, you'd know". You know and I know, that's a load of shit.

Science is all about keeping an open mind. Good scientists don't have any kind of attachment to their theories. If a theory is disproven, the change is accepted. That's what an open mind is. The other thing is just gullibility.

Of course. The critical acclaim of the first was so compelling, a second had to be made.

Nicholas Cage...

Wasn't he an angel in one movie?

And didn't he love pears?

I never understood that one.

And Meg Ryan.
