Anyone see gods not dead?

[Ravenshire]

the word 'slave' can translate as simple house-servants etc

Funny how many times I've heard this shit yet never read a translation that used any word other than slave. They were owned property dumb-ass.

and in a sense you're a slave to your boss at work.

No, I can in no way be considered a slave to any man because no man owns me.

Funny how all you morons who want to make these claims can never understand the very clear, very large difference between being owned and being payed to do a job.

[KevinM1]

Slavery and employment aren't even in the same realm. Anyone who thinks so is an idiot, full stop.

It's worth seeing the Cinema Snob's riffing on it too.

I'll have to check that out. I love Cinema Snob. Purely platonically, you understand. Though he did [censored] my [censored] in his [censored] with a potato a couple of times...

Just watched Cinema Snob's review of this godforsaken thing, plus the horrible sequel. Good grief.

[Athene]

True Christians should refuse to watch. 
Why, two of the main characters in the series are played by a Teenage Witch and a Greek demigod! I mean....What dafuk??? They're heathens of the worst order!!!! That alone should offend any GOOD Christian's sensibilities!

If it doesn't, well then you're NOT a True Christian.

[Nay_Sayer]

Well said.

Happily, FSM is no tyrant, Our only sacred rule is; Don't be a dick.

Damn, guess I can't be touched by his noodly appendage, then. I'm a pretty big dick to the assoles in other faiths.

As far as the God's Not Sead thing goes, I'm only familiar with it through Hugo and Jake of The Bible Reloaded. That was enough.

You can, just open yourself up.  You have a hole in your soul, Let FSM fill that hole deep with his appendages of love.

Pasta is much more filling than blood anyway. And way less gross.

Not when it's overcooked.

[Bow Before Zeus]

If any religionist believes that their god(s) are alive, they need to buy themselves a plane ticket to Athens and take a walk around the streets. As they do so they will notice something about the ancient buildings. Many of them are temples to long dead god(s). Alas, as much as I would like them to be alive, Zeus, Athena and Poseidon are as mythological as the gods of today.

[Fake Messiah]

I recently watched “God’s not Dead” or, more accurately, the parts in the lecture hall and not the other side quests, like with that guy and his car insurance.

Firstly, with these kind of movies you never know which kind of Christians you will get and I was “pleasantly” surprised to discover that these were those that take big bang and evolution for granted. So the whole movie is about forcing the “first cause” & cosmological arguments.

Now, if I was to expect something serious from a “Christian” movie I guess it would be that it tackles Christian problems, like how come Christian government lets itself rationalize putting children in cages, although somewhere in the Bible Jesus said people should protect children? Or how come ultra-Christian politicians for years now call publicly for mass murder of innocent people like gays? Or, perhaps, how the same conservatives can be so much for things like “every man for himself” that is ultra-capitalism and oligarchy while, at the same time, apparently believe that Jesus said take care of the poor, take care of the sick? Or how can some Christians still insist on teaching 6 day creation in schools? etc.

But, instead, Christians make a movie about some fantasy college professor that calls out Christian students and constantly freaks out about them like some lunatic, all in an effort to make a movie that portrays how Christians today are being persecuted by atheists who have this sick obsession with them. Sick obsession? Watching this movie and seeing how it falsely portrays and lies to you that scientists, like Stephen Hawking, are “proving” that god doesn’t exist with their big bang theories when all they are saying is that there is no proof there is a god behind creation of the universe rather than insisting there is no god. Simply not dealing with god hypothesis is not claiming that there mustn’t be god and at the same time persecuting Christians. I mean I see that people who insist there is a god that created universe in 6 days and flooded it as much bigger problem, but which is something that makers of this movie are completely ignoring (although they should be against it since it is established that apparently they are for science), as if it’s not even a problem worth mentioning.

So it rather seems that Christians, or at least the authors of this movie, are obsessed with atheists and not the other way around. Especially when they made two more movies about the same subject and in each movie the atheists get more and more obsessive and antagonizing toward Christians. I mean in the third movie atheists even burn down the fucking church. And those are just movies in this series, I wouldn’t be surprised that all “Pure Flix” movies are about same subject.

So this is perhaps the biggest pitfall for Christians: that they completely fail to reflect on themselves. Worse yet, it makes them look snotty, holier of the holies that they don’t have problems to deal with but that other people are the problem.

Now, when all that is said I can say that the movie was boring and irritating. Let me make clear it wasn’t their logical fallacies in “proving” god that made me irritated, but just bored. What made me irritated was that most of the “actors” in the movie are pretty bad and not actors at all, but they all have minor roles and the movie is not the one you expect much so it’s bearable, but what is not bearable is this guy



who is obviously not an actor nor has a face for camera. He really seems like some sort of a hunchback with a disproportionately long, giant head and very stupid haircut on top and, worst of all, he obviously fancies himself as being cute. So it didn’t surprise me when I learned that this guy bought himself a role in the movie by being a producer.
I mean we’ve all seen cameos by non-actors in the movies and they are usually short, but even as such can ruin the movie. For instance, I remember watching that movie “The Muse” (1999) in which Martin Scorsese has a small cameo. Now, Scorsese is a great director, but when you see him in that movie he’s tearing your eyes apart since he can’t even stand properly, but has his head leaning forward, again being little bit hunched. Acting is obviously something not to be taken superficially. Now imagine that superimposed on almost 2 hour movie with that fugly guy being edited in the middle of other scenes is just a pure torture.

[GrandizerII]

Uh, he's had acting roles in several not-so-popular Christian Evangelical movies. I would know since I shamefully used to watch these movies ...
