[Sesuadra]

The story so far...

In the theater now.

Sitting in the back row, just like in church.

Oh no, this Columbine thing.

Phone's battery is low. Don't know how long I'll be able to live update. I'll write something more substantial after.

I thought, if I believed hard enough, it would charge itself.

Pure Flix logo. Movie starting.

Is that Amy?! How the fuck are you not dead?

Uh oh. Career professional parents ignoring daughter.

"My cancer is gone. "

Those fucking Newsboys, bro.

"The salvation army is here to get rid of all your dead brother's shit. Don't forget to put the milk away. " - Mom

Mark meets Pastor Dave! Finally. No Joss Whedon though.

Oh my God, this movie.

This makes Kevin Sorbo look like a reasonable and sympathetic character.

One of these lawyers literally looks like Hitler.

It may just be how the actor looks, but he resembles Hitler.

Ray Wise is hamming it up and it's great.

Lol.

Ray Wise just got a juror removed because he likes Duck Dynasty.

Oh my god, please let Ray Wise turn out to be the literal devil.

Dark, ominous music as Ray Wise makes reasonable points.

It sounds suspiciously like The Dark Knight score.

Amy is the aunt of main girl's best friend. It's all coming together.

Fox News parody is anti-Christian.

Hmm.

They brought back the whacky car rental guy, as a waiter now.

Also RIP Fred Thompson.

Sabrina is going to bang the holy Spirit into her lawyer.

Mark's Dad just shows up and slaps him. He flew all the way from China to do it.

A man sobbingly singing Nearer My God to Thee in a thick Chinese accent? This movie has it.

"How do we prove Jesus existed? "
"Easy. B.C. and A.D."

Lol, pastor Dave just had his appendix burst in court.

Pastor Dave has been replaced by a girl with dyed hair and purple lipstick. Oh no! She's doesn't look like a stereotypical Christian.

Hahaha.

Main girl just made the best dramatic non-dramatic entrance in the court.

"Would you say you're a a Christian? "
"Yes."
[Courtroom gasps]

"Please God, don't forsake me. "
Straight up comparing this petty bullshit with Christ's crucifixion.

We have Mike Huckabee, ladies and gentlemen.

Phone is at 3%.this may be it.

One protest sign has "Hey, preacher, leave those kids alone," with a prism logo. Lol

Holy fuck. They went there.

"Who are we kidding? It will always end on the other side of a gun. "

All is lost. Christianity is doomed.

... wait... could it? Is it? It is !

Bye GAF.

God wins!

God/Mods/Lionel, when you write a your new substantial post later about the movie, feel free to delete this or if it's not okay to collect the posts but I thought maybe this is easier for new people coming into the thread.

Also I love how they used Ray Wise. I mean he literally played the Devil before!

 

[OuterLimits]

Most of this is just ridiculous and delusional, but the bolded genuinely infuriates me. Stuff like that doesn't just spit in the face of medical science, it's a genuine threat to peoples' lives. You will never go into remission simply out of pure faith, and spreading the belief that it's a viable method to fight cancer will lead to unnecessary deaths and suffering.

So what? I'm not religious but if someone has cancer and wants to ignore treatment, or just use pain meds, who the fuck cares? The only life it threatens is their own. Sure others are affected if they die but it's ultimately their choice. You shouldn't be able to force them into treatment for example.

Besides I think most religious people get medical treatment anyway. It's pretty rare that people avoid medicines completely.

Bye GAF.

You are my hero. Thank you for these updates. These were nothing short of hilarious.

 

[Johndoey]

So on a scale from "live and in color" to Rubio's presidential hopes how dead is God?

 

[OuterLimits]

True. Maybe I just don't get the infuriating part. Maybe I just don't care if people spread that belief. If a bunch of people would rather ignore medical science and try to pray their illness away, more power to them. The only time I would object is when parents deny treatment to young children.

Besides most religious people still use medicine or surgery and then credit God for enabling the medicine to work. Or something like that.

a former friend of mine did that. "but god gave the doctors the idea for the treatment!"

 

[Magnetic_North]

Can we get a cinematic universe please?

Next one should be titled

God is not d3ad: Revengeance

 

[Soulflarz]

whens the anime

Anime is real. God is real. It all makes sense.

Such a fucking amazing title wasted on such a shitty idea.

Alright. I got home and immediately starting typing out my thoughts, but it ended up taking me awhile and now it's after 3 AM, and I still have much more ranting to do. I'm going to call it a night, but you'll get my unadulterated ramblings soon.

But seriously, doesn't this evil lawyer kind of look like Hitler? Like, if you squint?

What proof do you need more.

 

[Chaplain]

What proof do you need more.

Since proof only exists in the fields of logic and mathematics, it would have been better to provide evidence from a skeptic like the scholar Bart Ehrman

"I do not expect to convince anyone in that boat. What I do hope is to convince genuine seekers who really want to know how we know that Jesus did exist, as virtually every scholar of antiquity, of biblical studies, of classics, and of Christian origins in this country and, in fact, in the Western world agrees. Many of these scholars have no vested interest in the matter. As it turns out, I myself do not either. I am not a Christian, and I have no interest in promoting a Christian cause or a Christian agenda. I am an agnostic with atheist leanings, and my life and views of the world would be approximately the same whether or not Jesus existed ... But as a historian I think evidence matters. And the past matters. And for anyone to whom both evidence and the past matter, a dispassionate consideration of the case makes it quite plain: Jesus did exist." (Atheist/Agnostic New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman)

 

[Kid Ska]

Fuck yesss those live posts were great. This is going to be an amazing review.

 

[mclem]

God is Not Dead 2: God Dies

I'm holding out for God's Not Dead 3: Weekend At God's

In which a pair of bumbling film producers try to convince the world that God is still present through a sequence of increasingly absurd coincidences and wacky convoluted hijinks.

 

[TylerD]

My girlfriend and I saw it Saturday night but Zootopia made another 20 bucks off us.

Our presentation had the trailer for "Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party" That was a major what the fuck for us. I laughed out loud for a good 30 seconds after the trailer ended.

God's Not Dead 2 was terrible but it was much better acted and produced than GND 1. I'm not going to go into details because Lionel will present a masterclass in rant later. I hope he stayed until the end of the credits!

I do care about that, because my dad nearly died of his childhood diabetes because of anti-medicine bullshit. It's a real thing.

My atheist teacher had a funny way of putting it-

I saw this piece of shit last night and it was physically painful.

In a scene where they're trying to prove Jesus exists in a court of law: "we cannot refuse the consensus of the scientific community"

Surely they'll show the same respect to the consensus of the scientific community when it comes to evolution and climate change then?

At the end of the movie it told us to text our friends "God's not dead, He's surely alive" then showed this:

 

[Ms.Galaxy]

Please stop your war on Christianity, the persecution has to stop.

Never, I won't stop until all Christians are mildly uncomfortable and refrain from coming to my door to tell me the word of Jesus Christ.

He does know that's not correct, yeah?

The BCE/CE nomenclature has always been stupid to me, because it doesn't change the dates and we aren't changing the massive number of pagan and Christian elements in the rest of our society (the seven-day week, the names of months.)

Hope Mandrake graces us with a longform piece. Mere tweet-length observations cannot do his work justice.

Actually watched Believe Me last night after this thread. Not bad. I really liked the rich Southern friend. Zach Knighton was a delight as always.
