My thoughts on the "God's not Dead" Trailer


Skullbuster

984 views

 

(heres the trailer if you havnt seen it)

 

So earlier today i saw the Amazing Atheist make a video on this tralier, so i watched it and wanted to talk about it a bit

 

I get the distinct feeling that i wont like this movie, i mean yeah, its so obvious that its propaganda, but is this really what christans think atheists are like? a bunch of angry hateful people who actively hate religion? i mean yes there are some people who are like that, but most arent, i dont hate religion, also the professor, isnt really doing his job right, stating on the first day of class "lets just skip debate and jump to the conclusion that there is no god"in a philosophy 105 class, doesnt seem right, then asking the students to write down "God is dead" on their paper, now any normal professor who would do this, would then start a debate about the topic, engaging the students in a philosophical debate, instead here he is forcing his opinions on the class, which doesnt seem right, especially for a class like that, also do Christians feel this threatened that this movie needs to exist? the oppressed christain story doesnt make much sense seeing we live in a country dominated by the religion, its just odd, in my own personal opinion, i think an oppressed atheist story would make more sense and be more realistic, because thats kind of how it is you know? but anyway, i just wanted to give my view points

This is just your typical Christian movie,  their persecution complex always ensures that Christians are the victims and that all atheists worship Satan (how can you worship something you don't believe in!!!!!), are gay, evil abortion doctors that eat babies and burn down churches.

 

Honestly, it's completely and utterly asinine and this is an assault on intelligence in the process.

Let me guess: Those who made that movie did not understand Christianity and several opposite standpoints to religion themselves and that professor will be converted in the end. Oh boy...

I clicked play at the risk of getting upset. Surprisingly, I actually wasn't against it at all.

While I understand what you're trying to say Skullbuster, that sort of thing does happen - professors who have been given free reign over their classrooms can and *will* force their opinions on the students. I've been subject to one such professor. On a broader scale, higher institutions are trying to "kill" God whenever they get the possibility.

To give an example, I attended a community college in which all students were given complete liberty to meet as groups, whether it be for a club, gaming community, or a religious meeting - except for one very particular group: Christians. Christians were required to have the group both approved by the institution and have a staff member present to "oversee" what was happening. That being said, it didn't really affect me as I never joined any student groups whatsoever - but for a college that waved a banner of equality, that seemed very out of place to me.

And Chickenism, that's a very strong stereotype you're bringing to the table. If you're going to make a point of a "typical Christian's" stereotypical view of athiests, perhaps you should take a step back and review your own stereotyping of said Christians.

As most Christians will only see the loud, vocal, and sometimes rude athiests, I'm sure that the reverse is true as well, and that the world only sees the loud, vocal, and sometimes rude Christians. In reality, 99% of both sides really are quite nice people, but someone else is giving them a bad name.
