Re: True Christian Soldiers

I recently watched what I thought to be a dynamic Christian movie where a young college student debates his atheist professor. After watching the movie and shedding a few tears, I was curious what an atheist would have thought of the movie...

If you mean "God's Not Dead", I haven't seen it, but have watched several in depth reviews. "Steaming pile of horse crap" would seem to be the consensus.

Based just on the trailer, it seems to be astonishingly ignorant and dishonest to me. These guys are a bit rude, but the movie doesn't seem to deserve much more.

Re: Movie Review Review

The review is pretty poor in my not so humble opinion. If the movie is as bad it is truly terrible.

I think you are correct on both accounts. The Bible Reloaded is pretty much a college boy self indulgence. The subject was expanded to fill the slot.

Re: True Christian Soldiers

For example, a creationist discovered about the death of my son 12 years ago and claimed that that's why I became an atheist, even though he knew full well that I had become an atheist about 50 years ago, two full decades before my son had even been born. I corrected him in no uncertain terms, but he still believed that that was what had turned me into an atheist. Absolutely pitiful.

I get this on the Dentaltown discussion boards all the time. I gave up a secure and happy niche in the SDA world based on my inability to continue the fantasy that the universe revolved around me. It was a purely intellectually based decision that required the sacrifice of some close relationships and moving out of my comfort zone. I can patiently explain the process again and again and what do I get? "Ken, I'm sorry. You must have been hurt by the church or someone in it. But don't be bitter, because God still...Blah de blah de fucking blah, blah, blah", ad nauseam. Pitiful indeed.
