"Present-day college freshman and devout Christian, Josh Wheaton (Shane Harper), finds his faith challenged on his first day of Philosophy class by the dogmatic and argumentative Professor Radisson (Kevin Sorbo). Radisson begins class by informing students that they will need to disavow, in writing, the existence of God on that first day, or face a failing grade. As other students in the class begin scribbling the words "God Is Dead" on pieces of paper as instructed, Josh find himself at a crossroads, having to choose between his faith and his future. Josh offers a nervous refusal, provoking an irate reaction from his smug professor. Radisson assigns him a daunting task: if Josh will not admit that "God Is Dead," he must prove God's existence by presenting well-researched, intellectual arguments and evidence over the course of the semester, and engage Radisson in a head-to-head debate in front of the class. If Josh fails to convince his classmates of God's existence, he will fail the course and hinder his lofty academic goals. With almost no one in his corner, Josh wonders if he can really fight for what he believes. Can he actually prove the existence of God? Wouldn't it just be easier just to write "God Is Dead" and put the whole incident behind him? GOD'S NOT DEAD weaves together multiple stories of faith, doubt and disbelief, culminating in a dramatic call to action. The film will educate, entertain, and inspire moviegoers to explore what they really believe about God, igniting important conversations and life-changing decisions"

Anyone seen it?

This sounds terrible even with hercules at the helm, but as a rule I generally only have respect for fictional shows that tackle popular debates like this if members from both sides of the debate can watch it and feel like their sides' arguments were well presented. This sounds like Kevin Sorbo et all will act like a bunch of asshole strawmen and get wrekt over and over.

Even movie critics for Christian sites panned it as one-sided and unrealistic. That should tell you all you need to know.

Also the set up of a philosophy professor asking kids to write some philosophical absolute on a paper and fail them if they don't agree is beyond ludicrous. It's like some Christians hear about some Bobby Bushay like occurrence of someone answering a test question with, "The Bible says that snakes have no legs because God took them from them!", failing and assuming that means standing up for your beliefs will cause you to fail.

Hah, finally they made a movie out of the Marine Todd story.



A Marine was taking college classes between his deployments to Afghanistan.

One of his courses had a professor that was an atheist and a member of the ACLU. One day the professor shocked everyone by walking into class, looking up and stating "God, if you are real, I want you to come down and knock me off this platform, I will give you 15 minutes.

Several minutes tick by in silence, when the 15 min. time almost expired the Marine gets up from his seat, approaches the professor and punched him in the face knocking him off the platform and out cold. The Marine simply went back to his seat.

The professor came to, visibly shaken and asked the Marine, "What the heck did you do that for?!"

The Marine said, "God was busy protecting America's military who are out protecting your right to say stupid shit like that, so he sent me to fill in."

Fictions about God, Destiny, Fate and things like that are always a bit silly, because what happens in them is the result of an outside force: the author. No matter what, in all fictions, a creator of some sort is there, an instance that pulls the strings is there.

I watched it last night just because I knew it would be absurd. All the atheists in the movie are pretty much Disney villains

Kevin Sorbo gets hit by a car at the end and becomes a Christian right before dying lol

Your all a bunch of liberal commie CIS gendered mysogo socialist transhumanist otherkin indigo child dick nobbers. if a man that played a Greek that actively spoke to and cooberated with Pagan Gods tells you to be a god fearing Christian then you listen to him. Why? Because this is really just an ongoing episode of Hercueleus the legendary journies. Remember how in the last season they were running out of ideas so they had a one off episode where Kevin zorbo was late for work and the writers were shitting their pants but then it turns out to be an evil plan by Aeris to get the writers to kill each other and Kevin zorbo really turns out to be Herculeus after all? Yeah that actually happened, and this bull shit? All just a ploy by the writers for an episodes of Herculeus. Series finale? Just a fake ending buddy, you guys better prepare your butts to get blown off when Her comes back to Saturday Mornings, and fights Yahweh with Hyde's blood.

Yes, he is. God is dead in the hearts of men. I think the writer was confused. It's, "PUNK'S not dead."

It only smells that way.

Girl at work won't stop going on about this movie. I never thought "God being dead" was up for debate.
and the trailer where the kid says "Why do you hate God!?" was cringeworthy

Our heart does not process emotions. It pumps blood.

How can an imaginary being die, I wonder?
