The stillframe for that trailer makes Melissa Joan Hart look like she just realized she's not going to make it to the bathroom. Melissa Joan Shart.

The next movie ought to address the even more crucial question of whether Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, Unitarians, Quakers or Jehovah's Witnesses are real Christians who faithfully preach God's sacred word, or just unwitting minions of Satan.

although the video mordy posted raised some great points in a humorous way, theres really nothing funny about how fascist liberals are ruining our education system

it really goes to show how ppl who carry around research papers divided with a surprisingly large number of black binder clips to their first day of class are undervalued in our society but ppl who wear really cool-looking overalls get all the credit. a strong condemnation of our image obsessed, social-media addicted society

Interestingly, the reviewer follows the conceit of the filmmakers, and refers to everyone as "Christians" as opposed to the far more accurate descriptor "white Evangelicals"

I might be supportive if this film is a 2.5 hour court case where a Federal judge is finally forced to admit "Christ exists" before taking off his glasses and walking out of the courtroom...

lol the book this was based on got a rebuttal (not uncommon for non-fiction books of this type but typically it is the the atheist's book that gets 3 or 4 rebuttal books from angry theologians).

it is happening again
hen Sean Hannity isn’t fanning the flames of a uranium conspiracy, he likes to brag about “Let There Be Light,” a new movie he executive-produced, and in which he makes a sizable cameo. “I’d say 98 percent of people who watch it cry,” he told the Washington Times, as if the film’s mission is to harvest our tears. I tried to offer mine, but it wasn’t easy. Though Hannity’s studio is in New York, and though most of “Let There Be Light” is set here, the city is, to him, a liberal Babylon. Until today, when the film arrived at a single theatre in Flushing, it was nowhere in the five boroughs; New Yorkers who wanted to see the light had to go to New Jersey. I drove there one recent night, sat through the movie’s hundred and one minutes, and returned, dry-eyed, into the darkness.“Let There Be Light” is a “faith-based film,” a euphemism that makes it sound as if the director worked under divine guidance, yelling “action” and “cut” as the spirit moved him. In this case, that director is Kevin Sorbo, of “Hercules” fame, and the film he’s made is a cynical, xenophobic morality tale, as bitter as it is saccharine

When we first lay eyes on Pastor Vinny, he’s painting a picket fence—you’ll never guess which color. A formerly “mobbed-up” “street guy,” Vinny approaches the mystery of Christ as a homicide detective might: Where’s the body? “I don’t buy into things too easy,” he tells a careworn Sol. “Jesus gets whacked, right? . . . They stick his body in a tomb, they seal it up tighter than a cement drum. What happens next? Bada-bing! The body disappears.” Harkens, a man of the world, knows a good thing when he sees it, so why putter around? After one talk with Vinny, he’s ready for baptism.
“You two are doing ‘Sean Hannity’ tomorrow! Fourteen million listeners. Three million viewers! That’s radio and television, baby . . . you can’t buy that kind of publicity.” Except that Hannity just did, for himself.Soon enough, there he is, his American-flag lapel pin firmly in place, sitting in a conference room that touts Fox News’s “Fair and Balanced” motto, even though the network dropped it in June. “You’re literally going to try and convert kids to Christianity,” Hannity tells the Harkenses. “What about diversity? What right do you have to impose your religious values onto somebody else?”“Well, what right does ISIS have to cut people’s heads off?” Harkens retorts.“That’s a powerful point,” Hannity says.

God is aborted. God remains aborted. And we have aborted him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the abortionists of all abortionists? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

omg there's a FIFTH movie in this series coming out this year, apparently
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God's_Not_Dead_(film_series)
Directed by Harold Cronk, the premise will follow Reverend David "Dave" Hill as he runs for office in a campaign against an opponent that seeks to remove religion from public policy; and the Reverend begins to question: "Is God dead in American politics?".
thinking of actively disrupting every showing of this movie at my local theatre.
