come anticipate Kevin Sarbo as an evil atheist philosophy professor in the new film from Pure Flix Entertainment, GOD'S NOT DEAD

i can't believe classes have started awarding grades based on relative privilege. it's a scandal.

i want to go to a school where u get a free trip to NYC for getting the best test score

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

One thing it did accurately depict is that the gay classmate is always the dumbest.

well i mean really what gay careers need advanced mathematics? architecture and maybe high-end identity fraud and thats it

exciting new preview of god's not dead 2:

i watched the first one a few days ago. it's quite bad! great ending though. imagine how annoyed you'd be if you were dying in agony and some chirpy asshole started trying to convert you

♫ god's not dead / he's surely alive ♫

sry already posted upthread. goddamnit

just realized now that Sorbo's been misspelled in the thread title for a few years now.

maybe the "a" is for atheist?

so this is more a "spiritual sequel" than a literal sequel?

(in more ways than one, obv)

they had so many strawmen to choose from, I think they probably will do fine

as long as the next one is in 3-D

God's Not D3A-D

And the early reviews are in!

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/filmchat/2016/03/review-gods-not-dead-2-dir-harold-cronk-2016.html

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"

previews for this are abt to either make me pay for ad free hulu or abandon western civilization forever as a lost cause

Robert Forster?!

that mustache is unfortunately evidence for the defense

gettin some Zodiac vibes from the costuming/art direction

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...

...by way of opening a window, and the courtroom is unfortunately on the 70th floor

oh this is about Lee Strobel?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

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.

I love how they decided on "Harkens" as an atheist kind of name.

fuckin' lol at that fake book cover

there has to be some sort of self-reflection they skipped when they had to make the world's most popular atheist a hedonist rock star type instead of an irritating scold like Dawkins and his posse

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?

That's why they got Hercules to do it.

seems like a real asshole move to put a giant author pic on the front of your book about aborting god, even dawkins would think tw-

oh

just had an idea for a sequel where Dorks and the Fundies have to team up to take on the real enemy...J K Rowling

saw the trailer for the newest entry in theatres.

there's actually explosions and violence in it or something

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.

Harold Cronk

Cronk returns!

Is Kevin Sorbo dead?

I’d say that is just going to be like the Police Academy movies, where they’ll keep making them as long as the returns are greater than the costs, but these guys are doing an ideological project and getting funding from billionaires, so they don’t really need to rely on box office and licensing success.

So we’re probably going to get more of these than we got of cheap o Land Before Time sequels

The Land Before God

Love offerings from billionaires

Going to replace this film canister with Wicker Man brb

The teacher named Professor Radisson, begins the class by having each student sign a document that denies the existence of God.

Man, philosophy class was the best
