Review of God's Not Dead 2 (2016) by Winchester7 — 04 Feb 2017

I feel sorry for the lead actors and the rest of the cast who bought into the victim mentality of the film and being misled by the false premise that Christianity was under attack. One actor (Jesse Metcalfe) even has his own Television show (Dallas) on network TV for crying out loud. The court cases listed in the credits have nothing to do with Christians being persecuted, but have everything to do with Christians doing the persecution. As for the choices made in the story, why on god's green Earth would a teacher need a public defender to defend her in a civil court? And why on great Zeus' Olympus would a teacher be in trouble for uttering the name Jesus? The court cases that have been mentioned in the end credits were examples of Christians doing the persecuting. The real message of the 'God's not Dead' franchise, I believe is this: "If you don't allow me to persecute you, then you are persecuting me.".

This and the previous instalment of the 'God's not Dead' franchise is trying too hard to get people to believe in Christianity. It's like a sales representative trying too hard to convince a customer to get an extended warranty even after the customer repeatedly says no.

Believe it or not, there is going to be a third 'God's not Dead' instalment coming out sometime this year, and god forbid, we're going to see the same persecution mentality.

To be completely honest with you, this film and Christian films like this, do not resonate in any positive way, shape or form.
