Review of God's Not Dead 2 (2016) by Chuck N — 31 Mar 2016

Please don't let the "critics" discourage you. Before going to the theater, I read many of the professional reviews on Flixster. I paid for a ticket anyway and witnessed a completely different movie.

God's Not Dead 2 actually featured compelling acting, an engaging courtroom drama with an unexpected twist, powerful music, compassionate personal connections between characters, and an example of a strong woman who stuck to her personal convictions, which just happened to violate today's skewed definition of "diversity" and interpretation of the First Amendment.

Some critics remarked that the movie features "paranoid" or conspiratorial themes to promote the false belief that Christians are persecuted. However, those who watch the news (e.g., beheadings of Christians, public ridicule of belief in God by intelligent ones, silencing of student free speech that is not politically correct, removal of references to God and Christianity from public places) and read the list of approximately 30 cases at the end of the movie (which documents real legal cases in which Christians defended themselves against legal action), understand that this situation is more realistic than many "based on a true story" movies that are praised by the same bunch of groupthink critics who condemned this movie.

This is a moving, realistic movie that inspires people to stand up for their beliefs and treat others with compassion, both messages that should be universally lauded. Watch it and you'll see what I'm talking about.
