Review of God's Not Dead (2014) by Monkeyfunky — 15 May 2014
This movie is a joke. It doesn't at all paint an accurate description of atheists. They are potrayed as angry and hateful, but many atheist you will meet are the exact opposite. Her humanist bumper sticker is a joke.
Most people who believe differently than you aren't abrasive and hostile, more often then not, they simply leave you alone. I was extremely disapointed with this. It perpetuates bad steriotypes and doesn't logically exammine both sides of the debate in detail.
I can honestly say I hated this movie and I really didn't want to. As the daughter of parents who are catholic and atheist, I wanted it to find common ground and reconcile both belief's viewpoints, and to see the people who represent these two differing opinions potrayed accuratley and without bias.
As an agnostic, this didn't sway me, it disgusted me. My father is nothing like the atheists potrayed in this movie, and most atheists aren't. And lets be real (spoiler) even though the professor converted at the end and always had a faith in God, he is put up on a petastal that is supposed to represents nonbelievers as a whole, and it only makes the other side look bad, because it potrays secular people as inherently moral-less and bad.
Examples like this movie are exactly why people don't follow organized religon, if at all.
