So I saw that movie God's Not Dead

Keep in mind that I go to a Christian private school, so today we saw God's Not Dead. I realize that a lot of you more than likely aren't interested in this movie, but it honestly wasn't that bad of a movie. [b]From an objective viewpoint[/b] the movie was well scripted, well acted, and the pacing was good, as was the story line. [b]From a religious (Christianity) viewpoint[/b] it's an inspirational film to the believers out there. I mean, all in all it wasn't a bad movie. Is it a must see? If you're a religious person, sure, ya, go see it, but if you're not, I don't think you will really enjoy it. I'd probably give it a 7/10.

    This is reassuring because I plan on taking a friend of mine to see it. She's an early born-again, so my biggest concern was whether or not they would effectively and accurately tackle common criticism that Christianity receives, so that the movie is insightful, as well as interesting and entertaining. I honestly expected a flop, but I've been hearing good things about this movie. My biggest gripe was that the trailer made out atheists to be aggressive, bitter, intolerant, condescending bigots. However, while this doesn't necessarily hold true for real world interactions, it certainly holds some truth in online forums such as #offtopic where people speak raw due to anonymity. Take a stroll through any "religious" thread in this forum that propagates God's existence, read the majority of the comments, and you'll see what I mean. In fact, just read some of the comments from non-theists in this thread. Honestly though, persecution in places like the US or UK involves being perceived as an occultist, illogical, unintelligent, irrational ect.) The worst we have to deal with is mockery, we're fortunate. If you want to make a movie about [i]real[/i] persecution, base it on the Christians that are being [url=http://cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/iran-deal-betrayal-american-pastor-jailed-his-christian-faith]imprisoned, tortured and/or slaughtered[/url] for their beliefs in places such as the middle east. They are the true martyrs.
