Fun fact: When I was very religious I watched the first God's Not Dead. I didn't know how I felt about it so I started watching atheist reviews of the film, and that's how I started deconstructing. The movie was so bad not only did it fail to strengthen my faith, it backfired.

I’m a philosophy major at a public “liberal” university. Before starting, I took classes at a local Catholic college. The philosophy professors at my current school have never forced their beliefs or even expressed strong personal opinions on any of the theories we’re studying. At the Catholic school, though, I knew exactly what my professor thought about everything we were studying. It was far more dogmatic. The villain of the first movie is just an exaggerated version of what Christians do currently through an atheist character

real. i took intro to philosophy as humanities requirement, and I knew immediately my professor was a christian. Not because of the cross necklace he wore, but because he spent 5 weeks of the epistemology section dissecting each of st. Aquinas' arguments for the existence of god. and then two more weeks lingering on different flavors of divine command theory. where it got blatantly obvious where his leanings were, was in how he didn't include any contentions to those notions. but his lecture on Hegelian phenomenology was almost spent all on refutations. it was kinda goofy looking back on it.

One of my favorite parts of philosophy was actually discussing various religions and different people's explanations of higher power, or the lack thereof. The whole point of philosophy to me isn't to prove anything, but to reflect on the nature of existence and how different people interpret it. A good philosophy prof won't shut anything down or try to say something isn't true, because they'd know the whole point of faith is, well, faith. It isn't really a fully proven thing. The prof in the movie really does seem like a holier-than-thou/I-know-more-than-you christian, just without the christianity.

A very similar thing happens with Wicca and Paganism as well. If you're a pegan or a witch you're seen as trapped, fooled, and enslaved to Satan (even if you don't even believe in Satan). So they paint a picture that witches are unhappy and just haven't found god yet, even though [some] Christians would gladly tell a witch to believe in their god and should believe in that god forever, or else something bad may happen. So a lot of kids aren't even allowed to read about it or think about it, converting people is only seen as a good thing when it's about their specific god, which I've never liked about Christianity.

I think "I don't know" is occasionally okay. I mean, ultimately, EVERY belief eventually leads to "I don't know." But I guess maybe he was saying that every time you realize something you don't know, you should try to find an answer? Even if you never succeed in it. I think I could agree to that. It's always great to try to find the answers even if it may not be possible.

The prince of Egypt worked because it wasn’t indoctrination, it was just telling a story. And it was also a beautiful movie to watch. Movies about religion and with major religious themes work the best when they’re not trying to shove their respective faith down your throat and make everything else seem horrible.

Which makes no sense because that means it's harder to get subs now... Since people who have them have access to more features to improve the experience...

As someone in their 30s who was homeschooled K-12, I can absolutely attest that homeschooling should be regulated. I was one of the lucky ones where, though my family was very religious, my mom still cared about me having a legitimately good education. And when she reached her limits on her personal knowledge with subjects like math and science, she put me in a charter program which allowed me to go to classes once a week with actual teachers at a charter campus, and then bring assignments home the rest of the week to work on. There were other kids there too, so I got to socialize and learn more of who I was. I knew a lot of other homeschooled kids who didn't get that supplemental schooling like I did, and I saw them struggle as we got older. Some parents are really well intentioned and think they can do the best for their kids, but teachers get degrees for a reason. And, as you mentioned, many parents who homeschool are not well-intentioned and use it to conceal abuse.

I didn't really understand what religion is (I literally went to a summer Bible camp thing for an entire summer and never knew it was religious). Can't remember what I thought of "God" being in the title, but saying anything "is dead" automatically made me believe it was a horror movie.

There’s an absurd divide created by our society that says you must be religious or pro gay rights, or any other sensible thing (separation of ideology and state, importance of science, etc.). I came to Christianity through logic, actual logic, not this nonsense made by morons who make the ignorant claims of Richard Dawkins seem sensible. And I see my faith as a guide for standing up for peace and unconditional love. These are the commands of Jesus Christ. Anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or a charlatan.

Like, if they didn’t know his role in Twin Peaks, then they got EXTREMELY lucky in casting someone who’s most famous role is playing a character who repeatedly molests and murders his daughter as the villain, and if they DO know his role in Twin Peaks, then WOW is that brilliant.

I was homeschooled. For a few years, we participated in a homeschool group where the kids got together at a church once a week and had some “organized class” with volunteer parents. Kids were split by grades, not all in one room. It’s helpful because one of the biggest problems for homeschool kids is lacking social interaction. Also, being homeschooled meant that I was regulated to hell and back. I had to take twice as many standardized tests as normal students, and when I applied to some colleges, I had to take more advanced tests to prove myself, which I failed and wasn’t admitted. My mom created syllabus for all my high school “classes”, made a transcript for me, the whole nine yards.

To be clear...I'm not like that anymore, and I now realize how terrible the first movie (and all following) truly are.
