As a Christian myself, this movie was hard to get though. This is why people dislike Christians so much. Christian teachings don't belong in government, sure a Christian can allow their beliefs to influence something where they are, but it doesn't mean forcing Christianity on others.
If a Christian is in a position of power they have, they shouldn't get up on a podium and tell the world they have to follow Jesus. This movie made atheist look like the worst people on the planet. While in fact there are so many atheist that are much nicer than Christians. It's obvious this movie was shaming the left. Im independent, I don't think politics should ever rule someones life but putting one side down to lift the other up isn't okay. Both sides have good and bad policies.
As Christians we should be loving and open to everyone. Jesus cared for sinners, gave free things to the poor. Jesus wouldn't talk about the left (or the right) in the manner this movie portrays.
If Pure Flix was brave they would make a "God's Not Dead: Church Awaking"
As a Christian I have absolutely no desire to go to church anymore. Too many churches say they care until someone is in need like food, gas, etc and they just say, "We will pray for you" and don't help. The generosity of the church should go back to Acts when people just gave to help others. The church is supposed to be a light, its lost it. Too many horror stories of women getting se*ually harassed by pastors. Too many churches are just about the lights and sound, caring a little too much about how the band looks and sounds rather than just loving people and meeting them when they are at.
Churches have lost grace & compassion for others. Churches are about show & fun now, where churches used to be a place for the broken. People don't notice anymore if you leave, people don't check in, people go to church and act like a snob to others the next day, too many churches argue over small things in scripture like the end times or if they should celebrate Halloween or not. Then those that enjoy Halloween, other Christians attack them saying its sinful, but the one dressing up and getting candy doesn't have the convention its wrong. If you are personally convicted to not do Halloween, cool, but don't shame others for doing it.
And when someone asks a Christian about a hard topic, like suffering Christians are really bad at discussing it. They use too many "Christianeese" language. Like just saying, "Oh well if you trust in Jesus God works all things together for good" that's something you tell a Christian, not an unsaved person. You have to walk through a few things step by step and not just jump on "Oh Jesus loves you, trust him everything will be okay"
If Pure Flix really wanted to make an impactful movie, focus on church issues. That should be their next God's Not Dead movie. Because there is a serious issue in the church.
