God's Not Dead: In God We Trust

Continuing in the christian persecution fetish trend of the past films, which I have inexplicably all watched for sheer entertainment value at their absurdity, this movie somehow manages to go the extra mile and contradict itself.

Did you know that there are more ordained ministers in Congress than ever before?

Also did you know that a christian can't get elected because government is anti-religion?

How does this movie manage to square these two "facts"? It does not. It just somehow doesn't even notice the contradiction. Congress is currently composed of somewhere around 90% christians. Yet this movie would have us believe that being a christian makes it almost impossible to get elected and that all of our elected representatives hate religion.

That in a nutshell is the absurdity of this film.

Well that, and also comparing the current state of the US government to the cultural revolution in China. Which is probably a scary statement to anyone who knows absolutely nothing about the cultural revolution.

If this is the best argument that can be made for a christian theocratic government in the US, then at least we don't have much to fear.

Judging by what movies have super high ratings right now & the comments for this movie, I'm not sure a high rating from IMDb could even be considered a good thing. I gave it a 7-because it leaves room for more preaching, and I feel strongly that there is a lot more room to show the lacking integrity we see from the left side (& sometimes right) in politics-there's a pretty clear difference though-& it's obvious which side hates God. We need more movies like this one. It's shocking that many Christians do not vote-if you read this please do not hesitate to vote against a liberal government that wants to remove your freedom. They've removed voter i.d. Laws, made our border & security a national threat, and children having gender confusion is only a huge problem because of leftist ideologies that simultaneously want to remove God from every facet of our communities-which include government, education, entertainment, you name it!

If you love Jesus, if you love your country, you'll appreciate this movie!

This was definitely worth watching. It was as hilarious as that podcast made it seem. Let's start with the villain: a man who wants to govern the country with.....science and reason. Literally. That's actually the villain's big, evil plan. Meanwhile, David A. R White complains that everything nonbelievers don't like, they label Christian nationalism in a movie that repeatedly (and I mean, repeatedly) claims America is, was, and has only ever been, a Christian nation.

This movie simultaneously boasts that there are more ministers in Congress now than ever while ALSO complaining that there's not enough religion in politics and being a proud Christian makes it hard to get elected. This movie complains about the government not giving enough money to David's favorite women's shelter while ALSO claiming the government shouldn't spend money on healthcare. This movie claims that separation of church and state means that government should say out of church, but church should totally be in government while ALSO claiming that it's not promoting Christian nationalism.

It's hysterical and as the movie it is, a comedy, it gets a 10. But for the movie it thinks it in-an effective, well-made film harmlessly presenting the benefits of Christian nationalism-it gets a 0. But that's not an option on IMDb.

Look. I'm a Christian. I love my faith. I love religious freedom. But my goodness, this movie deserves -15 stars. It's another in a long string of poorlg written and acted Christian movies that don't seek to actually share God's message and instead want to be persecuted and right. I left evangelicalism for a reason.

Also, for anyone saying "this country was founded on Christian values!!!" The founding fathers were deists. Most of them were not Christian. Religion should not be a part of politics. This is a country for the people, and unfortunately for evangelicals, people are rejecting evangelicalism in unprecedented droves. I hate this movie. I despise its message. Because this isn't a movie about religious freedom, it's about Christian nationalism. Jesus rejected it, and I do too.

This movie is why Christian entertainment is not beating the allegations that Christian media is just bad. CS Lewis and the Chosen are really holding the line tbh.

It is shameful that many church leaders have become less comforting and more divisive using scare tactics. I do not feel my faith is 'under attack'. Jesus was a unifier, not a divider. No political party or leader can hold our full devotion. That belongs to Jesus alone. We choose peace that comes from joy, the strength found in loving our neighbors, and the grace in showing compassion by encouraging all people regardless of their social station in life.

This isn't just a vote; it's a reflection of our faith. Approaching this election, our hearts should be drawn to a path that reflects His teachings not the selfish nature of a man who deems himself 'chosen'.
