God's Not Dead

Postby Yungundfysty » Sun Apr 13, 2014 4:14 pm

Has anyone seen the film God's Not Dead? It has Kevin Sorbo in it and centers on a debate between an atheist professor at a university and a devout christian who is persecuted by that professor. The student is forced to prove that god isn't dead by the end of the semeser or else he'll be flunked by the professor.

Anyway, this film (which I am going to see as soon as possible) makes me wonder what arguments the people of this site have on whether god is dead or not. Personally, I think god is alive in both the literal sense (he is the creator of this world and watches over all of us) and in another sense, that god exist as the foundation of our laws and moral conscience.

So anyway, what do you guys think? Is god dead or not?

Again, I think he's not dead! 8)

Sounds boring. I'm far more excited for the next Game of Thrones episode.

What evidence do you have that god is dead/isn't real? You've presented zero evidence so i'm going to chalk this up for a win for me!

How does that contribute?

I disagree. Also, what do you think about the question of god being dead or not? I think he's alive.

I don't know, they say he probably can't survive in this climate or something but then people find pictures or video footage of him popping up all around north america every few years so if he is alive he is definitely a traveller.

As an entity, what had never existed as an entity cannot be dead. As a societal concept, God has thankfully had a diminishing presence in the world though unfortunately is not quite dead yet.

Your movie sounds like terrible pro-Christian, anti-atheist propaganda. As to whether God is dead or alive, he doesn't appear to exist as far as I can tell, so I'd have to say "N/A".

Sky Atlantic won't be airing it until tomorrow night. I was hoping they'd air every episode at 2am Monday mornings like they did with the first one. Sadface.

Congratulations. Now you know how ridiculous the idea of a deity sounds.

Depends, are we talking about an immortal myth or a possible endangered species? (Possible as in may or may not be real)

By that logic, there's no evidence for God being God.
