I'm just happy to see Hercules and Superman working together

Yep, strawman sums it up pretty good.

Hercules...
Superman...

and Strawman...

I totally have to watch this... nope, couldn't keep a straight face.

strawman: the movie

The statement; "god's not dead." is a non sequitur. For him/her/it to be dead, he/she/it would have had to have existed in the first place which is, obviously, not the case. Well, at least obvious to rational, logical, free thinking, intelligent, non-brainwashed people.

Did I hear him say that science supports the existence of god? I'd grab some popcorn but I'm pretty sure Kurt Cameron has already spoiled that debate for me.

I can't help but wonder if the character's name Josh Wheaton is some sort of sad little dig at Joss Whedon since he's an atheist.

was the writer of this movie someone who got rejected by Whedon or something?

Wow, Sorbo... how far you've fallen.

Err, wait, I guess it's not that far.

I wonder how much money this will make. I'm curious because everyone super religious always denounces all the media people etc etc so how many of them will be drawn to the theatres? Is this another Passion?

Of course the kid's gonna prove God exists.

Because, bananas, right?

Adding video to channels (Comedy, Commercial, Controversy) - requested by MrFisk.

This is actually going to be in theaters?

Or straight to DVD?

I'm betting the latter. DVD and "showings" at churches.

Many of the pious really do believe that atheists are merely "angry at god." They honestly can't conceive that there are people who are are unbelievers. Shinyblurry said as much to me one time, poor lil fella.

it goes even further than that. Any person truly honest with themselves or has even the least bit a questioning mind at least asks themselves at one point "hey what if I'm wrong" I think pretty much every non-believer ever has asked themselves that question COUNTLESS times. And I think almost every one of them has come up with the answer that even if there is a creator, it's STILL a fucked up system and then you run into Pascal's wager where people are just believing out of fear or to cover their asses, which supposedly God can see right through that anyway so pretty much everyone ever born goes to hell.

It's virtually impossible for some people to question authority. God exists because their parents told them so and that's it. It shocks me to this day how many people don't know how to think critically or don't know what logical fallacies are.

I still remember one of the most important lessons I learned in high school from my calculus teacher. You have to learn how to learn. A teacher can teach you things and you can regurgitate them on command, but at some point you have to move past that and become your own teacher and become a problem solver.

All in all, I don't have a problem with religious people as a whole. There are plenty of religious people out there that are willing to live and let live and think god is based on love and not fear and those who think differently are not a threat. It's those...other people that try to legislate their religion that are a problem.
