Yeah when I said kookery was flagging I meant it was losing a lot of its novelty for me after being into it for so long. There's only so many way you can mix and match steel beams, NWO, rapture and UFOs. I found a man so deeply afraid of socery and the insane infernal power to make a coin disappear really refreshing.

Honestly, if magic were real, or atleast if it worked the way that guy claims, it wouldn't be nearly as impressive. Magic tricks take practice and some skill, but if all it took was a contract with Satan and some demon possession, than anyone could do it.

Satan is a pretty chill guy. I mean, he's the villain all through the bible, but he really doesn't do that much stuff while god slaughters and maims

It seems to almost be a hallmark of a certain flavor of religious nut who posts these long rambling videos about conspiracies against jesus that they have the flat monotone of a schizophrenic or a serial killer in full dissociative mode.

If that vaticanmonastery.com guy is an actual priest, I'm pretty sure all the other priests know he's fully crazy and just keep him somewhere away from children.

That links to about 25 minutes into the video. The lack of skepticism is astounding. He can't even figure out basic tricks.

So he thinks that a radar dish exists that can track David Copperfield's heartbeat through the great wall of china and register it as a series of beeps? Usually, autistic people are better at figuring out how magic tricks work because they can't be distracted by jokes and hand flourishes.

The magicians video is pretty much an excuse for the dude to gush about awesome magic tricks for nigh on three hours under the guise that he's worried about satanic panic, the language he uses to describe some of them is really funny.

With the first Gods Not Dead they had a theme song from Christian band The Newsboys.

They wrote a song for this movie and oh boy

quote:

When did it become breaking a rule
To say Your name out loud in school
When Your name is the only one that sets us free
When did it become incorrect
To speak the truth about life and death
When Your life gave us all eternity

Even if it gets me convicted I’ll be on my knees with my hands lifted

If serving You is against the law of man
If living out my faith in You was banned
Then I’ll stand right before the jury
If saying ‘I believe’ is out of line
If I’m judged ‘cause I’m gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
Then I want to be guilty

I’ll rise up and honor You
I’ll testify to the good You do
‘Cause your grace and Your mercy have overtaken me

Guilty by association
Guilty of being a voice proclaiming
Your ways
Your truth
Your life
I’ll pay the price to be Your light

I want to be guilty

Also I was reading reviews and this happens


God’s Not Dead 2 gives us a scene in which a heroic white lawyer lectures a black high-school principal on the meaning of Martin Luther King’s teachings.

Who could forget Breakfast

quote:

Hold the milk, put back the sugar
They are powerless to console
We've gathered here to sprinkle ashes
From our late friend's cereal bowl

Breakfast Clubbers, say the motto
That he taught us to repeat
You will lose it in your gym class
If you wait 'til noon to eat

Back when the Chess Club
Said our eggs were soft
Every Monday he'd say grace
And hold our juice aloft

Oh, none of us knew
His checkout time would come so soon
But before his brain stopped waving
He composed this tune

When the toast is burned
And all the milk has turned
And Captain Crunch is waving farewell

When the big one finds you
May this song remind you
That they don't serve breakfast in Hell

Breakfast Clubbers, drop the hankies
Though to some our friend was odd
That day he bought those pine pajamas
His check was good with God

Those here without the Lord
How do you cope?
For this morning we don't mourn
Like those who have no hope

Oh, rise up, Fruit Loop lovers
Sing out sweet and low
With spoons held high
We bid our brother, Cheerio

I assume her general biographical facts and reasonably corroboratable parts like "ran a youth church group" and "wrote about God a lot in a journal" are true. But yeah, I'm sure most if not all of the wishful-thinking stuff in her dad's book about knowing she was going to die and her last words and all are a sad (but understandable on his part, I say not in contempt) effort to make meaning out of tragedy that's maybe being exploited here.

It's become such a part of the evangelical "story" that the accuracy doesn't matter at this point. For the type of people that watch this movie, it is as true as it can possibly be.

This isn't the kid who supposedly confronted the killers about her belief in god. Rachel Scott was just a kid who liked being religious and was murdered while eating lunch. That other kid's parents are total lunatics and wrote a crazy book about her, but the book Scott's parents wrote about her just seems like they're trying to make sense of something horrible happening to their child.
