Croisquessein posted:I love how the poster seems to be illustrating the undeniable ancestral link between humans and apes, and that's apparently the opposite of what they meant. Because they think they do know all about it because of what they've been told by religious twits that don't know anything about it. It's really common. They want to believe in God and creation and all that jazz so some quack like Hovind or Ham pop up and write a bunch of bullshit papers/reports on why some idea that conflicts is wrong (see the creation museum for 'facts') and these dolts eat it up because god is real and science must be wrong because God and their specific religion can't be wrong. ChickenMedium posted:That will never happen because the people making these movies don't give a poo poo. They are in it to make a buck, and making the movies good would cut into their profit margins. Plus, the people who are buying the tickets don't want "good" they want "reinforces my own beliefs" with a side of "sticking it to Hollywood/liberals/atheists." This is all you need to know when it comes to evangical movies.

Xibanya posted:From what I'm getting, Catholics tend to be better at making films with explicitly Christian messages. Could that be because most Catholics in the US are relatively recent immigrants (like from last 100 years) and live on the East or West coasts and the evangelicals are all clustered in flyover country so it's more a rural vs. urban divide than anything inherent to the religions themselves? Eh, your general religious retards span over every branch of religion no matter what or where. for example while you have moderate catholics, you also have others that aren't like Andy Schafely (granted he's more catholic in title only) and other parts where catholics see the Virgin Mary in toast and jesus in a bathroom door, or a holy image on a sheet pan....

Well, that's what the people this film was aimed at honestly believe. atheists are atheists because somewhere along the line a tragedy had struck and they blamed god for it. Just like the complaint that the professor is just some clueless boob. The people that the thing was geared for don't think atheists are capable of any thought, rationalization or morals because they reject the obvious. They're corrupted by satan to try and destroy Christianity and turn people away just because.

Croisquessein posted:In this movie's context the implication is that Sorbo's character does believe in god but hates him, which doesn't describe Bill Nye. Well, this again is the fundamentalist mindset. Atheists deny god because they're angry with him or blame him for how their life turns out. At no point do any of them understand that atheists don't believe there is a god. But then if they did, it might help them understand things better, which you know they aren't going to do

A guy was showing off written Chinese characters and interpreting that they had origins in the Christianity. Eh, i may not have seen it, but i can reasonably bet it's a bunch of made up poo poo and fabrication much like those bigfoot hunters, ancient aliens, and ghost hunter shows do If there's one thing I've learned, if the film is put out to show the "TRUTH", it's most likely complete bullshit. Ironic. Maybe it wasn't purposely made to have a religious bent to it, but Saints and Soldiers made me roll my eyes continuously with the evil atheist medic wanting to kill, lie, and steal only to possibly find god in the end while the poor, honest, honorable mormon soldier struggles with guilt over an accident he committed and is deeply sorry for. muscles like this? posted:That dinosaur title is weird.

Ya know, normally i ask whether people like that know why they're not deemed worth enough to keep. the only place i've seen that sort of religious bullshit get a free pass was at a job where the management staff and a few coworkers were all fundies that attended the same church. Needless to say when the owner overheard them all pondering whether he was one of those "radical muslims" the staff started to thin out a bit. As far as I know the owner never expressed any religious belief ever and was a pretty good guy. Used to piss the managers off when he'd come in and say hi to me by name and then say hi to everyone else as a group. I assumed they figured we were in cahoots since they knew i was an evil agnostic/atheist at the time

Neo Rasa posted:Margot Kidder and Howie Mandel, both of whom claim to have been unaware it was a Christian film until well into filming. This seems to be an ongoing theme when it comes to people iffy on religion being put in religious themed movies. One would wonder why those that are supposed to be honest as their deity commands would be dishonest when "spreading the Word". I've asked it of other religious moral crusades, if your moral crusade requires immoral acts to push it along, is it really that moral?

I. am. truly. baffled. that. some. adult. still. thinks. magic. tricks. are. real. magic. Just the narration was enough to make me want to stab my brain. This guy's basically taken a usual approach lots of the nutbars take. "I can't explain it/understand it, therefor god" The stupid thing is a small google search will tell you how these tricks are preformed. Hell, the face changers he drones on about you can see the masks pull down by the arm hidden under their cloaks in shots where the arms don't wave up to obscure it.

^ Really, if anything it always looks like "kookery" is on the rise. There's insane assholes all over. I do love magic though, good magic that leaves you amazed and entertains. It's just as much showmanship as it is talent. Blaming satan and actual powers for stuff people learn and practice all their lives because their lives depend on it is just stupid and sad. I'll bet this gently caress is the same that watches movies to pick apart messages for Jesus/satan rather than for entertainment

KinkyJohn posted:Why are the comments disabled for every christian trailer movie ever? Is it because the non-believers are bullying those poor christians on the youtube, or is it because the creator pre-emptively knows what type of comments he'll get... Eh, they likely know people are gonna either troll the comments or beat their opinions shown in the clip into the dirt. So to avoid having to defend their crazy bullshit they'll block comments instead. Kinda like watching them bitch on IMDb about "atheists" insta downvoting their movies with 1 star ratings. But when you actually look at the votes, there's like 25-50% that 10 star the movies and a sprinkling of other votes down to a small percentage that voted 1. It's just them trying to excuse their bullshit by not giving anyone room to question it or play the victim...because dear god are Christians ever persecuted more than anything else in the modern era

hemophilia posted:Last Days In The Desert features a non-divine Jesus? That kinda sucks. Is it at least a good movie? If I have faith am I gonna feel like poo poo if I enjoy it? Well, the more "devote" push it anyways. I've seen lots of Christians rail against it just as much as anyone else because it really has no message or any meaning except "Everyone was evil and killed Jesus, see how awesome we are for believing in it". Religious stuff can be done well, I enjoyed the Bible series when the History channel showed it and I didn't get beat over the head with a book through the whole thing about how awesome this religion is. I'd like to be able to enjoy Saints and Soldiers more, but the movie is so trite on the religion vs atheism thing it's hard to watch without rolling your eyes so much they hurt. The thing is, Gibson didn't make a movie to be artsy or creative. He made a movie to showboat part of his religion

FreudianSlippers posted:I don't really see why the Jews get so much flack while the Romans get off basically scot free. I mean sure the local religious authorities really put a lot of pressure on the Romans to execute Jesus but they weren't the ones to actually torture and crucify the dude. It's not like the Romans had to whip him and put a crown of thorns on him and generally torment. They could've just slit his throat and be done with it. They could also very easily have totally ignored the locals and their bullshit. As the story goes, Jesus and that murderer dude were brought out and the crowd of Jews was asked who should be let go and who should be crucified...the Jews chose Jesus to be the ppunished one and let the other guy go. Least that's how it goes in the bible. The christian apologists I've heard always excuse the Roman torture as "they did that to everyone, Jesus wasn't really a special case"

Cemetry Gator posted:Another film that covers concepts of faith is "Gran Turino." I never read it as such when watching it. Faith was just something to pop up here and there and try to sway Walt from his old timers fail-to-adapt-to-change and be the occasional comedic relief. He just takes a shining to the Hmongs and realises that the kids he's come to love can never really be free until the gang is dealt with and he knew there was no real way one guy was going to stand up to them. I mean to see the priest go from calm and collected to "Oh Lord Jesus, what have you done?" as soon as Walt walks in, or even his scared "Je -- zuz -- Christ." gasps out when Walt says he is at peace were just beautiful moments of comedy in a dark way

Cemetry Gator posted:They're definitely comedic moments, and they're played up for laughs, but that doesn't mean it is just there to lighten the mood. I didn't see it as him changing because religion. It was more or less because of the gang attack on the girl. Up till that moment he was still openly hostile to the priest, and even after till they connected with a shared concern over what to do. I think through the whole thing Walt was religious, he was just one of those types that found doing all the extras and poo poo to be annoying, and the fact that the father was a youngster vs his sagely age, hence the moment Walt asks him if he knows about death. The ending was just Walt getting his last poo poo together with the suit, the haircut, and finally hitting confession.

There's one where satan is everything bad, thus satan fell from heaven, satan tempting eve, etc. Then there's another, though much smaller, group that understands that the snake was an animal, not satan nor possessed, and Lucifer is not satan but a king of old who fell from grace for declaring himself higher than god.
