KEVIN SORBO AS HERCULES
Posted on 08/18/2014 5:47:17 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Actor Kevin Sorbo who starred in the Christian film, "God's Not Dead," says he did not have reservations about taking on an atheist role for the movie but he admits that he does not understand the logic behind atheist's lack of beliefs and why they are "so angry."
Sorbo, who is most famous for the '90s TV series "Hercules," played an atheist professor in the film whose belief system is challenged by one of his Christian students. He recently sat down with Access Hollywood Live to discuss the film's success and his take on skeptics.
"I'm a Christian myself and had to play an atheist. I see the anger of these (atheist) guys on TV and it's like 'wow, how do you get so angry at something you don't believe in?" said Sorbo.
He added, "What's interesting is that people say students don't get persecuted in universities because of their beliefs but it does happen. What's the big deal? I'm a 'live and let live' kind of guy. If you're an atheist, fine. If you're agnostic, we can talk. This movie is not to preach to the choir, we wanted the choir to come and obviously they did."
Furthermore, the actor said he is not fond of how atheists have a say in Christian traditions like Christmas.
"It's funny how they can get nativity scenes pulled down because they say it offends them but they're offended by something they don't believe in. What offends 90 percent of the country is that they take down nativity scenes but apparently the majority doesn't have a voice in the country anymore so what are you going to do?" said Sorbo.

Lol...simple observation and yet you know it will absolutely cause lefties to self-detonate. Truth is anathema to the left.
I was a big fan of the Hercules series. I am happy to see that Kevin is “on our side”.
I also liked him in the Sci-Fi series “Andromeda”.
Well, of course they’re angry, Kev, they have no God/Love in their lives!............................
Not to mention they Have No Songs!
I know Steve’s an atheist, but that was hillarious.
Never heard that before. It was awesome.................Way to go Steve!...................
Of course they're angry. They look at things going on in the world and think - "If God existed, life would be fair"....then they realize life is no 'fairer' without Him.

BTW - RULES, people!
A lot of people don’t know that Sorbo suffered from three strokes and had to learn to walk and talk again when he was doing his TV series.
Disrespect Christmas? GeezLaWeez.
Saw his interview on FNC and loved him all over again!
He could also add homos and liberals or would that be redundant?
I wonder if he prayed...or just waited and hoped that his THIRD stroke wouldn't leave him a vegetable. Betcha he did pray.
As they say: There are no atheists in foxholes.
OMG...I didn’t know that.
Thanks for that info. As a person who has worked with stroke survivors, I KNOW what that would entail. It makes me admire Kevin even MORE. Thank you! :-)
Hubba Hubba! ;-)
Not Guilty!
Still Not guilty!
