‘God’s Not Dead,’ But Some Are Trying: Why are they so angry at someone who doesn't exist?

Great movie.

[Salman]

Angry at “someone who doesn’t exist”?

Or angry at people who are viciously slandering them?

[GOJPN]

If I feel the need to have the opinion of an atheist, I will arrange to have it beaten out of them.

[A_Former_Democrat]

The atheists I’ve known have been low self esteemed haters.

And ironically, many of them do find religion once they face a life threatening crisis.

Only folks I see getting slandered these days are Christians. Secular humanism is being pushed to the extreme in our schools, and make no mistake, it IS a religion - so how can organizations suggest they are against religion being taught in schools? No, the religious are persecuted regularly, and the non-religious are allowed to run roughshod over them in the name of separation. I call bogus

[factoryrat]

Because atheism=communism, religion=moral and boundaries. Communists, atheists, socialists, humanists, and democrats can't stand the
thought of letting something like a conscience, morality, consequences, or the threat of punishment from a higher power get in the way of their desires. To the nonbelievers, and their false religions and constructs, we are all either just worker ants, cattle, or slaves to be used as their whims and hedonistic desires take them. Or you could just wrap it all up in one neat package and create a religion called: islam.

Find religion? Why it’s right where they left it.

Slandering them by saying they don’t believe in the existence of an entity that supposedly doesn’t exist? Is that what you mean?

You have to be really blind to look at creation and how well it all works and then come away with the conclusion that it was all an accident, that it wasn’t the result of God.
When it’s their time to go, they will be glad to find He is a very loving, merciful God.

So go easy and don’t provoke Him too much, apparently He has limits.

Arrange it with who? Can’t you do your own aggravated assaulting?

[Dutch Boy]

I just watched it last night. I enjoyed it very much.

[GunRunner]

Have you seen it? Wondering what arguments are trotted out. Teleological, ontological, cosmological, anthropic principle, theism is only basis for morality, etc.

Most theists who I've seen debate just copy William Lane Craig in various ways and then declare victory.

“I once was lost and now am found”

[353FMG]

Atheists are basically people with a deep faith who have not found the direction their faith should be pointed.

[Let's Roll]

But the Guardian thinks mowing “down non-believers” is quite understandable and a mere cultural difference when muzzies do it.

Just as underwriting political movements is REALLY bad when the Koch Bros. do it, but REALLY good when the caring, compassionate Soros does it.

[WVNan]

It will forever mystify me as to why so many human beings hate and vilify people whose God “commands” that they love Him and their neighbor, as the most important tenant of their faith. sometimes we have to really work hard at loving those who hate us enough to slaughter us by the millions. Give us a break atheists.

[GOJPN]

I an afford the attorneys needed to beat them. A beating is not always physical.

The old lady’s lucid moment with Dean Cain at the end is my favorite part and IMO the most powerful.
