    Literally none of this is remotely relevant to the fact Christianity has over 2 billion practitioners. You're arguing that fresh out of high school kids have opinions that will change at university or college - welcome to life. Of course profs will challenge your beliefs (regardless of what they - political, social, spiritual); that's kind of the point.

    And really, no one is after Christianity.

    Except the Alpha Centaurians. But don't tell them I told you.

    Moviefan, if you don't like atheists "persecuting" Christians, why don't you pray for us to stop?

    i think that has more to do with their brand of christianity being incompatible with their burgeoning intellectual maturity. if that's actually the case (and i doubt it is), the problem lies with christianity. not with 'college'.

    also. are you seriously arguing that christians in america have less influence than other religious groups? CHRISTIANS WHO CAN CLAIM EVERY SINGLE PRESIDENT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD (at least nominally). ya, christian's have an influence problem in this country. that's the issue.

    Christians who get to say "One nation under God" a ridiculous amount of times.

    Oh no, students are going to college, having their preconceived notions challenged, and are changing their minds on topics after learning new information. This is literally a genocide against Christians.

    I know this has been quoted a lot, but I want you to provide proof of this from legitimate third parties. Otherwise I'm going to assume you are a liar. In all things you state.

    guys i bet we can come up with more examples of christianity having an inordinate amount of influence in this country than moviefan can of christians being persecuted in this country.

    I don't know, PRENN, considering that 'persecuted' has been reduced to 'not getting everything you want all the time.'

    I'll be honest, Timmo is making me want to covert away from the atheist side. Dial it down a bit to "less annoying and shouty".

    Admittedly, Moviefan is being histrionic about this, but come on guys. It is entirely legitimate for a religion (or any other organization) to express concern about areas where they lose lots of membership or have weak appeal. Democrats have discussed their difficulty gaining traction in rural areas, for instance. Environmentalists discuss ways they can appeal to youth with their philosophies. None of that is inherently ridiculous.

    Wocky, Moviefan is explicitly blaming colleges for "persecuting Christians" because of said lack of appeal. None of the groups in your post have done that.

    Colleges do have religious organizations. There were multiple campus ministries at the university where I got my undergrad degree, and they advertised themselves.

    If these kids raised as Christians wanted to stay with their faith, they had options.

    Eagerly awaiting the third movie where they realize that God is a cancerous life form and thus must be destroyed to save the universe. God's Not Dead 3: Kill Your God.

    They've flipped the script. Truly revolutionary. This scenario is absolutely plausible and probably happening right now across the country pray 4 the teachers.

    How eloquently this movie captures the Zeitgeist. The evil of separation of church and state intertwined with the evils of phone-propogated social media. There's something for everyone who hates something about modern American culture.


    Yet, somehow, it doesn't seem necessary to announce that God's Not Dead 2 comes "from the creators of God's Not Dead."

    Sitting through faith based films is a personal hell I wouldn't wish on anyone. 90 Minutes in Heaven is so awful that it makes Hayden's work in AOTC and ROTS look Golden Globe worthy. War Room, at least, was unintentionally hilarious all the way through, even though it was 4 hours long.

    I feel there's a fundamental misunderstanding of when to add the "from the creators of" tag to your movie.

    Out of genuine curiosity has there ever been a movie with a religious agenda that didn't suck?
