Dat song!
Why in God's name did you expose me to this?!?!?!!!
Holy shit, the vitriol here for Christianity is nuts.
That said, the trailer was pretty lol-worthy and its due to that stupid song in the background. Nobody takes Christian music seriously because its always so "in your face" about everything and there's never any subtlety about it. Plus they can never start with a song and build around that, its always gotta start with the message they want to push and have the song built around that. And that's why most of the time it sucks.
Other than that, the trailer wasn't so bad. At least, not the last minute that I saw. Make all the jokes you want about Kevin Sorbo and Dean Cain, but at least it wasn't Kirk Cameron.

I saw one episode of this...I think the episode was about the guy who created bibleman had a crisis of faith because he was proud of his work. It was lame as hell, but surprisingly meta.

I got this as an ad when I was clicking through to a Rebecca Watson video.
I don't know whether that's incredibly shitty marketing or incredibly savvy marketing.

What other movies are showing in your theater? I'm sure there is something more interesting than funding this garbage lol
Oh all the usual stuff. I'm not surprised that my theater was part of the limited release given where I live, yet for everything I actually am interested in seeing that gets limited releases they are much more difficult to find. lol.
I am really curious about what argument finally triggers the professor to see the error in his ways though, unless it's the bit in the trailer with the kid pushing him to admit that he simply hates god. If that's the moment then that's pretty weak. I have a feeling that's how a lot of people view atheists, not as people that don't believe in god but as people that hate god. Which doesn't make sense, but it is what it is.

Jesus H. Christ L O L. Kevin Sorbo Nooooooooooooooo! I'll always have Herc' era Sorbo.
Edit: Just watched again. That's a pretty incredible straw man Sorbo is playing. "I won't be teaching today unless everyone first admits that the god I don't believe in is dead!"

The one where Christians are persecuted for their beliefs, like the Bible said they would be.

The trailer made it look like they're going to extend that meme about the atheist liberal professor into an entire movie

Just watch an old episode of Hercules. Can't remember if it was an Action Pack movie or from the series, but he takes on Zeus and gets fucking punked.
Also, not like this, Kevin. Not like this. It's Jefferson D'Arcy all over again...

There you are just hanging out, using your enormous political and cultural influence to try to keep the women and homos and godless liberal professors and sand people in their proper places, when suddenly some meanies on the internet poke fun at you. The Bible was right, persecution is really hard to deal with!

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand and ...
Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent )
Professor: You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella. Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor: Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor: So who created evil ?
(Student did not answer)
Professor: Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who Created them ?
(Student had no answer)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you. Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor: Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor: Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor: Yes, Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't.
(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )
Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold. Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

Read a couple reviews, two opposing, and then I read some HuffPost article about someone in college responding to it (pathetically).
I'm absolutely going to watch this.

Of course it's a joke post. Jesus.
So it's exactly what it looked like.
I got a little sad seeing a persecution-complex note on Kevin Sorbo's Facebook page, complaining about an article in Variety that talked about the weekend box office returns. This movie got the headline despite being in fourth place for the weekend, but Sorbo still managed to twist it into his being persecuted by librul Hollywood, because his name wasn't mentioned until the end of the article. Et tu, Sorbo?
Disappointed!

Dean Cain, you're better than this, maybe, I guess possibly.
