I noticed that believers (actually those who con believers) have come out with a new movie: Overcomer. Different from the straw man titles that they usually push: God is Not Dead, God is Not Dead 2, God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness, which is quite funny if it wasn't so sad. An atheist would not claim god is dead, something has to exist before it can die. It reminds me of the old tricks believers used to use: Who do you say Jesus is: Liar, Lunatic, or Lord? Wait, you haven’t even proven Jesus existed in the first place. They take advantage of the fact that religion is saturated into society with a large number of people wrongly accepting a god as an established fact.

Many believers don’t even know what their holy books actually teach and just assume the Bible is a historical and scientific account. They believe in the 6 day creation story, that Jonah was swallowed by a fish, in Noah's Ark, and that rabbits and hyraxes chew cud.

Many believe that there is only one God, and that Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit is also God. That only one of the three is called the Holy Spirit even though they were all spirits before Jesus impregnated his mother with himself through the Holy Spirit, making himself flesh, and that the Father is still a spirit but is distinguishable from the Holy Spirit even though they are all one spirit and person.

That it took God 4 days to create the earth and its contents, yet he created the entire complex universe in a moment of time. That he created the grass and trees on day 3 and the sun, planets, and stars on day four (Genesis 1:11-19).

That God is omnipotent, although he cannot defeat people with iron chariots (Judges 1:19) or a powerful devil that is able to continually thwart God's plan (Job 1:7-2:10; 1 Peter 5:8 ).

That God is omnipresent, yet travels to certain places (Genesis 3:8; Genesis 11:7; Genesis 18:16-33)

That God is omniscient, even though he is consistently finding out new things, arguing with people, and changing his mind (Genesis 2:18; Genesis 3:9-11; Genesis 4:9-10; Genesis 6:5-7; Genesis 18:16-33; Exodus 32:10-14), and that prayer sometimes moves God to do something that he would not have done without prayer even though he KNEW he was going to do it already since he is all-knowing. And the fact that an omniscient god repentant of previous actions that eventually destroys everything in a flood because of anger is ridiculous and stupid (Genesis 6:6). This would be like feigning surprise at your surprise birthday party that you threw for yourself and then wrecking the place in a fit of anger because it turned out the way you knew it would.

Eventually, if deluded long enough, I can see them coming out with another movie: God is Not Dead 777: Oh, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Let It Be True!

Or, is there another title that you can think of?

Ah Pure flix movies, the irritating boil on the arse end of the film making industry.
All the production quality and talent of pornography with none of the honesty or entertainment value.

:-/ I have actually seen most of the movies you mention. And thought that most were good stories. Admittedly, I was very likely delusional at the time. To change the subject, the movie Noah, with Russell Crowe, was most entertaining for me...ahem, of course, because of Russell Crowe's screen presence {pardon me while I wipe away the drool}. The only thing that gave me a chuckle about the movie was that most spoke with a British accent. Sorry for the interruption, I did not mean to type all that out loud...continue on please.

The King James bible was printed with British accents ....makes perfect sense for Noah not to speak yiddish

What's even funnier is that I've had believers tell me that they didn't like the movie because the rock creatures made it fake. Really, that's the part that made it fake? AMAZING!?!

They also forget about this verse: "I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out - Luke 19:40

So, you can have shouting rocks, just not rock giants.

@GreenAtheist Agreed and appropriately so since King James being the Kind of England at the time would speak and very likely have translations written with English accents. However, Noah was not British no one was at the time. It is understood, I believe that he spoke an ancient Sumerian but more likely spoke Adamic or the language of the Garden of Eden. That is, I would imagine, until the Tower of Babel.

@Maximai since there was no Noah or Eden, Russell Crowe should have spoken Klingonese a fictional language of a future outer space race that current day idiot believers translated the King James bible into for sale at Trekkie conventions and Roswell New Mexico....the depth of religious lunacy is COSMIC

I cannot wait until Trump enters the lake of fire.

On the serious side, not many have noticed that the "messiah" is to be an earthly king with an earthly bloodline. This is provided and manipulated for Jesus just so he can be "the one" and then believers had to do something drastic once he was killed. He needed no earthly bloodline once the sky daddy impregnated Mary. A common story of a king who never came is then changed forever and we have this mess called Christianity that we have today.

the only film that ever scared me was CROSS&switchblade....ben hur disgusted me ten commandments made me wanna puke when all the fake egyptians drowned and Yul Brenner could not prEy his dead little pharaoh back to life.....I enjoyed Barbara Hershey and all her tattooed tits tempting in his mind what a crucified alleged baby gawd should do enjoying a normal life leaving the torture of bleeding hands feet and skull from thorns....nope all these fake faith films are NOT funny to Atheists I know and hoods today are drive by shooters if you happen to be in the wrong neighborhood....a bit more scary than knives or my Vietnam war.....a good title should be: WAR on xmas, Atheists win

Too long. Pleas condense into three or so paragraphs if you want to be read.
