This Flick speaks truth! At the end of the day it's more important what God thinks rather than what people think. Every human is going to stand before The Most High at the time of judgement whether they believe or not, no one is going to stand in front of a person, we'll all stand before The Lord, what HE says and thinks is what is important.
shareGlad to see Christians taking back their message board.
shareRespect! Remember that 70% of IMDb users just love to complain, even on non-Christian movies, they'll go and comment on a movie that they hate, why go on that message board if you don't even like the movie? Their logic is flawed.
shareYes. The atheists are dwelling here for some reason. I wonder why? I was on the faith and spirituality board and they don't seem to talk about religion there all that much. But coming back here I'm truly amazed at the venom and snark from the militant atheists. I cannot understand how, if you are an atheist, and you don't believe in a New Heaven and a New Earth, and you think you will just die one day and disappear, that you would spend your precious moments heckling Christians.
If I felt my life was short and meaningless like an atheist, I would spend it accomplishing something. As it turns out, I think (hope and believe ī¹) my life after my death in this life, will be eternal, yet I spend my time accomplishing tons. Rescuing animals, helping children and their persecuted parents, seeking knowledge, etc.
Hope you are well Kurt. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

I think you'll find that your good buddy kurt is the most resolutely committed non-Christian, and fully opposed to Christianity as well for he does not advocate such a thing. He is also the most active member of this board. If Christian's are 'taking back' their board then they're taking it back from non-Christians such as kurt who, by his own own arsed understanding of it, is the most 'militant' poster here.
And I don't understand how you've chosen Jehovah over the great Cthulhu, but that's your choice and your mistake to spend eternity regretting. Maybe of you're lucky Odin will come to your rescue.
I've got that poster on ignore. My theory is, why come here for abuse? I'd rather just converse with people who are civil and interesting.
Alot of these atheist folks completely misread the Bible, in my opinion. Obviously, as the veil is over them. They would not have the Holy Spirit to help them get it if they keep rejecting it...they seem to keep focusing on ONE passage that Jesus preached, which was the one about loving your enemies, and use it to stab at Christians. They don't even believe what Jesus taught and are just trying to capitalize on what they consider a weakness of kindness. Truly pathetic humans do that.
But, the truth is, the Bible is pretty violent, especially where God chooses his chosen Jews to win over their enemies. He clearly wants certain views to win out and that view is codified in Commandment 1.
And the Bible is very clear on being resolute in choosing God over everyone and everything else. Which means, if atheists insult your God, you can choose to be nice to atheists (and win their approval) ī© and turn your back on God, or vehemently defend your God and insult atheists. ī§
Personally, I am not worried about the feelings of atheists who continually go to war with my beloved God. And I know you love God and therefore you have no duty to please ANY mortal man, Kurt. Please God. Not man. Defend God. Not man at war with God. Simple easy choice. I'm with you on that.
And I agree with you on the mega church thing too.

The reason why Lena is the one and only fundamentalist Christian that kurt likes.
That and..
I only know two things about Flake - he flip-flopped over extending background checks for guns and he doesn't like Trump. Out of interest, what is it you like about him?
shareI guess that I wouldn't characterize Lena as a fundamentalist, but that's up to her to define herself.
You seem a bit militant this week.
If not grumpy.
Coal in your sock from Santa?

One clear sign of militancy is when someone refers to an entire class of people as "scum", as Kurt often refers to Atheists. Have any of the non-believers here ever referred to Christians as "scum"? I know I never have, and never would.
shareBecause of your non-abrasive comments on IMDb you believe you've earned a less contemptuous title than scum?
shareI already posted dictionary definitions for you in the past cosmo.
shareHere's a definition for you:
Militant atheism, also known as: "at all making the case for atheism and/or antitheism in a frank but unapologetic manner", is a derogatory neologism called upon against any and all nonbelievers who won't just shut up about it (and is, as a result, a snarl word primarily directed against vocal New Atheists).share
The term describes any given atheist or secularist who dares profess their own views against religion or against religious influence in public life or government ruling within earshot of a religious person who has grown accustomed to never having their views challenged. The term thus denotes the enormous social faux pas one commits by not simply giving in arbitrarily to religious bullying
You are wasting your time defining things for someone when the term is only ever used as a swearword.
I'm well aware that railing does no good kurt2000
I had no delusions of convincing him, I just figured it worthwhile to post a more accurate explanation of the term.
shareYou are, in fact, an atheist.
You do meet the definition of the word 'militant', which isn't automatically an act of violence waiting to happen.
The new 'militant atheist' term by definition is acceptable to mainstream society.

You do meet the definition of the word 'militant', which isn't automatically an act of violence waiting to happen.
In your case 'militant' is when you spend time creating a self-styled definition simply to express contempt.
The rest of humanity used this definition:
milĀ·iĀ·tant
ĖmilÉd(É)nt/
adjective
1.
combative and aggressive in support of a political or social cause, and typically favoring extreme, violent, or confrontational methods.
"a militant nationalist"
synonyms: aggressive, violent, belligerent, bellicose, vigorous, forceful, active, fierce, combative, pugnacious; More
noun
1.
a militant person.
synonyms: activist, extremist, radical, young turk, zealot
"the demands of the militants"
In your case 'militant' is when you spend time creating a self-styled definition simply to express contempt
And 'militant' is not the same as 'militant atheist'
Nobody here is suggesting the violent overthrow of religion.
The word militant is the portion of the term you're having a hissy fit over again.
Nor did I suggest you or your ilk are capable of a violent overthrow of anything.
you're attempting to force your own self-styled definition of a term that isn't that complicated
your militant attitude is nothing more than a tiresome protest over jargon and religion that you have no legit control over.
is the same guy that refuses to type the word Christians
somehow believing that rehashing these arguments into 2017 with Kurt will change the results.
This is the same guy who has shown you, at least twice, with good reasons that Xian is a perfectly legitimate substitute by way of an historical abbreviation and indeed has written both forms. Are you the not-Xian guy who is not insulted and does not claim to speak on behalf of others?
I doubt that you will ever change
But that does not mean one ought not to, continually and patiently, make you face reality.
Keep it impersonal and clinical. Like studying insects. No difference.
Should I once again post my essay for what I believe is proof that God exists, starting with new evidence with the paranormal, or have you had enough of that?
Continuing to try the same argument over and over again with the same results is proof you're delusional

Not everyone takes things personally and, feeling defensive, resorts to personal insults, kurt.
Feel free kurt. It will be educational and entertaining, I am sure.
Remember what I said about irony eluding you? I do.
I forgive you.
I noticed that most people of faith ignore you.

Feel free kurt. It will be educational and entertaining, I am sure.

More new shows on the paranormal, and more outstanding EVP's are being recorded
I wonder where your disembodied soul will end up Film.
Probably haunting some college girls dorm shower somewhere.
[Irony eludes kurt] Because spending a lifetime believing that God exists is so uncommon?
muppet.
I need to know if this film is worth watching:
The Autopsy of Jane Doe
Have you seen it?
Almost 7 stars. Horror fans claim it's good.
And what did you rate this film below?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059229/?ref_=nv_sr_1
I actually saw Jane Doe just recently, a film which ends up playing with another 'haunted house' trope. I thought it was entertaining, more strong at the start, but then got a little silly towards the end. Brian Cox makes the most of a plot which places a lot of dialogue with him while he excavates a body cavity. So: worth a look, but probably not a keeper.
If you haven't seen it already, I would recommend the recent Lights Out , http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4786282/combined which, although still no masterpiece, I still found satisfying. Just keep the lights on.
I haven't seen the Fellini you mention, although I have it on my hard drive. Some really rate it.
Thank you for the film recommendations. It helps me plan my constructive investment of time.

Good for you deviates! Great to hear that you accomplish things in life in addition to posting here.
But some atheists here accomplish nothing by heckling Christians.... I do find it hard to believe they accomplish much in life if, for sport, they come to a place like this to throw jabs at Christians for sport.
Just my opinion. You're not going to change it dear. But nice to hear from you sweet pea.
Galena
I recall our conversations from some time ago well enough not to bother trying to change your mind, though I have to say it's oddly judgmental to presume those you accuse of 'heckling' haven't achieved much.
shareWell, lol ī¦ deviates, I'm human, not a robot sweetie. I think you may misunderstand the whole concept of "judgment" from the Bible. Everyone judges everyone else all day long. That's what humans do.
The Bible is referring to ultimate judgment being within the exclusive domain of God. Just because I believe these folks are not being productive in life, does not mean I purport to step into the role of our savior who decides at the end of time whether they go to the New Earth or get pitched into the lake of fire. None of us humans know for sure. Although the Bible does tell us the one unforgivable sin is rejection of the Holy Spirit and the murderers, idolaters, liars etc will go in to the fire.
But, again, some atheists misunderstand the duty of a Christian to stand there and take abuse. Jesus said in Luke 9:5 after his apostles were rebuffed in a town and were upset...
If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.Those are pretty harsh words. Jesus is basically telling his apostles to abandon folks who scoff at the word and leave them in the dust as "testimony" against them.
Isaiah 2:22
Stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils. Why hold them in esteem?

Whenever a movie speaks God's truth, it shines a powerful light. The Bible tells us darkness cannot exist where there's light. Therefore, shining a bright light on anything that lives in darkness will cause it to get stirred up.
shareLol the movie was nonsense... another christian victim persecution mentality while they try and oppress others. so sad
shareThis movie was stupid. Even worse than the first one.
The third movie was actually decent. I recommend that one.
The film was one big lie with more insane caricatures of atheists.. not surprised christians with their victim mentality ate it up
