The main point of the movie is that (spoilers?) it's your own choice whether or not to believe in God, which I agree with.

The premise of the movie is that an atheist professor makes his students deny the existence of God as part of the class.

That may not happen in real life, but the idea of freedom of thought being stifled in college classes is real. You have to say what the professor wants to hear to get a good grade.

Sounds like you're happy that the movie confirmed your stupid preposition rather than challenge it so you're giving it a good grade.

More like God is a petty assassin. Did the professor really need to get hit by a car after he conceded to one of his students? The very student who somehow managed to settle a debate famous thinkers have argued about for thousands of year?

I saw it for one reason:

Because I havent seen Kevin Sorbo act since Hercules (he was hands down the best Hercules ever).

Honestly, the movie made some very intelligent arguments both for and AGAINST Christianity being true.

Christ follower here.

- Horrid acting by 80% of the cast
- They tried to feed off of Duck Dynasty's success, which is awful in its own redneck way
- lol Duck Dynasty
- Apparently everyone that isn't a Christian is morally blind and speaks ill of all Christians. The world is black and white.
- Panders to uneducated watchers. Even the breaking point, when the main kid stumps the professor in the final debate, he uses an appeal to emotion to win the argument. That may make sense in the movie universe, but that's a clear fallacy.
- Bonus: it started the wave of horrible "Christian" movies for years to come (not all tho)

We may have agency over parts of the process, but belief is not a choice. What we describe as choosing to believe or not to believe something is merely the recognition of our current state of belief.

There is nothing profound in that scene.

can you give me an example of something that is profound?

When you're listening to Tool, just remember that they're not like other bands. Their music is incredibly artistic, almost to the point where you have to be paying complete attention to them to even remotely understand them. I remember listening to a song on Lateralus (though I can't remember what it was), where I thought a song was absolute bollocks during the listen. Then, I closed my eyes for a second, and all of a sudden the song had an entirely new meaning. It was insane the way Tool could just become something so different when you take a look into the music.

Another thing you should note about Tool is that it's easy to get a headache listening to them. Not because they're a bad band, but because of how many ideas their music is riddled with and how complex they are. Soon enough your head will fill to the brim and the rest will just sound like noise to you. Just turn it off and give it a listen the next day.

If you don't like the music, you'll definitely at least enjoy reading through the lyrics, and picking apart the song itself and all of the artistic values that go into making it the complexity that it is.

He voice acted none other than Hercules in God of War 3. I found that interesting.

Funny thing, the only good thing about the film was Kevin Sorbo playing Prof Strawman. Well at least it was better than God's Not Dead 2 starring Sabrina the Teenage witch, which is a VERY low bar to surpass.
