God is good all the time; all the time, God is good! Question what happens to you when you die? I believe that I want to be with God! Many of the most intelligent, scientific atheists have tried to prove Jesus did not die and was resurrected, and now they love JEsus and are believers... yay God!!!

My previous review mentioned that Corbin Bernsen's name was spelled wrong in the opening credits. For that I gave the movie a one star review, but admitted I hadn't finished watching it. Well, now I have.I'm giving it 7 stars to bring my average rating up a bit (I figure that makes it somewhere around 4), because the movie wasn't a total waste of time. It's still unforgivable that one of the stars of the film got his name misspelled in the credits, but there is some value in sticking it out to the end. Yes, it's unoriginal, a bit bland, and the utterly predictable ending arrives suddenly, and is completely unbelievable and not a little eye-rolling. But the acting was above average for this kind of film, and it does serve to remind Christians that, even in a society supposedly founded on biblical principles, it is fast becoming a toxic environment and it now requires an act of courage to publicly admit to their beliefs.Of course not all atheists behave as some of them did in this movie, but you don't have to look far to find ones who do. Christian bashing has become acceptable and even something of a sport. I find it interesting that most of the worst reviews were written by atheists who strongly objected to the portrayal of fellow nonbelievers. They are right to assure us that not all atheists act like hot headed cavemen, but it does make me wonder why so many avowed atheists are even watching such a film as this. What do they expect to get out of it?And that's the thing that makes this film ultimately fail, as do most Christian themed films, unfortunately. They are forever preaching to the choir, and no one ever seems to find the budget - or the chutzpah - to make the kind of unexpected, challenging, eye opening film that really makes thoughtful, questioning, open minded people sit up and take notice. These films are like Christian rock music - too timid and too frightened of giving offense to make themselves in any way memorable. It's too bad.But if you like vanilla movies like this and are part of the choir that likes to be preached to, I can at least say that I've given up on countless yawnfest movies of this genre, and this one I was actually able to watch to the end.

All atheists are evil, mean spirited jerks! Christians are being persecuted! Obviously whoever wrote this doesn't know any atheists, or at least doesn't understand the argument for keeping religion out of school. This movie is grasping at straws to make atheists look bad, but it is so preposterous...attempted murder at one point!? Cmon. Let me put it this way, as an Atheist I would side with Stephen Baldwin's character in this film. I would defend him and support him. Because we're fine with you having a moment of silence for your dead wife. We're fine with an extracurricular club that is optional. We would not order our children to not date the children of Christians. We would not insult a man's dead wife. We would not tolerate our children vandalizing public or private property. I would not tell my kid he can't read the Bible, if for no other reason he should know why his mom and dad don't agree with the inconsistencies and supposed truths inside. We would not pick street fights with christians. The movie itself is bland. Baldwin is monotone, the evil characters are two dimensional. Corbin Bernson is okay for the most part. And who designed the logo of the Gods Club. The thumb on the hand is upside down! Did a kid design it? The plot is predictable and the writing is just bad. I've seen a few Christian movies and this was definitely the most boring.

Absolute fictitious depiction of atheists. All of the atheists I know, are secular humanists and very caring people. Religion is for church, etc. not for school. School is for education
education of facts, not of ancient mythology, unless a student is in mythology class. A "moment of silence" is not "prayer" or even religious, in any way. The scenario fabricated in this movie has never happened and never will. Learn the law and the constitution of the US and you will understand how everything about this movie was simply wrong! The strawman depiction of atheists is beyond ridiculous! Horrible awful movie
poorly done with terrible acting (if you can call it that).
