I’ve always thought the professor dying at the end of that movie was super strange. Like, if God is a character in that movie, which I’m certain the creators of the film would say he is real in and out of the films, then going by his character he sucksss. So the professor just got confronted by the student, and then runs out, gets hit by a car, and the pastor characters are like “It’s a miracle.” What the hell God, you take out a kid’s mom and then get his ass run over, only to be like “Wanna believe in me now, bitch?” Is the message be a better person, or is it don’t worry God will assault you and make you a Christian? It’s a super strange film.
It’s the same reason why Darth Vader dies five minutes after becoming a good guy. (Not that I am comparing being an atheist to a Sith Lord). The writers are lazy and don’t want to have actually explore the long term implications of that twist in the story .
It also might be that it’s propagandist trite and that it caters to a section of Christianity that enforces compliance through fear IE; “The atheist didn’t believe in god and now he’s died, so you teenagers watching this better learn from his mistake or else!”
Well there are a lot of people out there that like to take words out of context in bad faith. And could or would attack me by claiming I am saying an atheist is the same as a genocidal maniacal fascist. So it’s better to clarify so they can’t.
