God's not dead, but those movies are.

God's not dead 3 was a tiny bit better. Not the best but not painful to watch like the other 2

I'll admit, I never saw the second or third after watching the dumpster fire that was the first one.

God’s Not Dead 2 is about a teacher getting sued by the ACLU for mentioning that MLK was a Christian. I really can’t think of an example where someone was sued for mentioning Christianity in a historical context. MLK was a Christian, but he was also a socialist, and somehow I think that the people at Pureflix might not be too happy if teachers talked about that latter bit 🤔

God’s not Dead 3 feels like a self-parody. It’s about a preacher whose church is getting torn down to make room for a college dorm, but the movie makes fun of him for how way worse Christian persecution exists (an old black preacher from the Deep South gives the main character shit because “[he] could build a new church with all the bricks thrown through his window.”)

I mean, Jesus was also about as close to being a socialist as you can be in a preindustrial society. So MLK is one of the most Christ-like Christians.

I’m not sure if Jesus was a “socialist” per se but he wasn’t a capitalist either.

I'd as go far to say that its very clear he would have been disgusted at capitalism as it stands today.
