My Dad and I decided to watch this to see exactly how bad it was[edit]

It is actually hilariously bad, it was full of offensive stereotypes and even starred that duck dynasty guy.

Our commentary, if it were recorded would have def been worthy of an MST style video -Akiyama Yuu

Rule 34[edit]

I think the reason there isn't a porn parody of this film is that the film IS porn. Think about it; nudity and sex are illegal to see, so you end up with kinky crap like this for evangelicals to wank to. Now just watch the film imagining the director had a boner the whole time. Anyone who want to add the humor to the article? StickySock (talk) 14:56, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Kevin Sorbo[edit]

Kevin Sorbo redirects to this page, but he isn`t even mentioned here, despite playing the main antagonist. What gives?188.85.43.128 (talk) 17:07, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

God's Not Dead 2[edit]

Hello everyone! I just created the page for the sequel, God's Not Dead 2. I was wondering if we can delete the information for the sequel on this page since it is now unnecessary. TB100 (talk) 22:31, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Problem with a reference[edit]

From the article:

The movie claims to be inspired by the "real-life court cases" of the Christian legal group "Alliance Defending Freedom". The credits of the movie include a list of several of the ADF's cases. Few of the ADF's cases are clear-cut, and none of them involve a professor violating a student's religious belief. Instead, there's a case of the ADF getting sexual harassment charges against a librarian dropped by threatening counter-action, and a fair number of cases involving students getting in trouble for discriminating against non-Christian students in their Christian clubs.[1]

This is interesting since the reference goes to Russell Wolfe, CEO and Managing Partner of Pure Flix Entertainment, the company that released the movie. So I understand that if the reference indeed supported that - contrary to the claims - few of the ADF's cases are clear-cut, and none of them involve a professor violating a student's religious belief; instead, there's a case of the ADF getting sexual harassment charges against a librarian dropped by threatening counter-action, and a fair number of cases involving students getting in trouble for discriminating against non-Christian students in their Christian clubs. then it would be a pretty darn strong reference.

But the reference doesn't seem to support this! All I found in the referenced interview about the topic:

The inspiration behind the setting of the movie dates back a few years ago. I was in a meeting at Pinnacle Forum and Alan Sears from Alliance Defending Freedom, was speaking. He was speaking about a young girl who was asked to do some things that went against her faith and got in trouble for not doing them. That story put my jaw on the floor and made me think about how many students go to college as a Christian and how few stay a Christian after they finish their four years. It was that story that inspired me to set the movie on a college campus.

That is, aside from Disqus comments below the interview which I did not read.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy[edit]

What is the precise reference from the above series this always reminds me of - a character is being dead for a year for tax purposes? Anna Livia (talk) 22:11, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Is this it?

Hotblack Desiato is a humanoid and front man for the band Disaster Area. He was incredibly rich, occasionally buying star systems, and once spent a year dead for tax reasons. He was also a long-time acquaintance (possibly even friend) of Ford Prefect, the two having hung out together before he made it big.
