Some Bri*ish Asshat made a movie about an American civil war to be released during an election year. I’m sure this won’t embolden the chuds at all. Everywhere online I see people say that it’s a poorly timed release I see some smug E*ropean talking about “sensitive Americans”. It’s not like film has been used to inspire reactionaries to commit political violence since it has existed or anything. Birth of a Nation? Never heard of it.

      lol this is hilarious, they should have titled it And Then Everyone Clapped

      A college student named Josh Wheaton who seeks to attain higher learning in pursuing further education, finds that his Christian faith brings him to a confrontation with his philosophy professor. The teacher named Professor Radisson, begins the class by having each student sign a document that denies the existence of God. When Josh refuses to renounce his beliefs, the professor decides that a debate between the two of them will determine his final grade. Should the entire class be convinced by Josh’s statements, he can pass the course. If the class is not moved, his academic future may be at an end.

      As Josh tries to prepare for this classroom event, various other individuals struggle with their personal stumbling blocks that seem to pull them away from their faith in Jesus Christ. With the assistance of the leader of his church, Reverend David “Dave” Hill, Josh prepares for the assignment. Along the way he believes there is a higher purpose to the conversation with his college professor, than merely to pass the class.

      There were three 20-minute debates in which Josh sought to bring historical and scientific content to prove the existence of God, while the professor tried to prove the non-existence of God. The students became aware of facts they were not familiar with, and some had never heard of before. At the end of the debates, Josh and the professor were surprised by the reaction of the students. All the students stood up and affirmed that God is not dead.
