Come Sunday Isn't An Enlightening As It Could Have Been

Going against the norm is always a risk in typical societies and that's especially true when one is trying to buck traditional theological norms. As a practicing Christian in Texas, I can tell you first hand that religious communities can be heavily wary, at best, to the prospect of new practices that upend traditional customs. Even recognizing how daunting the process is, it can be important for us as individuals to challenge the status quo, something preacher Carlton Pearson (Chiwetel Ejiofor), the main character of the new Joshua Marston directed drama Come Sunday, is very much reminded of after he causes quite the stir in declaring that Hell does not exist in one of his Sunday morning sermons.

God's Not Dead 2 Review

And so, the day has come, when the single most anticipated sequel since The Land Before Time XIV would arrive onto the populace to spread "wisdom" and "harmony".  Yes, folks, God's Not Dead 2 has been bestowed upon us all. In this second chapter of the God's Not Dead saga, Grace Wesley (Melissa Joan Hart), is a High School teacher whose Jesus Christ-related answer to a student's question ends up getting her into some hot water. More specifically, her actions end up getting her embroiled in a court case where the opposing lawyers are out to prove once and for all....that God is dead. She's gonna need the help of a kindly non-believing lawyer named Tom Endler (Jesse Metcalfe), the wisdom of God's grace and I'm gonna need even more assistance to stay awake during the two hour run-time of this cinematic fiasco.

One of 2014's Worst Movies, God's Not Dead, Condensed To Seven Minutes (From The Interwebs)

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR GOD'S NOT DEAD FOLLOW
There's few pieces of cinema this year, or really, ever, as vile and putrid as God's Not Dead. It played more like a parody of poorly done faith-based features rather than an actual attempt at creating cinema. As s Christian myself, the films relentless horrific treatment towards those of any other faith than Christianity was truly horrendous to witness. A new video has come up condensing the poor excuse for a film to just seven minutes, and you can give it a watch below.
