Perspective

*Spoiler Alert: Do not read this if you do not want
God’s Not Dead 2 spoiled for you.
I never bothered to see the first God’s Not Dead movie when
it came out. It struck me as Christian propaganda. It was
meant to warn Christians about the danger of sending their
children off to a public university where atheism rules and
Christians are the persecuted minority. I knew it wasn’t a
movie meant for me, so I ignored it.
I had already graduated from college and I knew the
reality. The dozens of Christian-affiliated student groups on
campus outnumbered our one secular group, which consisted of
between five and fifteen members depending on the year. We had
numerous posters and signs torn down and destroyed. My school
employed a young earth creationist to teach in its science
department (chemistry) and even my biology professor was a
Christian; I know because she made sure to tell us. Though she
also explained that she was able to reconcile evolution with
her Christian faith, lucky us.
