"why do you hate God?"

The movie "God is not Dead" captured much of the cultural debate over why progressives claim God does not exist. Most of the key debate points were there but as always, proving matters of faith is like oil and water, they are incompatible. So the clincher was not air-tight logic, but to get the professor, which was advocating "God is Dead," to admit he hates God. The debate is over at that point and the case for existence of God is "proven" because how can someone hate something that doesn't exist.

The movie claims that many atheists in the Western world were once Christians, but God let them down. He did not manage their circumstances as they felt He should, if He is God and cares about them. While many peeps may not go as far as claiming to be atheist or to "hate God", God has lost relevancy and power because of the same reason, God hasn't delivered. So either He can't or He doesn't want to.

This is the human imperative of exchange, alive and well in our relationship with God. Social exchange was all over the movie. The boy friend of girl with cancer, the Muslim father with his daughter, the Muslim son and his father, the professor and his wife (or live in, not sure), the Christian girl friend of the student defending God, the same guy who had girl friend with cancer could not love his own mother without seeing some exchange reason to do so.

While not saying so exactly, the movie found many ways to illustrate the message of my book
