It was directed by Tom Sokalski. His short films are quite good and very well shot. Anyway personally this is the best and most intriguing short film I have ever seen, watch it and share your thoughts and opinions. The guy who plays the devil is a really talented actor.

The song when the credits roll is Nirvana - Lake of Fire.

None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who fasely believe they are free.

Was an okay video. Didn't really introduce anything that hasn't already been beaten to death, though.

1. Is this supposed to be Christian? if so why the language?

2. If it is Christian, it is typical of the horrific theology common in the modern visible church.

3. From an atheistic perspective, I saw nothing that might change someone's mind. Actually, mosts modern atheists should be able to rip it to shreds.

I didn't thik he was a good actor at all and the video wasn't very original either.

I love how none of the questions posed by the movie were fully addressed.

I also love that the moral is to not be freethinker or else you'll go to hell, which the video offered no evidence for.

How is pointing out the obvious flaws in the vid being an ahole? Assuming of course it is from some kind of Christian perspective. The vid is shallow. Period. Well done production wise. But shallow.

That revealed your intelligence. Check out my sig. I'm not an atheist. I'm Christian of a reformed perspective. I also have a youtube channel dedicated to presuppositional apologetics and reformed theology. Typing before thinking never results in a good outcome.

I disagree but get your point. See number two in my original criticism. Very little of that video was historically Christian in its theology. And here is one example of how an atheist could own that video'ss incredibly shallow theology,

Hitchens on free will Christianity

Let me add, the view espoused by that speaker at the beginning IS NOT historic Christianity. It is popular today but has only been around about 150 years if that. It is basically something new.

i really don't care. from my point of view. religions are constantly changing, it's not my perogative to keep track of what version of a religion is the "real one" and which one isn't. it's the old No true Scotsman argument. its irrelevant to me.

This is fail. Why is god depicted as the Christian god?

It's one thing to debate the existence of a god, but once you bring in a specific god, you're not just saying god exists, you're saying "god exists and you know him"

To an atheist, you need to prove why all other gods are false, before you claim yours is true.

Well, if you are going to assume a God exists, the Christian one has the most developed philosophical and theological tradition behind it. Obviously for atheists the first big leap is going to be belief in the supernatural.

a tradition that started in ancient egypt before christianity even began!

the religion that i would believe in (and you'd know this if you could understand the mindset of a skeptic) is the one with sufficiant evidence to support it. period.

the more extraordinary the claim the more extraordinary the evidence needs to be.

Tradition, influence, size, quantity, none of that matters if it's core foundation centers on one logical fallacy: The bible is the word of a god.

To an Atheist, Christianity is no more credible than Lord of the rings.

Nah, keep it. Or if you want you can use mine; the colours look more vivid in mine. I've been thinking of changing avatar for some time.
