I had the dubious privilege of previewing the second installment of the God’s Not Dead franchise last night in Pearl, Mississippi, and I decided to live tweet my way through the experience. I’m including those tweets here in case you’d like to witness the experience unfolding as I experienced it myself.
My full review of the movie is here: “Persecute Me, Please: God’s Not Dead 2 and the Evangelical Lust for Victimhood.”
I would warn you that this series of tweets brings a number of spoilers, except whom am I kidding? Movies like this follow such a predictable formula that you can practically write out the dialogue before the movie even begins. At best they may throw you a single curve ball, but for the most part it follows a remarkably dependable pattern.
The great thing about live tweeting through a viewing of #GodsNotDead2 is that you can’t spoil it. It’s already completely predictable.

Catching a premiere of #GodsNotDead2 tonight. Gonna live tweet my way through it. Should be interesting.

Just saw a commercial for Dinesh D’Souza movie in the trailers before #GodsNotDead2 That’s gotta be a winner.

Watching #GodsNotDead2 and four minutes into it I’m just floored that Pat Boone’s Not Dead.

One of the main characters in #GodsNotDead2 is always sad and has out-of-touch parents who neglect her. Must be atheists.
Yep. I was right.

So far in #GodsNotDead2 all the attractive people are Christians and the evil people are not. I predict the one exception will convert.

The school board’s lawyer in #GodsNotDead2 has messy hair, baggy eyes, he slouches, and he’s heartless. I’m guessing another atheist.

ACLU representative just showed up in #GodsNotDead2 and sinister theme music sounded. “We’re gonna prove once and for all that God is dead!”

Ernie Hudson just showed up in #GodsNotDead2 and all I can think is: pic.twitter.com/vvs8kjF2fG

Evil ACLU guy in #GodsNotDead2 says “I HATE what people like your client stands for.”
Funny, I was sure the ACLU protects Christians, too.
— Neil Carter (@godlessindixie) April 1, 2016
Interesting. The moment the ACLU lawyer in #GodsNotDead2 said the phrase “separation of church and state” the evil music sounded again.

In the 1st film the abusive dad’s Arabic. In #GodsNotDead2 he’s Chinese. If it weren’t for stereotypes this movie wouldn’t have characters.

Kill me now. Lee Strobel just got called as a witness in #GodsNotDead2 pic.twitter.com/RImgGY4SYi
— Neil Carter (@godlessindixie) April 1, 2016
For real though, when they called Lee Strobel onto the witness stand, I fell into a giggle fit that made the people around me stare. The absurdity of the moment overtook me.
Now the author of Cold Case Christianity, another converted atheist, is on the witness stand in #GodsNotDead2 pic.twitter.com/vaGZUq3ztz

Mercy. Now in #GodsNotDead2 they’re singing How Great Thou Art. People in Rankin County are going to be on their feet.
— Neil Carter (@godlessindixie) April 1, 2016
Aaaaand now Mike Huckabee makes an appearance in #GodsNotDead2 of course. pic.twitter.com/mOnlPKmrXT
— Neil Carter (@godlessindixie) April 1, 2016
And of course #GodsNotDead2 ends with a Newsboys concert, and a song about persecution, which is the real theme of the film.
— Neil Carter (@godlessindixie) April 1, 2016
I’ve never seen a movie work as hard as #GodsNotDead2 to link Martin Luther King and Jesus. I’m not even sure which one got referenced more.
— Neil Carter (@godlessindixie) April 1, 2016
***Spoiler Alert*** After the credits you get to see the pastor arrested for not surrendering his sermon notes. pic.twitter.com/vhmtFRLxax

In the final shot after the credits of #GodsNotDead2 I half expected David White to turn around & say “Jesus, man!” pic.twitter.com/DjH2VSaDTm
— Neil Carter (@godlessindixie) April 1, 2016
When he turned around for the final shot of the film, I half expected him to pump his fist and say, “Jesus, man!”

And finally, there were plenty of things I could have relayed about the odd gentleman sitting behind me throughout the movie, but this one comment should give you a sample of the overall cut of his jib.
Guy behind me in #GodsNotDead2 last night said he’s gonna take his pickup and an aircraft cable & tear down that $100M mosque in Maryland.
