Philosophy
A Reflection Paper
“God’s not Dead”
The story of a college freshmen and earnest Christian, Josh Wheaton, finds his faith tested and challenged on the first day of his Philosophy class by the strict, atheist and confrontational Professor namely Professor Radisson. Radisson starts his class by keeping and telling his students that they will need to renounce in a sheet of paper, the existence of God, or else they get a failing grade. When Josh’s fellow student begins writing the words “God is Dead” on a piece of paper. Josh found himself in confusion for having to choose between his faith and his future life. He refused to obey the instruction causing the annoyance of his professor. Radisson gave him a disheartening task. If Josh will not admit and write that “God Is Dead,” he must prove God’s existence by presenting well scholarly, academic arguments and proof for the benefit of the course. Moreover, he’ll have a one-on-one discussion in front of the class. Auspiciously, he was able to defend his belief against his atheist professor.
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase”. Truly the movie “God’s Not Dead” awakened me as a Christian. That it takes fervent heart and passionate faith to really fight for what you believe. Josh is a great example for this. He stand to his belief and prove to everyone the existence of God. He sacrificed and took a risk of losing his loved ones and his future life not because he wants to but because he knows what he’s doing. His faith is indeed consistent and immeasurable. Josh’s stand to his faith and belief is somehow analogous in standing up for your best friend. You don’t want someone to trouble him nor someone dismay him. You don’t want to happen this because you care and love him. You’ll do everything to protect him and to make him happy.
Truly, this movie taught me that “Faith takes God
