UNSTOPPABLE Review

Many times I don't like to accept being labeled as a "Christian" simply because of all the stipulations that surround the word and the assumptions people make about me, my character and my stance on certain issues. That being said, I was raised Catholic though I assume many Protestants might find it hard to believe Catholics consider themselves Christians and not simply as Catholics, but believe it or not this is true for most Catholics. I continue to practice that faith though I won't go without saying it hasn't been tough. I have so many questions that come up consistently and lead to other questions. I find it interesting to learn as much as I can about the basis of the Christian church so that I have a good pool of knowledge to pull from when discussions concerning faith and the existence of God come up. Unstoppable was not going to be a discussion or a debate on whether there was a God or not, but instead was attempting to answer a question that makes perfect sense to ask when you've been bombarded with "Jesus Loves You" your entire life and that is: Why does God let bad things happen to good people? The simple answer for a casual believer in God may be something along the lines of, "how can we grieve when God is in control of every situation?" For me, in that regard though, it would almost seem that anyone who considered themselves devout in the faith would have to feel somewhat celebratory at the death of a person who they knew also believed in God for despite the fact they wouldn't see them anymore they knew they were now joining God in heaven. To be completely up front I've heard that sentiment a thousand times from regular church-goers, but as a way of comforting those who'd just lost someone close. Still, it never seemed to truly help and more than anything I felt it would genuinely cause people to react more negatively to God and begin asking the same question Kirk Cameron poses as the basis of his new film.
