CMV:Christianity uses "showboating" (i.e. dramatic movies, big expressive gestures, etc.) because they can't draw people in with evidence.

When Christians get upset or "fight back" so to speak, they use dramatic movies (often misrepresenting atheists in the process), large dramatic speeches, big gestures, and what seem to be hidden fears. They get loud, puffed up, excited, and very animated.

When an atheist is upset or wants to "fight back" they are much more likely to take a keyboard and a few hours of research. They don't get as dramatic (although they can be angry or easily frustrated). They don't (seem to) make over-dramatized movies, and the movies they do make are more like an exposé. 

I think a large part of the reason for this is that in order to "draw people in" Christians have to be animated in order to make it seem interesting and they use movies to perpetuate myths about things like atheists converting on their death beds and portraying atheists as angry people, imagining fake lawsuits that would never actually happen, and showing the "power of prayer", or misleading someone about true events (remember "based on a true story" does mean it is only BASED on it and not a retelling of it). 

They say artists use lies to tell the truth, but it seems to me as though the Christian filmmakers and over animated tv pastors are just using art to tell more lies, to make Christianity look pretty and "feel good" because they are losing ground and losing followers, where as atheists are using facts and keyboards.

Of course movies are dramatic. 

The bread and butter of Christianity is the church community. If you attend a church regularly you'll likely have a small group that studies the bible and talks about how it applies to your groups life (teenagers, young adults, elderly women, etc.). Most good pastors present their message on Sunday mornings as a drill down into the text of the bible, focusing on different meanings. Pastors from one point of view will talk about Jesus as the gracious savior of humanity. Go into any given church, approach the pastor or any leader after the service and they'll sit down with you and listen to your ideas. Seminary teaches about the context the bible was written in and what the major philosophic challenges are. 


A really good church won't draw people in with stories but will have community cook outs, volunteer at soup kitchens, walk in town parades, clean up parks, offer vacation bible school for kids.  Most people don't sit in church on Sunday because of some story about a deathbed they saw on tv, they sit there because there's a community who follow a benevolent and forgiving omnipotent figure and they model their lives after that figure.
