I could on sight. Take a bit of first aid. Internal bleeding is un-treatable anyway outside of a hospital.

Being hit by a car, he must also have been in shock, making his heart beat faster, making him die faster.

So you could on sight tell that someone had internal bleeding so bad that there was no purpose in giving first aid?

Yup. Better have it internal. Christian film. Don't let the childrenz see all the bloodz.

Also Blitz please tell me how you diagnose an internal issue on sight without talking to the person? I'm willing to say you could guess that he has internal bleeding but in the movie the African pastor just says oh he has internal bleeding and will die immediately and there's no way to know that. It's done just so the pastors can "legitimately" refuse medical service in favor of proselytizing.

I knew it was internal bleeding when I saw how the car hit him. He might even have had a broken back from his fall. First aid is highly limited. If I can't do anything, I am going to witness to them if they might not survive.

But how do you tell?

Bruising. Bruising tell you their is internal bleeding.

So bruising always equals untreatable near instantly fatal internal bleeding? Also they did see bruising in the movie, they did open his shirt. The African pastor just touched him and knew somehow.

Swelling also occurs. I am not a master of first aid. Their are a few other things. He could have broken his neck and when that happens you cannot help a person. Moving them or attempting anything would kill them. Also, he probably had something wrong with his lungs, maybe punctured by a rib.

The overall point is that the pastors didn't care at all about him medically. One of them yelled "call an ambulance" to no one in particular, made a two second diagnosis that could have been completely incorrect, and then they proceeded to ignore his medical needs. From what I remember, they didn't even check to see if someone had actually called an ambulance. It's true that moving him would have probably caused more damage, but they could have at least tried to keep his neck/head still, actually checked for bleeding/major wounds, and gotten something to keep the rain off of him and keep him warm.

GUESS WHAT! The peepz are making a second God's Not Dead!! Everyone celebrate! Yay! ... -_-

Technically it isn't a second God's Not Dead. I think they already released it even.

If you mean Do You Believe, that's a whole different thing. They are indeed making God's Not Dead 2. Whoopy. The first was nice but does it warrant a sequel? What will they do, challenge Josh's faith again and go through the exact same character arc/story-line?

As has been said in the chat several times, couldn't possibly be any worse.
