has anyone ever seen this? Its intresting as it summarized alot of parallels in relgions and myths. I know that alot of people bash the zeitgest films for their innacuracies (i dont even want to touch the 9/11 or coorperate ones) but this one seemed to bring out some valid arguments at first glance.
what are your opinions? I have yet to do any background resarch to verify any of the facts stated. just want to hear what you guys think.

doing some cross referencing now im already finding blunders... i think alot of the points are exaggerated. The relation between jesus and horus.
sounds like a loose change thing.

It's not all bunk. It is pretty well established that Christianity ripped many of it's practices and holy dates straight from previous Pagan traditions, and astrology does have a great bearing on many world the older religions..but yeah, some of the stuff regarding the other gods was exaggerated to make christianity seem like an even bigger ripoff.
And of course, they don't even mention the one true faith..which was disappointing to pastafarians like me.

just looking at what they have been saying about horus it was almost completely if not all fabricated.
its annoying how they place minimal truth with tons of false information to try and completely simplify context.
sigh

well i knew i should have been scheptical when i saw "zeitgeist"
anyways we can continue to talk about the parallels of certain religions. Factual proven parallels in this case.
