Love the name!

Zeitgeist movie is awesome (at least the 1st section). I didn't think much of the conspiracy theory bit and the thing about "how to cheat your taxes".

CoxRox, if you do watch it, start at 8:54 minutes in (it has a stupidly long introduction where a boring preacher talks and then some scenes of war). Has no relation to the actual video. Just make sure you stop watching when it gets to the 9/11 bit, or you might have to watch the conspiracy idiots at their best.

I will gladly watch this. I'll let you know what I think.........Big Grin

I'll take your advice Adrian.
Hi guys, I'm 18 minutes into it and have had to pause it to check out the Horus claims. I've come across this site whose author seems to have checked these claims out pretty thoroughly.

http://www.kingdavid8.com/Copycat/JesusHorus.html

At the bottom of the page they note:

'By the way, I had a discussion about this list with Acharya S, the author of the book "The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold". To view a text of our discussion, go to this site. ' (There is a link to view their discussion.)

I'll look further into this. Have either of you two gentlemen 'tested' these copy cat claims for yourselves?

Welcome ,Ihatejesus. Glad to know there is another thinker joining us!

Welcome aboard!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Hello Ihatejesus. Welcome to the forum

I don't hate anyone, and certainly not someone who may not even have existed.
Best regards,
