Zeitgeist - The Greatest Story Ever Told
#6
RE: Zeitgeist - The Greatest Story Ever Told
Yest, I do realise most of their claims may be untrue and quite frankly after watching both their videos, it seems they have an agenda to follow. I too have done a little research of deities like Horus and Mithra and found the similarities are grossly exaggerated. However, similarities aside, the stuff about ages, Jesus representing the age of Pisces, the similarities between Jesus and Joseph of the Old Testament, the 12 constellations of the zodiac, the three stars in the east representing the three kings, and all the astrological myths they somehow make fit into the story of Jesus are well put and they almost make a case.

One thing I can definitely agree with Zeitgeist though is that Christianity and religions in general are bullshit, based on myths created by people of the time who did not know any better and they are no longer relevant, regardless of how they originated.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
