I recently watched the highly controversial movie, Zeitgeist, and was fascinated by some of the claims it made. The film is divided into three parts covering Christianity, 9/11, and secret societies of international bankers. The glue that holds these three seemingly unrelated topics together is the suggestion that people are manipulated by an elite few.
I was particularly interested in Part 1: The Greatest Story Ever Told, which implies that Jesus Christ is no more real than Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy. When I was young, I went to a Roman Catholic primary school, went to church every Sunday, captained the church football team and was even an altar boy. Of course, by the time I got to secondary school I was more interested in other things and forgot about my religious upbringing. In fact, I studied scientfic subjects through college and university, leaving me with very little belief at all in the existence of a god. On the other hand, I respect that many people do hold such beliefs.
Here is the first part of ZeiGeist, The Movie. It’s 26 minutes long, so you might want to make a cup of tea before you watch it. I’ll let you watch it and draw your own conclusions, but you might like to follow it up by reading this review of the movie and the long debate that follows in the comments. Personally, regardless of your position, I think you have to at least watch this video.
