Notice from the video maker:

Zeitgeist The Movie Part 1 (part one on religion) insinuates that the story of Jesus is merely a drop in the bucket of many saviors with the same story. That they were all born on Dec 25th, crucified, ressurected etc...

I found it SHOCKING! Sooooo shocking that I spent a month and a half of my life researching the valididty of the claims and this is what I found. I want to extend a personal thank you to my friend Drakul from the David Icke forums, for lighting the spark.

References by request from my friend ecstatica23: Note: I may add to this list as Im positive Ive left something out

Dr. Norman Geisler writes, "The first real parallel of a dying and rising god does not appear until A.D. 150, more than a hundred years after the origin of Christianity.

Dr. Gary Habermas and Dr. J.P. Moreland write, "Not one clear case of any alleged resurrection teaching appears in any pagan text before the late second century A.D., almost one hundred years after the New Testament was written."

Charlie Campbell says, "To insist that Jesus Christ is a myth - that He never existed - as the Zeitgeist movie does, is foolish. Beside the twenty seven New Testament documents that verify He lived, there are thirty nine sources outside of the Bible, written within 150 years of Jesus life that mention Him. These sources include the Jewish Talmud, the Roman historian Tacitus, the Didache, Flavius Josephus, Pliny the Younger, Suetonius, the Gnostic gospels (e.g., the gospel of Thomas), etc. These extrabiblical sources reveal to us more than 100 facts about His life, teaching, death and even resurrection."

Before I move on here are the links to various debunkings of the "Christ myth" Here is a great look at the ridiculous claims of most of the authors on that list (how they get away with this stuff is beyond rational thought)This movie also tries to make the claim that the Catholic churches pagan ideals, symbolism ,and rituals are somehow proof that Christianity itself is a part of this, nothing could be further from the truth.

Lets take December 25th mentioned at least a dozen times in the film. The date of December 25th, which was officially proclaimed by the church fathers in A.D. 440, was actually a vestige of the Roman holiday of Saturnalia, observed near the winter solstice, which itself was among the many pagan traditions inherited from the earlier Babylonian priesthood. Any person that doesn't drool on themselves will tell you that nowhere in the bible is this date mentioned or inferred in ANY way.

It is ludicrous to say that and pagan rituals involving this date can be linked to Christianity before the catholic church got a hold of the idea, that is, ALMOST 500 YEARS LATER. This illustrates that the Vatican has very little to do with true Christianity except for the obvious problem that they themselves always claim that they ARE Christianity.

His sources exposed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdrnEo_2QW8 must see. Zeitgeist the new "truth" movie being promoted by its makers on conspiracy message boards around the internet has been thoroughly debunked. It is disgusting to think the makers would try to sell it as a "truth movie" considering that it has dozens (over 50) easily provable factual errors.

This is a slap in the face to the people who have died and will continue to do so in this patriot movement, we would expect nothing less than 100% accuracy of any movie in the 911 truth realm. We are talking about specific false claims that have been debunked for years, yet because this is the first time its been put into a form of a movie It has new life.

This is not about a defense of a religion, it is about the integrity of information and our right not to be lied to by people claiming to be "truthers". You will notice that they don't site one single original source for the Jesus similarities they claim exist, you would think if it was true that the ancient texts showed such similarities, they would simply site these ancient texts. They don't because they do not exist.

Its quite simple, They instead offer books from authors such as Tim Leedom, Massey, Acharya, Doherty. This is laughable as a resource list if you have looked in to these claims. It's the equivalent as me referencing Glenn Beck to prove there is no 911 conspiracy. I know its hard to believe that Tsarion or Alan Watt have been quoting known disinfo in their dissemination of this idea, but look for yourself, The numerous claims made by this movie concerning Jesus's many similarities are either true or false.

A torment against the atheistic propaganda...

Next time before you arrogantly dare to ask me what my sources are, ASK ABOUT ZEITGEIST'S SOURCES! When someone is claiming that Horus, Krishna, Attis etc were similar to Jesus, HE MUST BRING SOURCES FROM ANTIQUITY THAT MENTION THESE CHARACTERISTICS!If he doesn't, then he is a LIAR!
