Zeitgeist

WC, there's a full-screen button down at the bottom on the right hand side. Oh and it's nothing like Loose Change or a ty Michael Moore movie.

Or an Al Gore movie that I have not seen.

WC, there's a full-screen button down at the bottom on the right hand side.

If you have to tell someone that, then they are to stupid to understand the movie in the first place.

Oh and it's nothing like Loose Change or a ty Michael Moore movie.

If you don't like Michael Moore just say so. His movies have won many awards so don't make yourself look like some ignorant redneck by calling his films ty, just say you don't like him or his films.

Or an Al Gore movie that I have not seen.

That makes allot of sense to criticize a movie you haven't seen.
But then again reading your last post its to be expected.

Cartman says I criticized Al Gore's movie by saying I haven't seen it...........

Think about that one Carty.... Really get those synapses popping!

Mavtek, do some of your own research before advocating such things. I have read enough to know it is bull .

Tell me if these summaries are right or wrong:

The first section is en led “The Greatest Story Ever Told” and looks critically at Christian beliefs established in the Bible. It never attacks Christians themselves, but delivers a critique of the Bible as fiction over fact.

Fiction over fact? There is no evidence of that. The problem with the Bible is the 17th century translation which is totally wrong at times. I would say the Bible was translated as a political tool then. However, when you take the time to understand the original text... It cannot be proven wrong.

Jesus did exist. Their is ample evidence he did, he was not a myth. The bible is not the only references to a man called Jesus and some aspects of his life, and execution.

It is accepted that the God's did use different names in different regions. However, Jesus was not a God! He was not Horus.

Another misconception is that the Bible does not say their is only one God. At least when properly translated.

Arguments are presented that the United States was internationally warned of imposing attacks, that NORAD was purposely confused on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 and that the World Trade Center buildings were destroyed demolition-style. This section also delivers arguments that some hijackers are still alive, the Bush administration covered up details in the 9/11 Commissions’ Report and that a plane never hit the Pentagon. Most of all it attempts to show Osama Bin Laden as nothing more than an enemy image created by the media and government to perpetuate fear so that financially profitable war can be generated.

OK, I can grant an intelligent person being wrong in theology. This is unacceptable. Another 9/11 conspiracy remake...

Give me a break. Stop beating that dead horse.

The third section is led “Don’t Mind the Men behind the Curtain” and attempts to describe how the powerful bankers of the world have been conspiring for world domination and increased power. According to the do entary, the rich of society have been using their wealth to increase financial panic and foster a consolidation of independent competing banks.

That is possible. It wouldn't surprise me. However, with two starting false segments, how can I trust this is any more accurate?

I have better things to do than watch this bull .

Thanks for the link.

Olddirt the 1st part of the film is accurate, regarding religion.

If you mean "accurate" in the sense that the movie accurately outlines the parallels between Christianity and other religions, you are wrong. The movie does not reflect mainstream scholarship on the history of Christianity.

If you mean "accurate" in the sense that all religions are created to control the people, then that is false in general, given the vast number of small sparsely-followed religions which have nothing to do with the power structure of the elites, and is false specifically with regard to Christianity, which for its first three centuries was one of those sparsely-followed small religions. If you want to look into the relationship between Christianity and the workings of state, your search does not begin until the fourth century when the Roman Empire first legalized it, and eventually made it mandatory.

If you mean "accurate" in the sense that you don't believe in God, and that the film reinforces your unbelief, regardless of how badly it flubs the details, well then fine, but then the "accuracy" of the film does not extend past your own personal belief system and experience.

Any video that uses Loose Change as primary source material sucks.

[Pick of Destiny]

The truth is getting harder to swallow as it approaches.

[ChumpDumper]

What truth?

What are you guys really saying here?

[Tenacious D]

Get out of your trailer and make the two hour trip to town and rent the video.

[ChumpDumper]

I already saw it.

Why can't you answer the question?

[Tree hugger]

How many trees died making this film?
