What’s up with this “Zeitgeist” crap?
Every second larda** college-aged know-it-all I encounter gushes about this super-secret, high-explosive “Zeitgeist” troofer, conspiracy bull.
The more that the hate of Christians is institutionalized, the more that they paint the floor into the corner of the room.
IMHO
That should be easy to see through -- for anyone who is well grounded in scripture.
Wow. Is Christianity really so fragile?

Interesting little test I just got in the email, Rolls in nicely with your subject.
Everything I know about God, the Bible, and anti-Christs’
I learned from movies.........
Please note: Anyone who is against Christ is anti-Christ.
There have been, are, and will be many.
But is you are a Christian, and read your Bible, you know that.
Deception is part of the plan. And the sheeple are very easy to deceive.
>> destroying the faith of believers
If a movie that you know was made by secular haters of Christ can destroy your faith, it’s pretty weak to begin with.
Jesus said, “Upon this rock I will build my church, and THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT”.
Paul said, “For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I’ve committed unto him against that day”.
I believe in, and trust, Jesus and I’m in agreement with Paul.
In Greek myth, Dionysus was conceived of human Semele and the god Zeus in the usual way of intercourse. Zeus’s wife Hera, being jealous, tricked Semele into extracting a promise from Zeus to reveal to her all his glory, which burned Semele into a heap of ashes. Zeus took immortal Dionysus out of the heap and sewed him under the skin of his thigh until he was ready to be born. No virgin birth there.
Look up Horus and Mithra in Wikipedia and you will not find the Christ-resembling elements that Peter Joseph attributes to them mentioned - hence not important or consistent parts of their myths, if there is any accuracy to them at all.
C.S. Lewis noted and answered the pagan foreshadowings and echoes of Christ many years ago.
Virgin births in mythology are the norm, not the exception, and Jesus is not the first deity to have his birth celebrated on December 25th. Pointing out inconsistencies in the Bible and with Christian tradition has been going on for centuries.
I think young moderate Christians growing up in the age of Trutherism might find this interesting. They'll think they're on to something that no one else knows about, which is indicative of a culture rife with conspiracy theories.
But I doubt anyone outside that niche will care.
Behold, I have told you in advance."
Matt. 24
ah hahahaha... I just had a look at their site and their corrosponding zeitgeist movement. One could transpose their faq with a Utopian, Star Trek, toga wearing episode and not realize the difference. If anyone loses their faith over this tripe, it wasn’t really faith to begin with.
An online movie documenting the close ties
the claim of a Christian historian and author
Assumptive argumentation right there. Connotatively, the movie documents, as in tells the truth, while the Christian historian claims,as in may, or may not be true.

“The Case for the Real Jesus” by Lee Strobel.
I highly recommend it to everyone; it will give you plenty of ammo to intellectually defeat any naysayer.
I never heard of it until now.
Antichrist (pinch of poop) Ping!

You’re going to want to read the article, and responses here kiddo. ;^)
Sun god worship is no stranger to the God of Israel. Mythology has been around for a long time, imitating the promise of God. One of those gods that has received tremendous attention lately is Allah, known in earlier days as Enlil, now stripped of his daughter/wife Allat/Ninlil, and reduced to a moon god. They are everywhere, prolific over the ages and just as prolific today. The women of Israel were weeping for Tamuz. The doctrine of Baalam has plagued the Church since the beginning. It’s the same old garbage believers have always had to deal with, the same old new age stuff that won’t go away.
