Ah not this again. I've already deconstructed this pile of shite like a year ago. I remember mrdobolina asked me to check it out.
Zeitgeist was very poorly researched. Just one example: the parallels they draw between Christianity and Egyptian pantheism are just plain false if one makes even a cursory glance at the stories behind Egyptian deities. It's about as credible as Bill Maher's movie, or the Da Vinci Code (granted that's obviously fiction, but you wouldn't think it to hear all the people I've encountered who buy into the whole Gospel of Thomas theory).
- Are there credibility issues with Bill Maher's movie?Mimio
- Yes. He finds the fringe wackos, rather than the intelligent, mainline proponents of each religion.gramme
- And then he exploits their eccentricities / stupidity with leading questions.gramme
- Sure, everyone has a bias, but Maher's approach is unfair and designed to produce a pre-determined result.gramme
- You consider Francis Collins fringe? He's one of the best people your lot has.Mimio
- Not familiar with Collins.gramme
- http://en.wikipedia.…)Mimio
- I wish Maher had interviewed Ravi Zacharias at any rate.gramme
- Would've been a walk in the park for Z.gramme
