ZEITGEIST: The Movie
The same old slander revamped for the digital age.
This essay is written to point out and explain all of the falsehoods in Zeitgeist: The Movie, part 1. We will investigate the alleged similarities between Jesus and other deities which leave critics speculating aspects of Jesus’ life were borrowed from other figures of antiquity. After examining the actual texts of thereligions in question most similarities will be found to not even exist and to have been fabricated by authors who prey upon the reader’s ignorance of foreign religions.
This is not to say that the various institutions of Christianity, and all religions, have not been corrupted over the years. Indeed, Protestantism was formed because of corruption in the Church, and several aspects of it persisttoday because of corruption in their televised leaders. These institutions have lost their path from the original teachings of Jesus as they are known for their constant infighting and disagreements. The Roman Catholic Church however, while known for its persistent teaching of morals, virtue, and atonement, is in the same boat in many ways. High members of the Church have the horrible stain ofchild abuse for which not enough has been done. This is a clear sign of the workings of Satan in the Church, but do not be fooled into thinking this is a problem only in the Catholic Church. It is everywhere. What is important is the purity of the message of Jesus.
Christ says clearly that many not in the grace and friendship of God will belong to His Church. He likened that Church to a netholding good and bad fish (Matt. XIII, 47-48.) The net was to be quite good, but there would be bad fish within it. It was to be as a field with cockle and wheat growing side by side (XIII, 24-30.) It is clear that though it be an institution founded by Christ, it will not be without the weakness of man. The survival and continued growth of The Church, however, is clear testament to its divinity. InThe Church, as in all things, we are the ones who must live to proper moral standards, and it is only a sign of the times that such corruption has gotten so deep. Despite this, the message of Jesus remains unchanged.
As mentioned in the introduction to Zeitgeist: The Movie,
“The more you being to investigate… the more you being to see we’ve been lied to.”
Don’t look at the face of the lieand accept it, the lie is there to keep you from learning the truth. The truth of the message of The Church.
It’s also important to note that while the author wrote the introduction from a biased standpoint, he did his utmost to write the essence of the paper from an objective standpoint.
During the course of research for this paper, the writer spent several months in libraries, both digitaland public, cross referencing everything he could find to look into the claims of both sides of the argument. In the course of events I found that not only are none of the arguments brought forth in Zeitgeist: The Movie new, but that they had all been debunked several times over and, just as the 9/11 myths cannot stand up to scrutiny, neither can the claims in Zeitgeist: The Movie part 1. I owe abig debt of gratitude to the extraordinary research and documentation done by the people at http://www.thedevineevidence.com/jesus_similarities.html, the bulk of whose work is quoted directly in this essay.
An important thing to note when debunking the claims of Zeitgeist: The Movie, is that very few, if any, of his sources are original texts.
The first deity the movie attempts to compareto Jesus is Horus. From the movie transcript at http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/transcript.htm we find the following claims.
“Broadly speaking, the story of Horus is as follows: Horus was born on December 25th of the virgin Isis-Meri. His birth was accompanied by a star in the east, which in turn, three kings followed to locate and adorn the new-born savior. At the age of 12, he was a prodigal...
