Hello, all! Blade and Blood, here. šŸ™‚

A relative of mine recently shared a very interesting website with me–well, technically, it was for my dad, but hey! Who’s really gonna expect him to watch a documentary or two? I would! 😃

You gotta love education; you gotta love a point of view; you gotta love and admire what may be the truth.

zeitgeistmovie.com/

This website contains two documentaries–the original and the sequel–which discuss various topics. The first one is about: the ā€œJesus Mythā€, 9/11 conspiracies and the debunking of expert responses on those same conspiracies, and the term ā€œTerrorismā€.

The sequel is called ā€œAppendumā€ and since I saw it yesterday, I can only tell you the basics rather than the four parts I failed to remember. It discusses: The Monetary System and why it fails us, Religion, in general, and why it demeans us as human beings, and something called the ā€œVenus Projectā€ (?)-- I think that’s what it’s called-- and how it can make the world a better place.

Now, first and foremost, some parts of these documentaries will frighten and may even offend you-- not because of graphic images, seeing *almost *none exist in the documentaries–but because of what is covered. Plus, I think that was part of the plan. Rhetoric does an argument good. Religion, in general, and why it demeans us as human beings? Yeah, I knew you guys would trip off of that. God knows *I *did.

Second, each documentary is two hours long, so only watch them whenever you have time to spare or kill…

Third, and most importantly, if these documentaries had any impact on the way you think–good or bad, negative or postive–

Spread the word.

Seeing as I’ve asked a great deal from you in this thread, I do not expect any replies. I’d prefer if you *did not *reply to this thread, unless you’ve actually seen the documentaries or have a question.

Thank you.

Eternally Yours, Blade and Blood

I saw the movie and thought it was historically incorrect. But I am just a homeschooling mom. So my opinion might not be bothered with.:o

For myself-- The obvious problem from an academic point of view is that it stretches the truth so far to fit what it wants-- just take one bit- the Horus bit. Anyone who knows anything about Egyptology would tell you that is an enormous stretch of the facts to fit something it frankly doesn’t fit!

It’s far from academic, but it’s interesting viewing, and the religion thing doesn’t really seem to fit into the overall purpose of the movie. I got the impression the author is ticking off a wishlist of conspiracies they wish to expound upon. The main element is the 9/11 theme that comes after the seemingly superfluous comments about Christianity.

This sort of thing only serves to feeds the masses with disinformation.
 
Whenever the author of such a documentary or book has such a strong axe to grind of course he or she is going to discover all kinds of things to fit their hypothesis. If you want to believe that religion is wonderful and glorious, you will construct something which strongly supports that view (see Rodney Stark, for example), but a good academic (as Stark is) will at least attempt some level of objectivity and nonjudgement in describing and explaining phenomena. By that standard, these documentaries are just silly.
