Part 1 deals with Christian religion, telling us it is fake, and that Jesus never existed. Well who cares whether Jesus never existed. Christian religion had profound positive effects on the development of western civilization. Where in other parts of the world people with different religion slaughter each other, consider women second class citizens, and kill in the name of God, we have values deeply rooted by our religion into us. Our connection to Christianity is so deep that most of us still retain our values even though we are not religious. Christianity in this sense is real and a great success story. We are a living testament to that. It is absolutely not important whether Jesus ever lived, whether he died, and whether he was resurrected.

Christianity, along with all other theistic belief systems, is the fraud of the age. It serves to detach the species from the natural world, and likewise, each other. It supports blind submission to authority. It reduces human responsibility to the effect that "God" controls everything, and in turn awful crimes can be justified in the name of Divine Pursuit. And most importantly, it empowers those who know the truth but use the myth to manipulate and control societies. The religious myth is the most powerful device ever created, and serves as the psychological soil upon which other myths can flourish

I'm sure we can all just leave it at the judgement that this movie is BS.

What makes you so sure? Is it your own intuition? Or is it that your conditioning has made it so that you accept such matters without question? I don't know about the rest of you but personally, I believe this movie spells out the truth, and those who question it do so only because they have been blinded by that which is meant to cloud your judgement. IIRC, there is a quote that goes something like: "That which can be accepted without proof can also be dismissed without proof." In which case, you have to ask yourself, which is the more likely scenario: that there is an all-powerful god that watches over us, or that some smart people realized that they can exploit the general population through fear. I won't judge anyone who disagree's but personally, evidence or not, the arguments made in Zeitgeist ring far truer than anything I learned in religion class.

whatever you believe, you can not deny the fact that watching the movie makes you think and there's a lot of eye opening facts in this movie

Being open minded is good, just don't be so open minded your brain falls out. I though zeitgeist was pretty bad =/.

What the heck does that mean. I don't mean to bash a newbie, but that phrase makes no sense. There is nothing wrong with being open-minded. Its just a meme that extremely close-minded people started to justify their close-mindedness. And people use open and close-minded wrong. Some people call one close-minded for not believing what they believe, and some people use open-minded as a pejorative to indicate they think you'll believe anything.

Far too much ego, and not enough consideration of others and their feelings.

XD well my ego is big I'll give you that, and perhaps the phrase is a little ambiguous. However this is what I meant.

Consider the following - someone tries to tell you that the earth is not a sphere and is in fact flat.
Are you telling me that "meme" deserves equal attention?, that i should believe it so i don't hurt someones feelings?
Should i be open minded about the stork theory of child birth? And the so called facts in Zeitgeist is just as ridiculous.

You don't have to believe it. But that is not being open-minded. Thats just being gullible. There is a huge difference between the two terms. Use them properly. Being open-minded is the ability to evaluate new facts and claims on their own basis, without letting emotion guide you to an answer without analysis. Open-minded means the ability to change your mind, when presented persuasive evidence, and only when presented proper evidence.

Every place that has been hailed as a victory for free markets is not. Argentina, its unemployment rate soared to 30%! It was only after Pinochet aggressively nationalized the banks, the infrastructure, the mines, that the economy stabilized and began to actually employ people. But the damage was done. The middle class was wiped out, and Argentina today still has one of the largest divides between the rich and the poor. Look at whats happening now in the US.
