paradoxSo, my 23-year-old brother saw Zeitgeist, the Movie online, and has become a fanboi. I recall hearing about it a couple of years ago, but never actually got around to watching it, until my bro made me sit down with him and watch. I lasted 20 minutes, but apparently the film lasts just over two hours.
When I was studying at university, the one thing that was repeated over and over by my lecturers was "cite your sources". It's one thing to draw a conclusion from a wide range of sources if you can actually show how you reached that conclusion, and another to make broad generalisations and act as if they're a given, when you don't bother to prove 'em. Guess what Zeitgeist does?
Bro & I then had a little debate about religion, which, you know, soon turned into an actual fight (hey, we're siblings; it's what we do). And, no doubt, we'll fight about it again. He's an atheist, because, like me, he always felt Christianity to be wrong. I'm a pagan mystic, because I realised that there was more to god and religion than monotheism.
Anyyyyyyyyyyyway, what I was wondering was whether any of y'all can recommend sites that discuss Zeitgeist, the Movie? - especially the religion part of it. Alternatively, if you've seen it, what do you think of it?
