The movie Zeitgeist was shown at Southern Evangelical Seminary (along with many other schools) Saturday March 15th along with a panel of professors to discuss its theories (primarily pt. 1 - the attack on Christianity). As the website says: “It is my hope that people will not take what is said in the film as the truth, but find out for themselves . . .”
My thoughts are that atheists should be offended that such tripe is being ascribed to their position. I could have made a better attack on Christianity than this. “Sun God” = “Son of God”? (come on - English didn’t even exist back then!) . . . tired old falsehoods regarding non-existent myth parallels . . . December 25 being Jesus’ birthday . . . pathetic. If I did not know better I’d think a Christian made this film to make atheists look ignorant, as it is little more than a collection of known historical falsehoods. While these claims have been debunked for years in various venues, here are some that seem to be the first internet-based direct responses to the film (the last one is a 10 minute video):

I watched the whole thing between yesterday and today, and I don’t realy know what to say except that it made me feel “dirty”! Are you going to let us know what your thoughts are?

My thoughts are now in the post itself.
