"Zeitgeist" is a German word, which means "the spirit of our time."

This is a 2-hour movie, though it is more like two 1-hour movies back-to-back, and only the first part deals with religion.

If you have ever wondered why there are many religions throughout history that people accepted and why there are similarities among human populations in believing in the supernatural, the first half of this movie is the best I've ever seen that explains it in detail.

BTW, the first few minutes are a dark screen with voice over, but that's only the first few minutes.

Enjoy.

I actually saw thison google video. Really got me thinking about the existance of religions and this great thing we call "God".

I saw it a long time ago. I felt it was headed in an ok direction at first, but then it jumped all into a 911 fever and ugghh. Yet another conspiracy to contend with.

It would have been a good documentary if it ended after part 1. The rest is conspiracy bull shit.

(Anyone know how accurate part 1 is, anyways?)

Part one is more conspiracy theory than the other 'two' parts. I watched it and it had three parts: religious conspiracy, Federal Reserve/World Bankers conspiracy, and 911 conspiracy. In reality, FR/WB is the closest to the truth, followed by 911. The most fabricated and propagandistic of the three was the one about religion. Very little of that 'episode' was true.

The religious and world banking conspiracies aren't nonsense, but I remain skeptical of the 9/11 theories.

Loser, how is the first part fabricated?
I watched this movie last year and actually looked up everything about the religious part of it and its all true.

Astrology was the basis of Christianity, worshiping the sun, morphed into worshiping Jesus, the whole part about December 25th, the death and resurrection based on the astrological movement of the north star is true.

So please before you call something fabricated, do your research.

What do you think of the statement made in the movie?

I'm the proof that evolution works... You're the proof that it doesn't. Ask your doctor if thinking is right for you.
