Is Zeitgeist a big lie

Answer 1

Yes and no. Under the pseudonym, Peter Joseph, the creator of the film, examines the falsehoods of religion, the 911 conspiracy, and the Federal Reserve. Now given that the film is coming from one very distinctive point of view, one should never just blindly believe that everything presented therein is factual. There are many sites that have outlined misquotes, lack of legitimate sources and just plain erroneous information offered in this film. Here are a couple of links that challenge the film and expose some of the inaccuracies: http://www.conspiracyscience.com/articles/zeitgeist/ http://webskeptic.wikidot.com/start Above all, you need to remember to think for yourself. That means researching the claims and theories made in any film (or book, article, etc). For instance, the links above point out the fact that Zeitgeist only lists one major source for the information it presents in the Religious section of the film. That source is apparently a self-proclaimed expert in her field of research, but as the authors of the links point out, her expertise cannot be confirmed by any known circle of academics anywhere. Always be aware of anyone, any film, any book claiming to know everything. That said, the film inspires you to open your mind to question things around you. Question the theories and concepts that it presents, but also question the validity of those very theories and concepts themselves.
