The Greatest Story Ever Garbled

Perhaps the worst aspect of “The Greatest Story Ever Told,” Part I of Peter Joseph’s Internet film, Zeitgeist, is that some of what it asserts is true.
Zeitgeist is The Da Vinci Code on steroids.

Yep does a good job of showing that the Part 1 of Zeitgeist is almost completely fabricated rubbish. Of course that wasn't hard to find out, if you google certain phrases from the first part of Zeitgeist it leads you to an example essay about religious symbolism from an essay selling site. Clearly the author of Zeitgeist liberally stole from this example essay, and it wasn't a particularly compelling or well researched essay either.
I was surprised a friend of mine recommended watching Zeitgeist to me, especially after sitting through a laughable few minutes of its Part 1. Having taken some mythology and some courses about religion it struck me as highly, highly questionable and suspect. I guess he was more easily duped as some in this thread are.
I saw no point in even watching the rest as the makers of Zeitgeist lost all credibility with the first part. Anybody with a critical attitude towards bold truth claims likely couldn't stomach Zeitgeist at all.
