It astonishes me that people will watch a YouTube film and proceed to happily accept virtually all of what they are presented on the one hand, and trumpet their own measured skepticism on the other. Simply put, Zeitgeist is "interesting" only because it is little more than a piece of fiction. It was composed of hearsay and innuendo woven into a conspiracy that either badly misrepresents the contents and teachings of ancient religious texts and traditions, or it invents them entirely from whole cloth to support the film makers utterly vapid understanding of the history and development of religion.
Zeitgeist is terrible. If you are interested in religion, then you are much better served reading a book on the subject written by a bona fide expert.
