Quote:Religion is only part 1 of 3, and no more than 10% of the point. Zeitgeist by definition, after all, refers to our current time, and religion has been in the world as long as man.
It's also disappointing to see no one has put any thought as to the relevance of the quotes from my original post (none of which come from the movie itself).
I hadn't realized we were being scored. However, if I must ...
I consider the Zeitgeist quote meaningless because the viewpoints expressed on the site are extremely fringe. In no way do they express the sense of our time.
I consider the "V for Vendetta" quote similarly vacuous as all the government-related material is also fringe, extraordinarily nut-flavored, conspiracy theory.
As for the Biblical quote, which I assume is meant to imply we should give credence to the twaddle presented, being "open-minded" and all that. I shall counterquote with Carl Sagan:
"They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."
To wit, I contend that to people of sense, all viewpoints are not equal. One must apply some critical thinking along the way.
Alternatively, if the quote is meant to imply that some people will accept the oddest things as Gospel truth, I'm right there with you.
Since you're dancing around the subject, I'm assuming that you find some element of the subjects presented interesting or credible. If you included the link just for its risibility, I'm not sure why you attached the quotes.
