[i]~fanfare~[/i] Not surprisingly the slam against Xianity was my primary focus ;) I watched the first half of this movie a few weeks back. My first reaction was that it was classic conspiracy theory. I usually dismiss conspiracy theories simply because they are conspiracy theories. Anyone can justify anything they want by using the shoddy methods employed by this site and movie. I could cite people who used the Bible to justify slavery, premillennialists wrongly predicting the end repeatedly, Michael Moore?s movies, Area 51 theorists, etc. I find it ironic that this movie slams Christianity as part of a larger conspiracy by propping up its own conspiracy. In essence I hear them saying, ?don?t believe that Xianity crap! Believe our crap instead. And whatever you do don?t think it through for yourself!!!? But there is a side to the information that they offer concerning Christianity that needs to be addressed, and is difficult. Some stories in the bible are not unique, and this can be a very disturbing thing to learn initially; it was for me. I've been honest here about this being one of the areas that gives me pause about my faith. It really does bother me that these parallels exist and one must seriously consider how they fit into reality if one is to be intellectually honest. Now the good thing is that these other stories are not hidden or otherwise denied by me or the church I attend. The movie suggests that this is a ?dirty little secret? or the ?information your church doesn?t want you to know? sort of thing. But this is not the case, I openly accept facts as they are and do my best to provide answers concerning them. Ram, That sounds like a good book, thanks for the recommendation. I'm not sure I agree with your point about this shoddy movie being a good thing though. Wouldn't it be better for people to be inspired to look deeper by the voice of reason rather than propaganda? I can agree it's wonderful if someone comes to a clearer understanding of the world [i]in spite[/i] of a film like this, but I would sleep much better at night knowing there were fewer conspiracy theories making the rounds. reisio, Did Ram get it right? When you say "what they're promoting is right", do you mean a "paradigm shift on the grand scale"? . . . : [url=http://www.bugimus.com][img]http://www.bugimus.com/sigs/small-sig1.gif[/img][/url] : . .
