Ok guys, a little while back, the movie "Zeitgeist" swept over the cafe and unfortunately confused and depressed so many people. Thanks to a little research, I know that at least the Christianity part is a load of BS. This link below explains how Zeitgeist was so influential and proves that the information Zeitgeist presented was unreliable.

It also attempts to appear humble saying at the bottom of the first webpage of the site urging that people not take what is found in the movie as the truth, but as a prompt to seek out the truth for "truth is not told, it is realized", whatever that might be supposed to mean.
This guy is an idiot...
But lets be clear, despite this disclaimer, this film has a clear pejorative point of view and is attempting to replace one sort of truth claims with another.
Isn't that exactly what he's trying to do?
Though it is good that this guy went out and came up with a bunch of research to refute certain claims, he seems to do it with the intent of putting down something he believes is wrong rather than trying to figure out what he believes is truth, which isn't a very noble cause...
Don't believe what you're told, you have to figure it out on your own, otherwise you're just a sheep. A mindless nothing that follows someone blindly because they're not smart of enough to do anything else. (This isn't aimed at you Preston, just a universal message).
What do we notice about this list of sources? Not a single one of these authors and sources are experts in the Bible, Biblical history, the Ancient Near East, Egyptology, or any of the cognate fields.
How does he distinguish who is and isn't an expert? Gerald Massey alone had several books on Egyptology and countless other books on Biblical Theology
