Hello, I’m ArteTuga, MIT Mathematics PhD and an Atheist. I hoper you enjoy this videos.
I just want people to question the system, people are free to choose to think and to worship whatever they want.
This documentary (Zeitgeist) questions religions as being god-given stories, arguing that the Christian religion specifically is mainly derived from other religions, astronomical facts, astrological myths and traditions, which in turn were derived from or shared elements with others. In furtherance of the Jesus myth hypothesis, this part argues that the historical Jesus is a literary and astrological hybrid, nurtured politically in the interest of control.
This section was based on a variety of writers and film makers, including the 19th century poet and amateur Egyptologist Gerald Massey, the mythologist Joseph Campbell and D.M Murdock (Acharya S), who has published a companion guide.[5][6]
Horus, an Egyptian Sun God, is introduced as having a number of attributes similar to that of many of the religious deities which came after him, including but not limited to Attis, Krishna, Dionysus, Mithra and Jesus Christ; these attributes include a virgin birth on December 25, twelve disciples, burial for three days, resurrection, and performing of miracles.[7][8][9][10]
The film expounds upon its claims about attributes in common. To explain the origin of the common December 25th birth, the film shows that as the winter solstice is the shortest day of the year with the shortest hours of sunlight (in the northern hemisphere), three days after the solstice the hours of sunlight can be seen to be increasing. This marks the birth of a “god of light” or Sun God. Another Christian-astrological similarity, according to the film, is that the three stars in Orion’s belt (called the “Three Kings”) align on December 25 with Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, and point to the Sun’s rise on the horizon.
This time is equated to the nativity of Jesus, where, according to the popular Christian myth, three “kings” follow the star in the east to locate the place of Jesus’ birth. Furthermore, around December 25, the Sun rises in the vicinity of Virgo, the constellation known as Virgin, which refers to the origin of Jesus’ virgin birth. Comparison of sunset in the vicinity of Crux with Jesus’ death on the cross is based on a similar principle. In addition, parallels such as walking on water (reflection at dawn/dusk), helping the blind see (without light there’s nothing, black; with light, one can see again) and turning water into wine (ripening of grapes) are shown as metaphoric miracles, explained as the influence of the Sun.
Arguably the most important fact shown is that of the thirty-odd historians living in and around the time of Jesus Christ, none mention him. Three mention, in few lines, “Christos” which is a title meaning “anointed one”, not necessarily Jesus. A fourth was proven to be fake over a hundred years ago. This lack of evidence for a supposedly important figure, underlines the artificiality of the Jesus story.
Christianity is thereby argued to be a Gnostic myth, historicized by the Roman Empire for social control of Europe through doctrines established at the First Council of Nicea. The Dark Ages, the Inquisitions and the Crusades are presented as events which maintained Europe’s submission to The Vatican through Christianity. The following is said in conclusion: “Christianity, along with all other theistic belief systems [...] empowers those who know the truth, but use the myth to manipulate and control societies. [...] It reduces human responsibility to the effect that “God” controls everything, and in turn awful crimes can be justified in the name of Divine Pursuit. [...] The religious myth is the most powerful device ever created, and serves as the psychological soil upon which other myths can flourish.”

You’ve got a valid point.
The comparison made between the words in English may not apply to other languages, but the objective of the documentary is to show one astrological sun god was plagiarized by many early primitive cultures and personified into many “christ-like” guys, as you can see in the video.
Best regards.
While I’m not …
While I’m not disputing the story, I’m a bit worried about the link between SUN and SON. Though the words sound the same in english, I doubt they would be the same in other languages or hieroglyphics.
Very good video. …
Very good video. It’s interesting to see the “evolution” of religion. Yep! even religions can’t escape evolution…nor extinction!

You lived, and that’s what matters, i’m glad for that and i thank you for making a comment. Everyone is entitled to have an opinion of their own.
I hope you live the rest of your life to its fullest.

Glad to burst your bubble, more in the line of a piece of mobilised metal squished to roughly half its size with us three inside. And it was pretty small inside to begin with.

Alright, you gotta tell this story.
I mean, is it something about surviving during combat? That has been known to happen…

I am very happy that you have finally found the cause for my death. See, only calling on the Name of Jesus Christ kept me and two colleagues alive when reason and logic both dictated death to us all.
But i do not expect an MIT graduate to understand or believe the ramblings of a mere soldier with only matric/Gr.12.
In Brian Flemming’s …
In Brian Flemming’s movie it was pointed out how devotees of other gods complained about how much Christians had borrowed from their stories, but it was seldom necessary for church leaders to explain this away since Christians knew very little about these other gods. I think you nailed the case with this video, and any open minded Christian is going to be quite unnerved at all the parallels.
