Very interesting. Got two of them and it was well worth the watch for three long plus hours.
I have so much to agree with the movie although I find it distasteful to single out or parody only Christianity and Islam.
If I were to suggest, I would have wanted it to just generalize religions as institutions oblivious to the real issues facing humanity today and their unthinking that they are actually part of the status quo.
Overall, it was compelling and touching. At the final minutes of the Addendum, I pondered on the Herculean task of bringing about the change the Venus Project wanted to do for humanity --- to say the least, it's rather "utopic." We may not achieve it in our lifetime, but I am hopeful.

I agree...most of what's presented in the movie are merely opinions and some of which may be speculations like the 9/11, the Iraqi-invasion, and etc. But I laud the movie's presentation on how misplaced the priorities have been in the US. Like the billions spent on war which could have been enough to put every teenage American to school.

As I pointed, it's a compelling movie no less... it gives you something to seriously think about.

that's what Peter Joseph (the director of zeitgeist) was saying about religion...
Religion puts you into a static identity and a static world view, when the reality is, the world is emergent.
and there is no such thing as utopia, the very notion of utopia is static.Last edited by grovestreet; 03-03-2009 at 10:58 AM.

A cursory glance at widely defended historical notions, from the earth being flat to the sun revolving
around the earth, teaches us that intellectual change is constant and, in turn, humans must keep as
‘open’ a mind as possible to new information, even if it challenges that person’s sense of identity. It is
an unfortunate evolutionary side effect that in modern culture, a great deal of ego is involved with
beliefs and values. Religion, for example, tends to hold tight to static worldviews that often reflect an
understanding of reality that stretches back thousands of years prior.
