"[Zeitgeist] describes the intellectual and cultural climate of an era. In German, the word has more layers of meaning than the English translation, including the fact that Zeitgeist can only be observed for past events."

EDIT: Ah, it is a movie. Good God, it looks retarded.

You hadn't heard of it?

Dude, just shut the hell up. You're an idiot.

Well, that'll teach em for comparing it to an unproven political control pamphlet counlessly re-written by the hand of man to suit ........well....man's purpose. (Especially the man who wanted control over the men under him (and their goats, taxes, rights not to be tortured, stripped of all that they were for disobeyance etc)

Jesus probably had a great suntan, somewhat ironically, especially being so near the equator. For all we know from the fact that life can really thrive in the sun, (Except, obviously with heavy internet users, such as myself) and any divine powers could only benefit from that.

The sun has been around a hell of a lot longer than Jesus "was" back then and definitely more-so since his alleged existance and subsequent alleged death.

So yes, If I were the sun, I would (If the sun had a conciousness) be infuriated being forever associated with something so often used for fear, war , hate, resentment like the baby Jesus and his theorectical schizophrenic delusion/"father" "God".

In fact I'd start rapidly warming your planet or something, for the blasphemy of it all.....

😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

{not all conspiracy theories are off the mark u know. reguardless of how ridiculous they might sound to you in the current enviornment. the orchestrating 9-11 attacks "theory" is atleast a valid possibility, even if general people do not consider it one}

If you consider all evidence against it making it a valid possibility then... 🤪 😆

Jesus totally didn't exist.

What??? 😑

it depends very much on where you live. in places like america etc, the norm is encouraged to develop in a way as to make most major deception fit into the "conspiracy theory" label. so it becomes impossible for a an average person to give even authentic theories much credibility. however, if u live sumwhere on the receiving end of the very real and very hostile and very devious policies of superpowers and their bought, dummy governments, its hard NOT to see those supposed "conspiracy theories" as true, with mass propaganda/cencorship/media manipulation hiding the truth{which really IS too horrifying to look at at times}.

i mean if the western media and the puppet pakistani government can turn the "confirmed" fatalities{mostly of children} of the red mosque incident from 1800 to 180! {when i know for a fact that it was even higher than 1800} then really{just one example} one can understand the level of manipulation and the severity of the issues and the intentions of those who change such figures.

That is true; the truth is most likely in the middle.

that would generally hold true for humanity's nature. however, when politics/opression/manipulation is concerned, it turns VERY quickly into a vicious cycle. ever heard the expression, " to hide one lie, youll have to make 2 more, two hide two lies, youll have to make 4 more............ n on and on". thats sorta what happens, and besides, that also holds true for actual policies and mistakes.

so{and atleast i can attest from my region of the world} its not just media, but to supress people, more and more murders/genocides/political oppression/economical unfairness and illegal activities are commited and it also turns into a vicious cycle with almost exponential growth in such acts.

{what im saying, is that if it were ENTIRELY upto humans, it wud prolly be in the middle, but practically, the above holds true as the physical world doesnt work on intentions alone}

smart, we just wish everything the government said was true, but really would it be so hard to think that the american government is corrupt? power corrupts, it's a well known fact, for instance communism itself isnt evil or bad it's just that the dictators get to much power and it completly corrupts them

LOLZ

Right

You're an imbecil.

Jesus Christ of Nazereth did exist...

That isn't the question, the "question" is whether or not the claims obviously stated in the bible are true or not.

Me, being a christian, is obviously going to believe them.

What!?

Because you said so? thats makes no sense.

that wasn't an attempt at covering an insult, i'm simply saying that I am a Christian, and I do believe in the story of Jesus Christ.

You're right, it doesn't make sense. I was making fun of you.

oh...

...Well, now it makes sense.

It's really not that simple. It's a paradigm.

Not every culture of history has fought wars to conquer.

Yeah, I want in on that religion.

I was alwys told that I'd be poked and prodded by demons whilst burning in the lake of fire.

I never knew it meant sodomy. 😐
