My view:
Zeitgeist is a collection of 3 commonly vocalized "we are abused by the authorities" "fight against the man" style conspiricies presented in such a way that more effectively provokes emotion and doubt within the viewer than the usual "smelly crazy guy standing on the street with a cardboard sign" method.
are the facts correct? i don't know. i plan to check out the sources mentioned in the credits sometime in the future.
do i believe it? while i'm not going to ignore it, i have to say i don't believe it right now. all i've seen is the creator's side of the story. i'd prefer to continue being happy with my current beliefs until i've had a look at the raw info and check if the creator has used it prpoerly or twisted it to fit the agenda.
i'm mainly concerned with part 1 as any person with religious beliefs may understand. the way they claim that all those "Gods" share all those exact qualities sounds too farfetched to be believed outright (which you shouldnt even if it sounded credible). mostly i'd like to see how they calculated all those "Gods" to all have been born on Dec 25 because i'm pretty sure all those various cultures didnt use a Gregorian calendar all those years ago. it does look like the creator is grasping to try to make the topic seem plausible.
as for the other parts, it doesnt affect my beliefs in those subjects so much.
the wars would likely still happen and still be just as bad no matter who caused 9/11.
i've always believed that all the economies around the world need to be fixed. so it doesnt matter to me if the economic problem in USA is because some men are greedy, my belief still stands that the current economic structures around the world only benefit the rich and that changes need to be made to make things fair for everyone.
the thing is people need to start Independantly Investigating the Truth for themselves. it's all good to open minded to other peoples ideas but accepting them without investigating and rationalising can lead some rather messed up beliefs.
