I have been searching for things lately and stumbled upon this

Zeitgeist - The Movie

its a movie on the website, a free download. Read the statement page and watch the movie. For some reason it made sense to me, and has caused me to begin doing a little research, and keeping a close eye on current events. If you have the time, check it out, and if it says anything to you, contact me so that I know that there are others out there that feel that something should be done

thanx for your time

Haven't checked that out yet but I will. For the record, I have been feeling like there are lots of things wrong with this country since I was 22. Femininized country, and a place that embraces all things it supposedly opposes. We actually do more harm than good to each other in a media sense I believe. Shows that try to break out of stereotypes are forced off the air, while those that embrace the stereotypes last longer. All kinds of stuff, but whatever. I will check that out and get back to you.

i watched it about 5 months ago, its pretty crazy

Okay the beginning had some good points about all the different religions. But I do not agree with some of the things they are saying. I believe in God, but I did not choose to believe in God. No one will believe me, but God chose me, for whatever purpose I serve in the future. I have had my share of miracles, that no one can explain their reason in why such things have happened. If my religion came from that of ancient Egypt, then so be it. I will be more open minded to other's religions for now I see the relationship between them all. However, I will not be led to believe that religion is only used to empower evil people and causes war. Man is responsible for whatever he does regardless. Rap music can influence bad people to kill and harm others, though it's purpose is not meant for such, nor is Rap a killer of human lives. All of man's ideals are of many truths, but also man's input is always added in such things to justify whatever sin he may have within his heart. This video has good points, but I believe it would do more harm than good.

I too believe in God, however, the point that I believe it is trying to make is that God is not inside of the man made institutions we call religion. I believe that God is inside of us all, who or whatever that may be, but the religions of the world cannot be let off the hook of possibly being corrupt just because they say that God is involved. Forever there have been very intelligent and rich men who want nothing but power. and they will not concern themselves with how it gets done. IMO and those of others around me, believe that the purpose of our lives now is to band together (as cheezy as that may sound) and take back our country, and our world. We are all human beings, and are one with one another, but it is the brainwashing and the propaganda that splits us up. DIVIDE AND CONQUER...its been the motto for how long, and its eveident the further we move into the election year Republican vs Democrats, liberal vs conservative, left vs right, its all a ploy to divide us up. I can only urge anybody who feels even slightly about this whole thing to begin doing research and think. Talk to people. the truth is not told, it is realized.

Very interesting points made. I love when you said "The truth is not told, it is Realized". I have never heard that before and my friend, I thank you for sharing that. That makes so much sense. This video was starting to scare me in the beginning, but I see clearly now. They never said there isn't a God, they were just saying "You don't know $#!T! Man puts his own feelings into the religion he starts, and relationships from man and his creator are not meant to be made, they are meant to be discovered. By making, people justify their own opinions should should not govern future generations based off one's bias.

I watched this documentary about 2 months ago and was pretty interested in it. I haven't done any research on it since, but I guess I'm bad at just taking people's word for it. I'm not religious myself, so I wasn't offended or affected by it. The points were still pretty interesting on the similarities of various "myths". I'm not trying to knock religion--I believe that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, including myself--but I have also thought that the religious organizations are just in it for the cash. What really got me was the points stated about 9/11 and things of that sort involving government. I've long believed that the government in this country is extremely corrupted with nothing but power and money hungry politicians that care about nothing more than themselves, and this documentary further reinforced that feeling. Another good documentary (if you don't mind Michael Moore) is Sicko. It deals mainly with health care, and will make you want to live somewhere else by the end of the movie.

The disturbing part about it is that we cannot band together to take back our country. I don't believe this government would ever allow a rebellion of that caliber. Civil war all over again. This country is divided, and I believe it always will be. Not to be a spoiler, but the fact was stated in Sicko that in countries such as France, Britain, etc., the government is afraid of the people. They have mass protest and get what they want. In America, the people are afraid of the government. You just don't see hundreds of thousands, even millions, of people gathering to protest or suggest a law, and that's why we, the people, will never be in control of this country. Not much of a democracy going on here if you ask me. And with the current political candidates, who really cares if it's a democracy or not? I can't criticize, because I am not registered to vote and I'm not planning on it. Right now, I'm more comfortable with being the one that doesn't vote for the wrong candidate and then regret it later on (George Dubya, anyone?). I don't do enough research on candidates to know who to vote for.

Yea, I can agree with some of the stuff mentioned Phoenix. But you are exactly correct when you say that in other countries, the government is scared of the people...not the other way around. And u know what, that is EXACTLY what is wrong here. We have all been brainwashed in one way or another. We are in an age of "boredom killing" Television is the new world babysitter, and TV is full of bull*&^$ (im sorry TV...i didn't mean that) lol but seriosly, parents don't talk to their kids anymore, friends don't have meaningful conversations. and the fear campaign is in full effect rite now. whoever is behind this and whatever they have planned is working, and our first step is to ABOLISH FEAR
