Thread:User talk:WaitingforGodot/Jesus mythicism in Zeitgeist/reply (5)

I think it plays into the hands of "everything They tell you is wrong" by painting religion as the biggest lie. That alone is a mighty inviting conspiracy that makes 9/11 look tame. Butter your audience (which I doubt would have a massive knowledge of Christian mythology to help refute it) with these ideas and they'll accept the 9/11 stuff very easily - and after that the third part even more so. So you could view Zeitgeist as just being a build up to Part III, which is just "the Jews rule the world" once you've scraped the top layer away. The first two parts are there just to help drag the audience in first; they'll have an inherent distrust of authority, most likely religion too, and will certainly be familiar with Loose Change style 9/11 shite so they'll get to trust the film through that. By the time they're through that and hit the part about the Fed they're willing to accept it just there and then without any hesitation.

Just a thought, anyway.
