Zeitgeist
Watched Zeitgeist The Movie, Part 1 last night over the internet. It's good to be able to finally watch a movie over the internet full screen on a 19" monitor without pausing after all those years of being on dial up access.
I noticed a couple of misrepresentations about Christianity in it: No Christian scholar believes Jesus was born on December 25th, that was just the appropriation of a pagan festival that suited (which is why some Christians don't celebrate Christmas, personally I think Jesus is bigger than that). There were not three kings: they were magi or astrologers, and there weren't three of them, that is just a tradition. If they are as loose with their research into other religions as they are into Christianity then there are sure to be mistakes there as well.
Blessings,
Joe :-)

Further to what I said earlier, as my minister mentioned on Sunday, there is more evidence to support the life, death & resurrection of Jesus than there is to support the existence of several historical figures we take for granted such as Julius Caesar.
