Why is it Still Celebrated as the Birth of Christ?

I hate to disagree with ya, but I’ve already seen zeitgeist, it’s complete bull. It’s the perfect illusion really, it even had me full for bout a day until I realized”… Wait a min…Ra is the sun God”. I finally regained my senses and started remembering my studies before the movie, only to realize the movie is complete bull. There are some, very few good facts. But it is not a factual movie. And calling it such would be like taking a slice of lemon pie, sticking it in a mud pie, and calling it a lemon pie. All claims in this movie are completely modern and new aged from new aged authors. It’s claims they completely just pull out of their butts. There’s no historical background in these claims, nothing backing it up, no evidence. Night and day were not a battle between good and evil, rather the sky Goddess swallowed the sun and each Day was re-bon. I re-looked at the list that were claimed to have similarities, none really did. Odin was never crucified, or reborn, same with many other Gods that were listed. Son and sun are pronounced completely different in the ancient languages. The only language in which they sound the same is English. Jesus wasn’t even born on the 25th. There is no ancient text that describes the belts to be the 3 kings ect. You also have to consider zodiacs are different for each culture. For example- look at the modern western and the Asian.. and then the Australian. The Egyptian zodiac had 13, not just 12 zodiac signs. Myths were developed to explain the events that took place in nature. Such as natural catastrophes, whether, ect. It wasn’t just formed around the zodiac. In actuality, the zodiac played a lesser key role than the movie makes out. The only culture that I can think of off the top of my head that were that obsessed with astrology were the Mayans. Don’t get me wrong, there were other cultures who involved their selves in astrology as well, but they weren’t obsessed and so blown of proportion like the movie describes.

I actually came across a good website a few weeks ago, it’s pretty interesting. It can do a better job at explaining things than I can. http://conspiracyscience.com/articles/zeitgeist/
