'the religious myth is one of the most powerful devices ever created, and it serves as the psychological soil upon which other myths can flourish.' -robert ingersoll, 'the great agnostic', as quoted at the end of part one of the documentary film, zeigeist, which examines the origins of religion, debunks christianity, and, as the quote illustrates, describes it's function in modernity.
i've posted before about this film here. i like to revisit from time to time, to sort of regain some big picture perspective on this crazy dystopian world (particularly in contemporary MAGA america).
btw, the ingersoll quote above appears 39 minutes into Zeitgeist.
part 2 is titled all the world's a stage, and begins with quickly debunking the official narrative of what / who was behind 9/11, referring to it as a myth, and goes on to place it in the context of an ongoing history of grand official conspiracies that have been covered up by other official narratives (lies).
the last part of zeitgeist is titled 'pay no attention to the men behind the curtain'. it draws a parallel to the false flag and propaganda ops of nazi germany and contemporary (in 2007) america. and as george carlin did on stage with his comic act, it asserts that 'the last thing the power establishment wants is a conscious informed public capable of critical thinking'.
it is in my opinion a masterpiece of independent documentary film making. peter joseph is the creative genius behind the Zeitgeist documentaries, and is interviewed about it here:
