ZEITGEIST
There are certain films that everybody should see. The ones that make you question, debate, and hopefully act on what you see. People don't have to agree or disagree with them (although that's is usually the outcome), they just have to question and be open to the premise the movie suggests.
My friend Mark Abma sent me a link to a film called Zeitgeist that everybody needs to see. Sit down, get comfortable, and push play. It's pretty long, maybe two hours, but worth it. It takes on three very interesting topics: Christianity, War & 911, and who really runs the world (The Financial Institutions). Zeitgeist was created as a nonprofit film expression to inspire people to start looking at the world from a more critical perspective and to understand that very often things are not what the population at large think they are. Please watch the following movie.
I grew up going to church every Sunday, believing in God, went through confirmation, and became a member of the church. There was a minister at my church named Dale Turner who I truly enjoyed listening to because he made me think. Then I took some Origins of Religion and Philosophy courses that really made me question religion. There are many positive things that come from religion, like giving people hope, but there have been horrible things associated with religion as well, when an organization or power over people is abused.
The U.S. government, our political system, and mainstream media, I've been feeling are broken. I haven't been able to put my finger on why or how, but things just haven't added up. SO many things just aren't right about what happened on 911 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It just doesn't seem like we know what we are doing. Or we do know, we just don't want to say.
What is the root of the worlds and our countries problem? It's money and power. Who has it and who doesn't. There are so many appropriate sayings to express this thought. You know what I mean.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power,
the world will know peace. - Jimi Hendirx.
Anyway, watch this film and you'll get the picture. Pass on the website information and get more people to watch this challenging film. Discuss it's possibilities with your friends and families.
