  • Kindly see the MOVIE ZEITGEIST. I am sure that after seeing this movie there will be no Questions & Answers.
  • Sometimes I do. I try to live life as it comes and enjoy every moment of it. I think I would be shocked of either answer to the question.
  • I already know the truth, its that Religion & God are a lie!
  • Yes. It would save a hell of a lot of religion driven wars/spats if we all knew, wouldn't it?
  • No. All that is cloaked in mystery. If there was one true religion, why has it splintered into so many different factions and does that original true religion even exist anymore. What's more, Was that one true religion even true? Noone will ever know although many will claim to.
  • yes. sure
  • I know the truth already. Thanks anyway. My 2 cents.
  • There are various "truths" or different versions of what is deemed as the "truth" between religion and god. The Bible is interpreted differently, there is no truth. One example of the church being challenged is the Scopes Monkey Trial in the 1930's. The end result of the trial is that God's Bible is interpreted differently (humans are not evolved from either monkeys or God), somehow the "truth" will never be discovered.
  • Read the Bible.
  • No thanks.
  • It's terrible that people have such closed minds on knowing the truth. If people got thier minds set on the wrong answers and that is what they know i.e. if they KNOW that 2+2=5 then it will be hard to convince them that it actually equals 4. They say that the truth hurts, and they say that ignorance is bliss! Also, how can an athiest say "cool as hell"? First of all, they don't belive in hell, and secondly hell is warm... very warm... not cool. and hell sucks... it is not cool in that way either. Nor can athiests say Goddamnit they should say sciencedamnit, or nobodydamnit!! thats my opinion
  • No thank you, I know all I need to know. It's all bullshit!
  • I know the truth about religion and god: it's all fake, a sham, a con
  • It depends on whose truth it is.. truth is in the eye of the beholder and your truth may not be my truth...and vice versa ..so no ill keep to my owqn delusions.
  • I don't think anyone does, if any such truth exists...
  • The secret's already out, we all know that they're fake, a scam and a tool for manipulating the fools
  • how can anyone know the truth about cults as multifaceted, ambiguous, and different which are interpreted in so many different ways, with so many inconsistencies..none of which have an hard proof to back up anything they say or claim to be "truth"?
  • The truth about religion is that it's man-made and the truth about God is already recorded in Scripture.
  • No, I'll stick with various lies and confusion we all know and love.
  • I already do.
  • Well of course, who doesn't? The only problem is, no one has the truth.
  • Yes ummm no i don't no one knows everything.
  • Not really all that interested but thanks anyway. Do you happen to know the truth about who killed JR?
  • I already do. Do you?
  • 1) I noticed that you indicated in you own answer what you seem to consider could be the truth: "Kindly see the MOVIE ZEITGEIST. I am sure that after seeing this movie there will be no Questions & Answers." http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3371138 I hope however, that after seeing this movie, Answerbag will still go on. ;-) 2) Everyone certainly would like to know the truth, if there is one. But do you really think that the truth presented by the movie "Zeitgeist" is better than other truths? I found some rather dismissive reviews about this movie. However, there seem to be a quite important community supporting this "Zeitgeist" movement. I would suggest that anyone watch the movie themselves to build their own opinion. It contains certainly some interesting information. 3) "Zeitgeist, the Movie is a 2007 documentary film about alleged "social myths", including religion, 9/11 and the banking system. A sequel, Zeitgeist: Addendum, advocates a new technology-based social system influenced by the ideas of Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project." "References to Zeitgeist in the media are relatively few and the great majority are dismissive: On April 30, 2009, Rhonda Swan of Palm Beach Post Who can argue with such a movement? What we have never has worked for the benefit of society as a whole. How much longer can we really expect it to last? Isn't keeping our current system and expecting something different from what it's always given us insanity? On March 17, 2009, Alan Feuer of The New York Times, reporting on a gathering of Zeitgeist fans contrasted the two movies saying that "The former may be most famous for alleging that the attacks of Sept. 11 were an “inside job” perpetrated by a power-hungry government on its witless population, a point of view that Mr. Joseph said he has recently “moved away from.” Indeed, the second film, the focus of the event, was all but empty of such conspiratorial notions, directing its rhetoric and high production values toward posing a replacement for the evils of the banking system and a perilous economy of scarcity and debt." The same article summarized the Venus Project of Zeitgeist II as "a futuristic society where (adjust your seatbelts, now) machines would control government and industry and safeguard the planet’s fragile resources by means of an artificially intelligent “earthwide autonomic sensor system” — a super-brain of sorts connected to, yes, all human knowledge. If this sounds vaguely like a disaster scenario out of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Mr. Fresco did not seem worried in the least. Machines are unemotional and unaggressive, unlike human beings, he told the crowd during the question-and-answer phase. “If you took your laptop and smashed it in front of 50 other laptops, trust me, none of them would care.” " An article in the Irish Times, said that "These are surreal perversions of genuine issues and debates, and they tarnish all criticism of faith, the Bush administration and globalization - there are more than enough factual injustices in this world to be going around without having to invent fictional ones. One really wishes Zeitgeist was a masterful pastiche of 21st-century paranoia, a hilarious mockumentary to rival Spinal Tap. But it's just deluded, disingenuous and manipulative nonsense. [...] If you pretend to know only truth, in truth you know only pretence." An article in the weekly Seattle paper The Stranger, later reprinted in the Utne Reader magazine, said: "It's fiction, couched in a few facts [...] and it adds up to the worst kind of fear-mongering." It also commented on the irony in the film's three-part structure by noting that "It's fascinating, this structure. First the film destroys the idea of God, and then, through the lens of 9/11, it introduces a sort of new Bizarro God. Instead of an omnipotent, omniscient being who loves you and has inspired a variety of organized religions, there is an omnipotent, omniscient organization of ruthless beings who hate you and want to take your rights away, if not throw you in a work camp forever." The February 25, 2009 edition of eSkeptic, the online newsletter of The Skeptics Society, criticizes the first part of the film (the one on Christianity) by saying: "Perhaps the worst aspect of [...] Part I of Peter Joseph’s Internet film, Zeitgeist, is that some of what it asserts is true. Unfortunately, this material is liberally — and sloppily — mixed with material that is only partially true and much that is plainly and simply bogus. [...] Zeitgeist is The Da Vinci Code on steroids." CBC Radio Host Jesse Brown broadcast an audio essay on the movie summarizing the movie with: "It's the same old paranoid jazz, but Zeitgeist, The Movie weaves it all together really skilfully." The Globe and Mail has also published a critical article about the movie, titled "Rejecting Conspiracy Thinking Keeps it Alive and Well," in which it is said that ""[...] this stuff [...] it's all been thoroughly debunked for years. Evidently, debunking isn't the issue. [...] Nor can you cite the findings of the professional, journalistic, and academic consensus to someone who's decided that having credibility means being under the sway of shadowy forces. [...]for all the talk of skepticism, conspiracy counterculture is really an anti-intellectual, populist movement - much like Intelligent Design. For all their absurdity, conspiracy theorists try to drag everything back to the level of common sense. [...] Did the collapsing buildings on 9/11 look like they were being demolished? Then they must have been demolished. Did the 757 that hit the Pentagon's blast-proof walls fail to make a plane-shaped hole? Then it must have been something else. Are there unexplained quirks in the official story? Then it must be the work of a higher power. [...] Conspiracy theorists want to see [...] a malevolent design behind events. The notion that calamity might be the unintended consequence of subtler causes doesn't hold the same appeal. Evil, whatever its other uses, drives a great narrative. Complexity, not so much." The Village Voice mentioned Zeitgeist in passing in a review of the 2008 fiction film Able Danger in which the film critic sees an "invocation of September 11 for the vaguely satirical purpose of tweaking conspiracy crap like that found in Zeitgeist: The Movie (an Internet film that, like Krik's recent "Be Kanye" ads, went mega-viral last year)" " Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeist,_the_Movie 4) "The Zeitgeist Movement is a worldwide grassroots movement advocating broad social advancements, most notably, the application of the Scientific Method for human social concern and overall well-being. One major goal of the movement is for modern global society to transition from a monetary based economy to a resource-based economy. The movement is also the activist community in support of The Venus Project, which is the lifelong work of industrial designer and social engineer Jacque Fresco. As of March 16, 2009 the movement had approximately a quarter-million members. The Zeitgeist Movement is named after the documentary films produced, written, and narrated by Peter Joseph and released online. Zeitgeist, the movie, was released in 2007 and a sequel, Zeitgeist: Addendum, was released in 2008. A third film, tentatively titled Zeitgeist III, is scheduled to be released in October of 2010. Peter Joseph has stated that its topics will focus on human behavior, technology, and rationality. In general, all films portray the underlying societal problems manifested in monetary-based economic systems and offer possible solutions."

  • No I'd rather spend the rest of my life in a cage.
  • Ppl like u and me cannot know the truth about religion and god.
  • Each of us an individual ... Each of us has our own ideals to understand or accept ... Each of us does not want pressure from the belief of others for they to imagine we do not understand the truth. Peace
  • Your truth?????
  • This is the way I see it, if there is a problem, involving science its usually proved, Half the bible isnt proven and if there is a question against religion or god people ignorantly avoid it without explanation or just say god works in mysterious ways, which is equally as vague, its like putting the correct answer in a test or just writing god works in mysterious ways for all of them and its pretty inevitable that you'll fail! So did god actually tell religious people that he works in mysterious ways then?
  • I'd love to know the truth but all I can get is speculation and assumption.
  • Sure, why not? But THE truth, not anybody else's interpretation or belief of the truth.
  • Yup. But I'm pretty sure I already do. +5
  • Of course, who wouldn't? There seems to be many cover-ups regarding religion that had been made in the past and today.
  • Oh man, by the way you stated your question, I thought you were going to tell us the truth about religion and god...Oh well...
  • Thanks to some patient people, I am on my way of learning the truth more fully. "although, in fact, he is not far off from each one of us".
  • Nope, I already know the truth: that it's a hoax and a wank
  • I already do: http://godisimaginary.com/
  • If there was a universal truth, I'd be glad to learn it. But I doubt there is one.
  • Okay so the way I see it. If there is a god then I think he loves everyone the way they are and just doesn't want people to destroy each other. I'm good with that. I can handle that. So as long as I don't intentionally hurt anyone or thing than I feel pretty comfortable. If there isn't a god then I don't see anything wrong with living as if there are consequences for your actions. Sometimes I think that's a good thing.
