Since its release in 2007 the
internet film Zeitgeist has been seen by 50 million people around the
world. The film attacks the foundations of Christianity by claiming
that the historical Jesus never existed. Jesus was originally a solar
deity, whose story closely parallels several other pagan gods. The story
of Jesus life is best understood as an astrological analogy. When the
first Council of Nicaea met in 325 under the direction of the Roman
Emperor Constantine, the Christ myth was rewritten as if it were real
historical fact. While some of the ideas in the Zeitgeist film are based
in fact, others are pure fiction. Tim Callahan, religion editor for
Skeptic Magazine, joins us on the show to share his critique of the
film. Reasonable Doubts: Your skeptical guide to religion offering news
and commentary of interest to skeptics, atheists, humanists, apologists
looking for a challenge and freethinkers of all persuasions.
