I welcome INTELLIGENT & RESPECTFUL discussion with regards to the content and research that was done by the theology rearcher and creator of the video. STAY ON TOPIC!
******** DO NOT LEAVE COMMENTS ON THE 2012 CONSPIRACY ON THIS DISCUSSION *****
The creator of the above listed YouTube video researched the mythology of MANY ancient cultures and their central God-figure and put it up against the well-known Nativity Story of Jesus.
The video shows irrefutable PROOF that the legend surrounding Jesus' birth is merely a recent addition of yet another deity to an already-existing ANCIENT Sun-God mythology. This ancient Sun-God legend that numerous Pagan and pre-Christian religions ALL share is found worldwide across numerous cultures & shares one theme: worship of the Sun as a personified being/deity.
The video shows the concept that Jesus is a representation of ancient Sun-worship, making him more the "SUN of God" than the Son of God.
Note: The clip above is part of a movie called "Zeitgeist" - a critically acclaimed full-length film that the creator made regarding the origin of the Jesus Nativity story. I am NOT affiliated with the creation, promotion or distribution/downloading of "Zeitgeist"... I am merely someone who happend across the clip on YouTube and thought that it'd make for a damn interesting discussion!
-------------------------------
If you leave 2012 comments (or other off-topic comments), I will reply AND make an example of you like I did the others that apparently cannot follow a simple request OR directions.
KEEP ON TOPIC! NO EXCUSES!
OFF-TOPIC comments CLOG the discussion and dilute it from what opinions people WANT to read regarding the astrological connection of Jesus to practically every OTHER deity in history.
THANK YOU.
In case you didn't get it the first time:
