How can so many people ignore so much evidence?

Fear. It makes people do the most marvellous (in the original sense of the word) things.

Not fear of god, not exactly. They know -- with that part of their brains that can never be turned off -- they know there's no such thing to be afraid of.

It's fear of what may happen if Things Fall Apart. Daniel Dennett describes it as "fear of the breakdown of consensus." What will people do when that is gone?

I loved Zeitgeist, but the whole 9/11 thing had them coming off as idiots. I mean, yeah, I agree with the Christianity part, even if it was incessantly exacerbated, but the 9/11 borderline conspiracy thing was just kind of bonkers. It ruined their credibility a little for me, and I'm a skeptical atheist.

I am not a Christian but that video was innacurate if I remember correctly he has missnamed Amon-Ra as Horus and a whole load of other mistakes read the actual mythology and history regarding it and you will realise his mistakes were juvenile.

If you believe that entire video he is laughing at you as much as he laughs at the religous. Good day to you.

I am not saying it does not contain an element of truth, but it should be viewed with more than a pinch of salt.

There is no point replacing one belief in garbage with belief in another type of garbage.

There is a lot of biological evidence that the human brain has a large capacity for the experience of "religion", that we are hard wired for it. In other words; we evolved to think that way. Somehow, it probably had an important evolutionary purpose for us. So like it or not, humans are religious animals.

It is very sad to see the answers to the question you cite. The wilful denial, the blinkered attitude, the blind faith, the failure to believe hard evidence are all signs of total brainwashing and indoctrination. There is no way to reason with people like that.

However, the numbers of religious people will dwindle over time so that they will become a harmless minority.

the zeitgeist is just another movie made on conspiracy theorists imagination mixed with half-truths...i suppose everything in that movie is factual and can never be refuted as factual...how about Christianity is the only religion to claim the forgiveness of sin...do the other similar stories say that...that is just one example of how one sided the story is...i guess you can't imagine an intelligent Christian because that would mean your mind would have to be broadened...too bad you can't learn to tolerate others instead of wanting them to think the same way you do...

You are basing your beliefs on a movie that was made by some biased man or men over a historical book of written, documented,witnessed facts?

wow

I have some beach front property in Arizona that I willing to let go REALLY cheap if you are interested

They have now been born again as ostritches.

You know, ostriches.

No more sheep.

youre thinking of cults and being rude and condescending...real CHristians are converted BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD...WE HAVE different evidence you cant fathom without the spirit...you will find out someday and then your mouth will close in awe and amazement.

where is this halfway intelligent christian i see no evidence of him/her on R&S
