So I watched the parts I think you may be referring to–and I can see where they are coming from, to a point: some of the choices for the dates/symbols in Christian calendars correspond to astrological times and Egyptian belief. However, I am not sure this is result of a conspiracy to hide the truth as much as a matter of many cultures intrepreting the same occurences in different ways.
The confluence of beliefs does not neseccarily mean that the Christianity then must be untrue.
And the presence of prototypes in the OT is a specific literary device that actually is seen as a way a legitimizing figures rather than taking away from them.
In both cases, the argument depends upon modern, western values: particularly the value that for something to be true, it must be independent and original. There is no historical, cultural appreciation for the beauty and truth that myth holds and has held for many cultures.
Plagiarism/copying has only gotten a bad rep in the past 200 or so years. Check out Shakespeare’s sources, for example.
Again, I am not sure this makes sense– I think I am completely exhuasted– I’m going to go to sleep– maybe we can pick this up another time…
Thank you for the response. I have watched the movie and ill say this. Some parts of the movie are a little out there but the first 20min or so are rather interesting. They deal specifically with religion and i honestly would suggest that you watch at least this part. then after watching that portion i would like to hear your opinion? thank you though
