Come watch the religious section of Zeitgeist with us, and we will discuss as a group afterward. Transcripts will also be available, and we will also be using the companion guide to discuss comparative religion.

You can watch the movie or get the transcript online for free. We have already donated and received the companion guide and will have a copy of it for everyone to look at if they wish.

If you'd like to watch the religion section, or the whole thing, prior to coming to the event:

FAQ and Q & A regarding Zeitgeist and the Zeitgeist Movement:
What is the Zeitgeist Movement? (Find this information at the Q and A section of the website.)

The Zeitgeist Movement is a grass roots campaign to unify the world through a common ideology based on the fundamentals of life and nature. This movement ignores politics, religion and the like, and instead attempts to communicate how all humans are the same at the fundamental level and how it is time we start to work together on a global scale to end the seemingly perpetual conflict and suffering in our current world society.

    Thanks to everyone who bought some food and things to drink, we more than met our 'minimum' purchase for the room! :) Thanks to everyone who just showed up, it was nice to see everyone again and also meet some new people.

    Thanks gal, we need to spend some monies! Of course, we're just playing the video and then chatting about it, so I'll probably be having some beers... :)

    A lot of people know very little about mythology (besides their religion.) I'll come prepared to eat! :)

    Also, again, this is more about a sense of community than what we're up to. :) I like to be positive about all of the suggestions and ideas we get.

    "Fittingly, the video features a quote from Thomas Paine reducing Christianity to warmed-over sun worship, which was a daring bit of religion-baiting 200 years ago, albeit not so earth-shattering today." I'm going to have to disagree with the reviews implying that 'everyone knows this'. I have found that is not true in the slightest. Many of us atheists who read and learn know it, but most others do not. I think showing the comparative religion portion of this film has a lot of value.

    I'm preparing another little audio/video presentation on the Osiris/Jesus connection (audio by Bob Price) to play after Zeitgeist.

    Come prepared to eat lunch, snack, and/or drink. The meeting room here has a minimum, and I'd rather not end up paying it myself! :) lol.
