An online movie documenting the close ties between ancient pagan religions and today's Christianity is "anti-Christ" in nature, but nevertheless is sweeping the Christian world, destroying the faith of believers.
That's the claim of a Christian historian and author, Richard Rives who ironically, has been educating the public about the impact Pagan sun worship has had on traditional Christianity.
The documentary is "Zeitgeist," a 2007 documentary written and narrated by Peter Joseph, a film editor and producer in New York City.
Literally meaning "spirit of the time," "Zeitgeist" was released on DVD and the Internet, and Joseph claims it has been viewed more than 50 million times on Google Video, and more than 100 million times when all the outlets accounted for.
The movie combines the various legends which have influenced Christianity, legends of Horus, Krishna, Mithra (Egyptian God), Dionysus (of Greece etc.). We have discussed this issue here before, in bits and patches. Thus we have discussed Horus, Krishna etc. However, this move brings it all together, and describes how Christianity is nothing more than a mish mash of old legends.
Apparently the movie has been very effective. Rives, also known for his hunt for the Ark of the Covenant, added, "Millions of believers have watched 'Zeitgeist' and many are throwing away their long held faith in Jesus as a result. I am receiving calls from people concerned about family members who are doing just that.”

Could there be hope for Christians yet? It may be that after seeing the movie, some of them may see the light. As least some of them are, according to Rives.
