I'd just like to point out real quick that I don't like Zeitgeist. Having said that, I still can't help but think that, as a last possible resort (which I confess makes this sound more important than it is) it works. I say this out of experience rather than personal philosophy or the like. Sure, I have to correct my friends who see the film after they've resigned to that particular state of mind, but the point still gets through--and they acknowledge this--that they need to question more than they used to, and that (and this to me is the most important part to me) Christianity and the other religions out there just don't work. Does this make Zeitgeist a good thing? No, but I don't think it hurts as much as it helps.

Also, to go off on a brief tangent, was that "atheist long before it was cool" bit a back-handed comment? I'm just curious, because pulling the age card seems like a dip in your otherwise intelligent post.

EDIT: Actually, never mind. I kind of misunderstood the comment.
