Raiders of the Lost Spark

In recent months, I’ve taken to renting documentaries instead of the constant stream of the Hollywood cheese that usually piques my interest (not that I don’t still enjoy these on occasion!). My main interest is in films of a religious, health, or planetary (healing planet earth!) nature. In particular, as of late, I would like to make mention of both Zeitgeist and The God Who Wasn’t There.

One of the particular features that stood out to me in both of these films is the fact that the Jesus Christ of the Gospels is strikingly similar to other ancient heroes and leaders of pagan cults. Whereas my initial inclination was in agreement with the hypotheses presented, upon further reflection, it occurred to me that perhaps the commonality of these persons could actually be used as an argument in favour of God, rather than against.

I am happy to have something to believe in.
