I'm not in absolute agreement with everything presented in the movie Zeitgeist. (www.zeitgeistmovie.com) Regardless, the first segment, elegantly describing how and why solar and stellar movements gained such importance to humankind that cosmic bodies were enshrined in myth, is a fantastic encapsulation of the major evidence against the claim of a historical Jesus and a unique spiritual status for Christianity. It's laid out in the movie and the sources are cited and, in some cases, linked to on the site.
If a halfway-intelligent sounding Christian can't shake his brainwashing long enough for the facts to get through, what is the point of even trying to reason with them? How do you present a logical argument to somebody who only needs a reassuring pat on the head from his fellow dupe to make him close his eyes again? How can we penetrate that kind of willful denial?
