i never said Zeitgeist was a conspiracy. i believe it. its just people here said it was conspiracy theory >>

and as for your points against Zeitgeist. i got some for ya.

1. Religion is just a form of control. if you look into history - say to the civilization of Sumeria (aka Babylonia), they had stories similar to ones in the bible, in the Qur'an, w/e. the point is. religion today just steals all those stories, twists it in order to benefit the religion, so they can control more people. i myself was born into a muslim family. i think its all ballsacks.
2. individuality would exist, especially if we didnt have to work to pay off someone's debt. imagine what we can do with our minds. we can be more creative, create new things, etc.
3. money creates imbalance, and Zeitgeist suggests that its evil. of course its evil. think about it. if money doesnt exist, no one would be poor, no one would be stealing because they would have all they need, and no one would die of hunger. and we dont need to kill the earth cos we wont need gasoline.
4. it didnt want to stop technological progression. wtf? it wants us to explore our capabilities, using other forms of energy other than gasoline.
5. your 4th and 5th point. i dont understand. how could that be bad?

the movie does NOT denounce technology. it does however denounce religion. and it certainly does not denounce individuality.

and Venus project was asking for money? O_o
i must've missed it.
but i dont think money would be needed for it if money didnt exist.
even if its not the Venus Project, why cant we go back to the times where we all trade instead of use this piece of paper for everything, why does pieces of paper determine what we are as a person? (i'm not the richest out there, i'm actually just scraping by, and its really sad to see the giant gap between the rich and the poor)

look at a country like say, indonesia. where i come from. the gap between the rich and the poor if just so fracking ridiculous. its really sad.
