Take the Zeitgeist Challenge $1000 Posted by Zeitgeist Challenge in on Oct 1st, 2010
All you have to do is take the various claims (that I will list below) concerning the similarities of Christ and other ancient gods that Zeitgeist makes, match them up to the text where it is claimed, and provide the specific quote and/or a link to the source, for example:
- List here the claim made by Zeitgeist: - Here you might put the title of the text or glyph that is mentioned (for example: “Book of the Dead”, and the chapter and verse if applicable. - Here quote what is literally said in the source or why it is implied. - Here you would provide a link to it on the web, if applicable.
Repeat this process for ALL the claims made by Zeitgeist and you WIN!!
Here is a link to a good website where you can find copies of many of the ancient texts where some of these claims would be found. Sacred Texts You could, of course, also use texts any other place you find them, as long as they can be verified.
There is only one reasonable ground rule: Obviously, you would want to make sure the texts you quote from are valid, in that they are reasonably demonstrable to have been written before the time of Christ, only because the attempt by Zeitgeist is to show that the biblical story was “borrowed” from earlier myths.
The makers of Zeitgeist offer a list of sources for the claims they make, but they fail to list original texts, besides the Bible, in defense of them. So, it probably wont help you much, but it is available here. As you can see, Zeitgeist chooses, instead, to quote modern writers, of which the primary one seems to be Gerald Massey and Acharya S. The following are the claims of Zeitgeist word for word:
HORUS: Horus was born on December 25th Born of the virgin His birth was accompanied by a star in the east Three kings followed to locate and adorn the new-born savior At the age of 12, he was a prodigal child teacher And at the age of 30, he was baptized and thus began his ministry Horus had 12 disciples Performed miracles such as healing the sick and walking on water Horus was known by many gestural names such as The Truth, The Light, God’s Anointed Son, The Good Shepherd, The Lamb of God, After being betrayed by Typhon, Horus was crucified, Buried for 3 days and Thus, resurrected.
ATTIS: Born of the virgin On December 25th, Crucified, Placed in a tomb And after 3 days, was resurrected.
KRISHNA: Born of the virgin With a star in the east signaling his coming Performed miracles with his disciples And upon his death was resurrected.
DIONYSUS born of a virgin on December 25th was a traveling teacher who performed miracles such as turning water into wine he was referred to as the “King of Kings,” “God’s Only Begotten Son,” “The Alpha and Omega,” and many others and upon his death, he was resurrected.
MITHRA: Born of a virgin On December 25th He had 12 disciples And performed miracles And upon his death was buried for 3 days And thus resurrected He was also referred to as “The Truth,” “The Light” Interestingly, the sacred day of worship of Mithra was Sunday.
Jesus Christ: Born on December 25th Three kings followed to locate and adorn the new-born savior
Let me be very clear, Im not looking for what people SAY it says in the ancient literature. There is an abundance of that available. I want to know where these people are getting their information because we can find no historical record of these claims in ancient history.
