Skank, have you ever had an origional thought of yer own on this subject or are you just regurgitating Youtube?. I mean, for somebody who's trying to raise awareness of an evil conspracy to..actually, ya haven't really made any points about why, so 'evil conspiracy' will have to do for now. Surely it would make more sense to post the links to the theories yer dissecting, or would that leave you with nothing to say.
Covers about most of it.

As for Zeitgeist, the solar messiah explaination is used to show where Christianity came from, but the point they were making is why it's stuck around since, political and 'social control'. Go find some masonic connections with the 'council of nicea' and worshipping the sun might have some relevance other than just being copied history. Shortly after yer Thomas Paine quote Proffessor David Griffin is heard saying...
Part of a lecture, quoted slightly out of context as the main topic was 9/11. It works to get their point across. If it was applied to Masonic conspiracy theories, I think it works too, especially if this part was left in also."In one sense, a myth is an idea that, while widely believed, is false, failing to correspond with reality.
In a deeper sense, which is employed by students of religion, a myth serves as an orienting and mobilizing story for a people, a story that reminds them who they are and why they do what they do. When a story is called as a myth in this sense—which we can call Myth with a capital M—the focus is not on the story's relation to reality but on its function. This orienting and mobilizing function is possible, moreover, only because Myths with a capital M have religious overtones. Such a Myth is a Sacred Story.
However, although to note that a story functions as a Myth in the religious sense is not necessarily to deny its truth, a story cannot function as a Sacred Myth within a community or nation unless it is believed to be true. In most cases, moreover, the truth of the Myth is taken on faith. It is not a matter of debate. If some people have the bad taste to question the truth of the Sacred Story, the keepers of the faith do not enter into debate with them. Rather, they ignore them or denounce them as blasphemers."
Considering they run the world already, the only purpose I can see for Masonic conspiracy theories, is Freemasons must generate them to identify people like you. Paranoia must suck. Plus. if yer gonna semi quote from a conspiracy theory film, I'd advise viewing all sides to it first."In many cases, however, stories that have served as religious Myths cannot stand up to rational scrutiny. When such a story is stripped of its halo and treated simply as a theory, rather than an unquestionable dogma, it cannot be defended as the best theory to account for the relevant facts."
"The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously." Herbert H Humphrey (Ironically, a Mason.):lol:

Masonic symbolism at specsavers....
I've used several sources for this information. I was only sourcing Zeitgeist to show how the winter solstice and Jesus' birth coincide. I wasn't using it to try to connect anything to Freemasonry, I was just expanding on a point that bleak made. And I'm far from paranoid, I just enjoy a good conspiracy.
Why don't you do everyone a favor and spare us the drama.
