First of all, I would just like to praise you for pointing out how stupid Truthtrekker was for saying the etymology of the word religion was "the repeating of a lie", which only a very credulous person could possibly believe. That being said, I was rather displeased with your dismissal of The Zeitgeist Movement as just another "conspiracy theory". Now, I know that some of the things Peter Joseph says are questionable, but to compare it with NWO nonsense is to do a great injustice to TZM.

@ja524309 I would have to look at it again in full but I don't think I mentioned TZM at all. At the start I did mention "the Zeitgeist stuff" but that was in reference to the first Zeitgeist film rather than the movement which was more, I take, was more based on the later ones. The first film was a conspiracy theory film and pretty much based on the crazy ideas of Jordan Maxwell.

Do you believe religio was first.Religio is in english lettering and you know hebrew and greek was before english..We wont know if they translated the scriptures to english are true..thats why cracks are small to find truth.

@foreverilive First of all, English uses the Latin alphabet. The language of the English church was Latin until the Reformation. The ecclesial terms in English all derive from the Latin ones. The word "religion" is from the Latin "religio" - they actually have the same meaning. Check any etymological dictionary - there is really no arguing this point. It is a fact.

Religion is spelled in english so we have no choice but to say LIG is the root word..The word lig in the websters dictionary was updated after the early 1900s to be hidden from people like you who like to do research but is never that easy..METAPHORS are not for everybody to solve..

[labarum312]

@foreverilive "religion" is derived from the Latin "religio". There is no doubt about that. Do some research before making yourself look foolish. Try, for example, an etymological dictionary. Many English words actually come from Middle Frech through the Norman invasion which in turn is derived from Latin. Most words dealing with religious matters are directly from Latin since that was the language of the English Church until the Reformation. I guess, for you, ignorance is bliss.

every word you speak is in english..you know better that the same word in two or more languages means something else....bicho means dick to puerto ricans but mexicans it means roach..thats why lig is mentioned because is the english pronounciation.

I think it's great that you made this video. truthtrekker actually tries to convince people that when they die, they are going to burn in the Sun for eternity. he and user "aangelmichael" have formed a really horrible sect and they try to persuade people to have sex with members of their own family.
