I did watch the first few minutes of it, which I found was going over ground that most theologians are aware of. It was a bit simplistic and I couldn't really be bothered to watch the entire half hour to say what I thought of it, based on the first ten minutes. Maybe it started making different points later on, I don't know.

What do you think it was trying to tell you, Katczinsky, and what did *you* think of it?

If the point of it is to say that Christianity doesn't have a monopoly on a mythos that involves resurrection, the Sun and the winter solstice, then that's not really news. If there's more to it than that, then I may watch the whole thing, but I'd prefer to know what point you're trying to raise before I do that.
