Companion Guide That Contains Sources For (Literally) Every Sentence


Just thought I'd give these people who are to lazy to search for the sources of this film and just call it wrong and say no sources are cited, the companion guide to this excellent film.

Ironic that you call 'these people' the lazy ones, while the only thing that you do is post some link on an internet forum. Have you bothered to check the validity of these sources? That was a rhetorical question.

"Sources for a source, sources for sources for a source.... damn it's a complete Möbius strip. ahhhh whatever..."
Well, this is all i can say.

Not literally every sentence. Not this one:

Not surprisingly, and after 2 previous assassination attempts, McFadden was poisoned at a banquet before he could push for the impeachment.


Just sayin'.

It only shows how falsely he interprets the sources. Leaving away what don't, he always picks up what suits his own beliefs with a total lack of source criticism.

"Hello I'm Frank, give her a donut"

Dude has a heavy case of confirmation bias.

Yea I looked at the supposed "sources". I had some doubts when it was directing me to some shady websites. Then I started doing some research my self. After finding that a majority of part 1 was simplified or false I didn't even bother any more. A good rebuttal to the companion guide is the website at the bottom. He looks at every point that was made in the movie and either supports it or denies it by credible sources that you can find. Bottom line this movie was a load of crap

I don't understand how a free movie can be false. Why would you want to ruin your reputation because of it? Besides, most movies make mistakes including movies based on fantasy. How do you know that the skepticproject.com site isn't fake? Many people will only believe what they want to hear.

So, what yoru sayign is, no one woudl evr lie if its for Free?

Come on, we've all been on the Internet logn enugh to se the proverbial 12 year odl claim to be a Doctorate holder in three feilds who graduated fromoxford. Peopel don't always lie for monitary gain, they sometimes lie just to promote their own biases.

EG, a lot of Atheists use an infamous "Prison Statistic" to shwo that Atheists are underrepresentedin prison, at 0.02% the Prison population but 10-15% the general population. The Stat has been debunked, but they still pass it alogn because it makes them feel better and they kno their fellow :"In yoru face" militant Atheists will go along with it. (No I don't think all Atheists are liek this, btu we all know many are.)

or what about visiting one of those "I'm a patriotic, Christian American" websits that begins to blather about Obama beign a Muslim and wantign to impose Shariah Law? Or that claism all Muslims are evil?

Or for that matter, Chrisian websites whoch dont make any real money off the claim sayign Allah was the Pre-Islamic pagan moon god? In fact, the Allah the moon god theory is a perfect parrallel tot he whole "jesus was the sun god' rubbish. Its propagated for free because it discreditsd a hated group and makes the Christians who buy into it feel superior orbetter about hatign them.

(No, not all Christians. I myself am a Christian. but many still push this view.)


People lie for free all the Time, and often just to support what they want ot be true.

Heck, for all we know, peter Joseph didnt so much lie, as he accepted as true all the claims from Acharya S.

Being mistaken sint a lie.

Lol, the rebuttal site is free, too, moron.
