Best DISINFO piece of work in the last 10 years. Truly a brilliant movie

It's simple.
One part deals with 9/11 theories, the other is a clumsly attempt to destroy the Christian Faith.

Most people aren used to judge a book, or documentary or even public figure as a whole, instead of debating the parts, or individual merits.

It's human nature.

Therefore most of the audience will either be convinced both 9/11 was an inside job AND Christianity is a false religion

OR

Christianity can't be false therefore 9/11 theories are BUNK.

It is a deliberate attempt at psychological manipulation.

The Jesus part is done badly on purpose I think, the claims are sloppy and do not hold to scrutiny at all. And trying to debunk a 2000 old religion via short segments stating outrageous facts is obviously very hard.

Therefore I am inclined to believe the purpose of the movie is 90% to discredit the 9/11 truth movement.

Either way, no matter if you agree with the movie or you think it's all bogus, they have reached their goal.

What do you think?

I do agree with you wholeheartedly that the first part about religion was done very sloppy and that the film failed at tying the first part to the last 2 parts, however I think that the last 2 parts were done remarkably well and I don't believe there was any deliberate plan at disinfo.

So basically this is how I felt after watching the film: 1st part - didn't feel convinced of the claims made or implied, didn't feel any imminent danger to self or concern to change. 2nd part and 3rd part - definitely more convinced of the claims made and more concerned about state of things and hoping for change, and finally felt confused at how the first part relates to the last 2 parts.

That was just my feeling after it so I can't really say if it had any subversive goals or not, I certainly didn't feel any, if anything, I would rather have the film made than not made, at least it makes me question more what I see, or hear, or read out there.
