Hollywood knows perfectly well how to make a good movie.

My thinking is that for the most part, the film industry is allowed to screw around making whatever junk it wants, with many of its workers (from the key grip to the production heads) believing that they really are doing what they can with the philosophies they personally generate. But if the top dogs decide that it is time for society to jump in a specific direction, then there are ways to ensure that the message is effective and powerful and respected. If, for instance, you want to sell torture to a populace, then you can do it easily enough; just pull together the known elements needed to connect with the people, (including good scripts), and out of five project, you're pretty much guaranteed to have three or four of them hit home. It isn't rocket science, but it is a science.

It's just as easy to kill a project which some upstart producer with the know-how is making which will spread the 'wrong' message.

Any history that claims the church was well-established at the time of the Council of Nicaea is so biased as to be worthless. Of course the official history of the church will make such a claim, but that's hardly surprising.

The proof of this is quite obvious if you think about it. The Council of Nicaea was held in 326. Only 13 years earlier (the date of the Edict of Milan, in 313), it was illegal to be Christian in the western empire, and as late as 320 this was true in the eastern empire. You would get your property confiscated and you could be thrown to the lions. Christianity was an illegal, underground cult during the earlier career of most, if not every participant at the Council of Nicaea. Furthermore, it was the council of Nicaea that established the first official creed and the first official Bible. It's hard to have a well-established church without those. (A divisive church rife with heresies, sure, but not a well-established church.)

It should be obvious that prior to 313 or 320 there must have been some other, tolerated religions in the Roman Empire, while the Christians were getting persecuted and martyred. These did not die out in the few years that passed before the Council of Nicaea. In fact, they were persecuted quite vigourously for centuries after. (The Olympic Games, for example, were a festival of Zeus, which was not suppressed by Christian authorities until 393.)

What does the official history of the Council of Nicaea tell us about these rival religions of Rome? Not much, of course. It's as if they did not exist. The real history was deleted, edited, and revised to emphasize the pre-eminence and universality of the church. You have to turn to modern archaeology and scholars of ancient pagan religion to determine what the actual situation was like, and they have been discovering that the pagan cults had many of the trappings of Christianity before Christianity even existed. But it remains a topic of discussion mostly for academics.

As for the connections between Christianity and the sun god, the most direct evidence is probably in the depictions of Emperor Constantine. On coinage he was associated with both "Sol Invictus" (a form of Apollo), and chi-rho (Christ). The New Catholic Encyclopedia mentions that at the dedication of Constantinople in 330 the Cross of Christ was placed over the head of the Sun-God's chariot. (This info and references for it can be found in the Wikipedia article on Constantine.) At any rate, the iconography of official religion mashed it all up during those years.

See my reply above for info on popular books on the subject. For a pro-Christian viewpoint, try the "The Pagan Christ" by Tom Harpur. For a colourful anti-Christian viewpoint, try this article from Nexus magazine. I take issue with some of its assertions, but it's well-referenced, so it's an informative and entertaining read regardless.

SugarBlues

In 1957, Dr William Coda Martin tried to answer the question: When is a food a food and when is it a poison? His working definition of "poison" was: "Medically: Any substance applied to the body, ingested or developed within the body, which causes or may cause disease. Physically: Any substance which inhibits the activity of a catalyst which is a minor substance, chemical or enzyme that activates a reaction."1 The dictionary gives an even broader definition for "poison": "to exert a harmful influence on, or to pervert".

Dr Martin classified refined sugar as a poison because it has been depleted of its life forces, vitamins and minerals. "What is left consists of pure, refined carbohydrates. The body cannot utilize this refined starch and carbohydrate unless the depleted proteins, vitamins and minerals are present. Nature supplies these elements in each plant in quantities sufficient to metabolize the carbohydrate in that particular plant. There is no excess for other added carbohydrates. Incomplete carbohydrate metabolism results in the formation of 'toxic metabolite' such as pyruvic acid and abnormal sugars containing five carbon atoms. Pyruvic acid accumulates in the brain and nervous system and the abnormal sugars in the red blood cells. These toxic metabolites interfere with the respiration of the cells. They cannot get sufficient oxygen to survive and function normally. In time, some of the cells die. This interferes with the function of a part of the body and is the beginning of degenerative disease."2

Vegetetable frickin' oil by suckmysav · 2007-04-23 16:51 · Score: 4, Informative · on FDA Considers Redefining Chocolate

"Vegetable oil" is a synonym for "heavily processed, hydrogenated oil which will kill you but makes good financial sense to the corporatised US food production industry"

It is poisonous bloody stuff. If you want to know why America (in particular) and western nations (in general) are all suffering out of control obesity and diabetes epidemics you need to look no further than the replacement of natural oils (peanut, coconut and butter), with so-called "healthy" polyunsaturates. Countries like India uses huge amounts of butter (ghee) and coconut oil and you don't see them with rampaging blood sugar levels, heart disease and all of the other side effects of eating crap like "Crisco" and margarines.

Ask yourself why these types of oils never spoil? If you leave margarine out of the refridgerator for a week, does it go off? Why? It doesn't go off because it is not bio-degradeable. If it is not biodegradable, then how is your body meant to metabolise it? Of course it can't, so what it does is "put it aside" and get on with the job of digesting everything else. After sufficient time of course your body will have put enough fat aside that you become fat. Fat builds up around the pancreas and voila, you've got diabetes.

So why do we eat this crap? Because US food interests want you to. The problem for US business interests is that most natural oils such as peanut, olive and coconut/palm oil are not produced in the US. The US does produce gobs of corn and soy however, not to mention that canola rubbish. The problem is that these crops do not produce much edible oil naturally, it has to be processed out of them. Another problem is that the resulting oils are quite unstable, meaning they react to oxygen (oxidize) quickly and spoil. This is a problem for the manufacturing, distribution and retail industries however, who really like long shelf lives and cheap storage (non-refrigerated). So what the industry does is to hydrogenate their oils, which means superheating the oil and passing it through hydrogen to fuse hydrogen molecules to the receptors that would normally fuse with the oxygen. This makes for an oil that is extremely stable but an unfortunate side effect is that it also becomes virtually undigestable. Sure you can eat it and you won't turn blue and die in a week, but then the same can be said for smoking too. Remember how corporate interests insisted that smoking couldn't hurt you until only a few years ago? Well the edible oil industry is no better than those criminals. They too use bogus science and massive amounts of money to produce a steady stream of lies and bullshit regarding the health benefits of eating processed vegetable oils. This began during the thirties and over time it has worked so well that the US is now the most overweight and unhealthy nation on earth, with other western nations scrambling to follow suit.

Now they want to stick that crap in chocolate. It's getting to the point that you wont be able to buy anything that isn't filled with this rubbish.
