Thank you very much for your kind words about my article. I am not an expert on Krishna, so it means a lot to me that a follower of Krishna compliments me on this post.

Also, thank you for your list. I think that is very helpful.

As a modern follower of Krishna, I want to make a few coments:

1.) I believe that the “He was transfigured in front of his disciples” refers to the eleventh chapter of teh Bhagavad Gita, but even so, there are no paralells with the Jesus story, as Krishna showed Himself to be teh entire universe. I am not shure how Jesus “transfuigured” himself

2.)The “second coming” may refer to Kalki Avatar who comes at the end of Kali Yuga to destroy all the wicked people of the Earth and one demon, but it is important to note the number of avatars Vishnu sends, 10 major and another 15 minor that are named, and dozens of others that are not on teh traditional list of 25. They ALL kill demons, it is why they come.

3.) The demonic king who tried to kill Krishna and His brother was named Kamsa

4.) there where devas at Krishna birth, chapter two on Bhagavat Purana, but the parents where unaware. There where no other humans, and no gifts.

5.) He did “raise” His brothers from the grave, but by going into hell and asking the king of death for them back. He didn’t just make them alive.

6.)I think the shepherd god is a referance to Krishna being a COWherd boy, Deva Dev means “God of gods”, which Krishna is known as

7.) Krishna was never poor, even as a child under the care of His adoptive parents, he was wealthy, as Nanda Maharaja was the cheif of the village.

I just want to point these out to help improve this wonderful article. I can source my info

You are a tremendous researcher!

“What about the other parts, such as the three stars pointing to the location to the east? “

I already explained this in post 6 of my refutation of Zeitgeist. — Linked here: http://explanationblog.wordpress.com/2008/12/03/the-myth-of-jesus-a-refutation-of-the-zeitgeist-part-6/

“Or all of the other religious figures that share the same attributes? These seem to support the maker of Zeitgeist. “

These false claims are refuted in parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of my refutation of Zeitgeist. — Read my entire series before assuming that I didn’t refute them.
Here’s the link that leads to all my posts:

“I also wonder if your refutations arent equally as fuzzy, such as the golden calf. Your supposition is no better than his.”

Uhhh, not really. Because I actually have a historical basis for my assumption. — Peter Joseph, the maker of Zeitgeist, does not.

Consider this: According to Exodus, when the Israelites made the golden calf, they had just come out of Egypt. So it is not illogical to suppose that the Calf was based on the Egyptian god Apis.

“I also doubt that any scholar would say for a fact that the knowledge of the precession of the equinoxes absolutely did not exist before Hipparchus. “

Then tell me why astronomers credit him with that discovery. — If you doubt it, give the evidence.

“Also how do you account for the many stories in the Bible that mirror much older stories written by pagans, such as the story of Noah and the great flood? Given the obvious mirroring (I am going to assume that even you wouldn’t try to refute that) why would it be so out of line to assume that other parts of the Bible mirror pagan beliefs/knowledge/traditions?”

The claim about Noah’s flood was refuted in part 8 of my refutation. — If it was copied from the Gilgamesh epic, as Zeitgeist claims, then one should expect literary dependence — That is, word similarities, and similar sentences and expressions. I READ THE GILGAMESH FLOOD STORY!!! — There ARE similar details, but THERE IS NO LITERARY DEPENDENCE, and that indicates that the scribe who wrote the Genesis flood story DID NOT copy the story from GILGAMESH. More likely, they had a common source.

Everything you have brought up has been refuted in my other posts on Zeitgeist. Read my other posts before you assume I don’t cover those topics.
