Here's a claim made by Zeitgeist:

"And after this time (the winter solstice) on December 25th, the Sun moves 1 degree, this time north, foreshadowing longer days, warmth, and Spring. And thus it was said: the Sun died on the cross, was dead for 3 days, only to be resurrected or born again."

The one bit I'm wondering about (that CS's response to part 1 didn't address) was the claim that the sun "moves 1 degree" in the three days between the solstice (the 22nd) and December 25th. Since the sun moves from -23.5 degrees on the winter solstice to +23.5 degrees on the summer solstice, totaling about 47 degrees, I find it hard to believe that the sun can move a full degree in the three days after the solstice, when it's moving its slowest. Does anyone know how much it actually does move in the three days after the solstice? I tried googling the answer, but can't find anything but other Christ-myther websites that repeat the "1 degree" claim. Any help would be appreciated.

It seems to me that the number of degrees the sun changes would be the same no matter where on Earth you are. Its relative starting and stopping points will be different, of course, but the relative "change" will be the same. It seems to me that if you were on the equator and watched as the sun appeared to move a single degree north, someone in, say, Rome will also have seen the sun move a single degree north. He just would have seen it happen closer to the horizon than you did. Am I wrong about this?

zeitgiest logic would claim that everything we have been told about calculating the suns position has been manipulated by he government LOL.
