What is the problem with Zeitgeist?

To give a bit of background, i have watched Zeitgeist, Zeitgeist Addendum, and the Zeitgeist Orientation, all more than once.
I have extensively looked into the arguments put forward in the first Zeitgeist movie, and i have found some (minor) points to have been legitimately debunked, but i have not found compelling evidence telling me that any of the 3 parts of the movie are false.
for example, part 1, if Jesus really did the things he has been claimed to have been done, then why are there so many similarities between him, and predating godmen like krishna and mithra? http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_jcpa.htm
an example from part 2: there were NO JET ENGINES in Pennsylvania. are we to believe that they disintegrated upon impact, presumably from jet fuel, which would have been the most explosive substance in the crash, which by the way, they were literally designed to withstand?
example from part 3: every quote in it.
while this is by FAR not an exhaustive list, only select examples, i'm sure people answering might say that i have little backing my argument, but, as you will read, this is not the actual point of my question.

in fact, my question deals much more so with the Zeitgeist Movement, outlined in Zeitgeist Addendum and defined in Zeitgeist Orientation, than the conspiracies of the first Zeitgeist movie.
The reason i have talked about the first movie at all is because otherwise answerers would attempt to discredit the subsequent movies based on the first one, which as i have shown is not even close to being debunked.
To those who know what the Zeitgeist Movement is and what it deals with, namely the Venus Project and resource based economies, and yet do not agree with it or are hostile towards it, why is this? Why would you be against the fellowship of humanity and the end of monotonous labor as we know it? To those who do not know what the Zeitgeist Movement is or what it deals with, i strongly encourage you to watch the Zeitgeist Orientation found at
http://zeitgeistmovie.com
it is 1.5 hours long, and whether you agree with it or not, in my opinion well worth your time.
so once again, back to my question what reason do people have to disagree with the proposals put forward by the Zeitgeist Movement?

"What is the problem with Zeitgeist?"

It's textbook agit-prop which by its very existence undermines the causes it purports to support such as investigating corruption in religious institutions, government bodies, and financial institutions.

Seriously....Zeitgeist is natural propaganda. Not handiest do they opt for absolutely the worst mild always, however there are matters which can be simply factually flawed. It is correct that a lot of Christianity is copied from different myths. The flood tale is the satisfactory illustration. But if you're going to base your disbelief on simply that, I'd inspire you to do a little bit extra studying. The Bible says a donkey talked. Now that by myself is whatever you'll be able to wrap your notion round. The flood tale is bodily unimaginable on many, many, many phases with out even watching at geology that claims it did not. I stopped believing it round 10. But Zeitgeist is approximately the worst cause I might arise with. Frankly it does extra damage than well.

Addressing Part 1, you only mention 2 of the people on the list of hundreds, and on that list, the two you mentioned are one of the FEW which have ANYTHING in common with Christ. They mentioned the Buddha on the list, false, the mentioned Dionysus on the list, false, they mentioned practically every single god possible on the list and most always this is false. It was a horrible mistake on their part, they could have had a greater argument without lying.
