The Zeitgeist Movement,and the Venus Project are all about God and ?/His works. Let's not kid ourselves my fellow Zeitgeisters this movement can be considered a religion.
From Wikipedia
"Religion is a belief of some superhuman power or powers, in particular a god or gods, which usually involve obedience, reverence, and worship; and as part of a system which defines a code of living, especially as a way of achieving spiritual or material improvement.
In religious studies, religion has been described as a cultural system that creates powerful and long-lasting meaning, by establishing symbols that relate humanity to beliefs and values. Many religions have narratives, symbols, traditions and sacred histories that are intended to give meaning to life or to explain the origin of life or theuniverse. They tend to derive morality, ethics, religious laws or a preferred lifestylefrom their ideas about the cosmos and human nature."
Can you see how this paragraph can mirror what the Zeitgeist,and Venus Project are trying to do? Change the word God with the word Life,or Nature and it becomes clear to me that these movements are all about a religion and God. Only an Atheist (for the most part) would have a hard time believing this and that's too bad.
1. We want people to group together under a particular frame of mind "religiously" don't we?
2. Like people from the Abrahmic faiths who give praise to their particular God concept we would like people to praise Nature,or Life right? Our path of understanding would be the scientific method and like the Bible, this would be our method of studying this force called Nature/Life.
Without even knowing it these people from the Zeitgeist Movement/Venus Project, like Thomas Paine, speak pure Deism (God). Not "new age" stuff here,but old age thoughts about God. Because before man put God in a tabernacle,scroll,or book we looked towards the Creation in order to gain true insight on this Force that man rightly (IMO) calls God.
We want all types of people on board so when the Christian's say the Venus Project "is a religion" let's not deny,but comply.
Like the pure Deist who calls himself the "Christ Prophet" when people call him a Christian the subject is usually closed.
See " I am the Christ Prophet" video
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5_PNJ85Uww)
for a better understanding.
Why bring religion,or God into it you may ask? Because it's my personal opinion that no movement of this magnitude will ever get anywhere without this Eternal Life Force that man rightly calls God.
Again these movements are all about God IMO.
This video has just as much to do with the Christian as it does with todays understanding of what an Atheist is. For me they can be one and the same. Both of these organizations teach all about the god that isn't and so they belong together in the pure Deist's mind.
The Venus project should be called the Lucifer Project. Then at least it would be more honest to it's purpose and a Christian may want the second coming but does that mean they should also hop on board with something they were warned about?

You disgrace the true character of God with your devil god. One day I'll do a video to try and help you with this sinful thought.

@DeistReality how can just one person who believes in Christ who is just stating an opinion disgrace the character of anything? I have the right to my opinion, I have the right to change my mind, just as you do. And you are free to make a video because of our constitution. Better hurry you may not have that freedom much longer.

I was just saying that you've missed the mark and have fallen short from the glory of God. The glory of God being absolute truth. Sin is just another word for mistake and mistakes teach us how to get it right. I can help you break free from this devil thing ( that's disgraceful to God, because God wouldn't make such a thing) that clouds your mind with this "original sin complex" of yours.

@DeistReality You can teach me? Who are you to know the mind of God? My teacher is Christ. You are obviously full of pride and you obviously have an emotional investment in being right. I do not wish you any ill will. I stated my opinion and now I am done with this back and forth.

Yes I do have an "emotional investment in being right",and when I'm wrong its important for me to know when I am so that I can change my epistemology. The beautiful side of being a "pure" Deist is that I have the freedom to change my mind.
I never said that I "know the mind of God". I said "The glory of God being absolute truth". devils,and virgin births go against the laws of nature and fall short from the glory of God,or absolute truth. Peace to you as well.
