Hey everybody just wanted some feedback on religion. Just to get it out of the way I am an atheist and always have been. My belief is that for society to advance in anyway religion needs to be expelled from the minds of all mankind. There is no reason for people to be naive enough to prescribe to these beliefs that originated in ancient times. Not to mention the ones blatantly contrived in recent times i.e. mormonism and scientology. Imo the ”benefits” and ”comforts” religion grants to some is not justified by the unacceptable multitude of unnecessary conflict and de-unification of man. Its time to yank the pacifier out of the mouth of the baby.

I don’t think vegan is good at all because we are not mean’t for that humans are omnivorous however local brings up a good point. Wasting energy and not to mention preservatives and chemicals so I’d have to say eating local is the best but not easy. Personally I just try to limit my intake of unneccesary chemicals and additives.

free ?
Let’s do it LOL! Like V For Vendetta…the V’s everywhere.

You know what would be cool and we could do it on the move but it may be pricey so its just an idea for the future. http://www.andymartinentertainments.co.uk/lightingphotos/Laser%20Logo%20Advertising%20Daniels%20Fish%20&%20Chips%20-%20Logo%203.JPG
and i never used the makeshift signs afterwords so I think next time i make another bunch we should leave them in strategic places. Also other than the laser thing there is a way to project image form vehicles but the device may be pricey as well. I think the cheapest thing to do a roll of drawing paper to can be as long as you need and then just tape it on something and when are we meeting again…like in person you know that what im all about.
Also if we chip in for a big ass board like i used at my event we just walk around with while the rest of the group gives out cards flyers movies etc it we would be come a moving interactive billboard on a budget. AS A MATTER OF FACT …After we do the NYU thing Diego lets make that the next project. I’ll do more of the coordinating on that one. Let me know your thoughts.

Those are good ideas dont get me wrong getting the name out there is essential, but i was thinking more of a brochure or a pamphlet that have the core mission and directs to the movies and the movement and Venus projects websites.

I think love is an outdated notion similar to religion. Love is essentially synonymous with care albeit on a little of a higher level but just the same and should not be an exclusive term it should just be applied to everything good in our world. As in you should love your planet unconditionally and everything on it save for a few exceptions such as the monetary system etc.

Hey everybody I was just thinking about recruitment and the material available while thorough and informative are a little long winded and whether anyone has planned or is constructing a smaller pamphlet for new members because the reality is people have been conditioned to have short attention spans and we need something simple to grasp their attention and one they see they can investigate further through the new member guide and additional information.
It is funny that you should mention this because I was thinking in similar terms for example… I had donated time to the Ron Paul Presidential Campaign in the following ways.
1. My husband had a huge banner made & signs & our groups would meet-up in places where there was lots of traffic. We would stand outside (in the freezing cold) and hold up these signs on sign day.
2. My husband had designed a two sided postcard that was easy to leave anywhere and put into the hands of people.
3. We also would do sign day in a different way by actually going out in the middle of the night and covering our towns with Ron Paul signs. What type of reaction do you think that got in the morning when people got up to go to work the next day and entire towns had signs all over them? I bet ppl went to work/home and looked up Ron Paul.
4. I also went out with my son and hung those cards on ppl’s mailboxes with a rubber band that I had previously stapled to the card so that it was easy to hang on knobs etc.
5.We also gave away bumper stickers, pamphlets & C.D’s that the campaign had made from all the donations that came in. People even made c.d’s and gave them away. People made anything they could.
It helped, I think. Got people looking and joining the ”revolution”
Here’s an idea: print free business cards with just this on it (you can post on bulletin boards in coffee houses, bars, libraries, etc.):

Did you try Adobe Pagemaker or Adobe Illustrator? Maybe you could mess with MSWord and create your own brochure with the key points on any of the ZM & TVP sites.
Those are good choices… The End The Fed Group put out a BROCHURE w/ three sides. They were similar to slim jims as they referred to them but they had the three flaps–two of which were folded down to create a brochure. Inside was all information on the Illegal Federal Reserve & the bill information to ”END THE FED”. These are great ideas from freedom movements that we definitely need to replicate on a full scale. It generated an entire movement and got people LOOKING INTO RON PAUL & the END THE FED movements. It got people thinking and educating themselves. We need that kind of zeal. Also, I will never forget the HUGE RON PAUL BLIMP that flew in the skies over several cities. Most ALL of these things were done by individuals & groups with the desire and resourcefulness to get it done. There are endless ways to spread the word.
Lately, what I have been doing, in addition to thinking in the advertising realm, brochures, cd’s etc. I have been writing letters to different key members of the various freedom movements to try to inspire them to put some effort into this movement. We will see what happens.
Yes people have made pretty good pamphlets that we could use. Here is a link. http://zday2010.org/zday-toolkit
We plan on following Gilberts advice and focusing on Focused Projects. Focusing on one problem and solution, like hunger, can get people to start thinking about a resource based economy.
There may be a problem with the ’focused’ approach. We advocate a holistic system. The issue with all the other activist institutions is that they focus on a particular problem. If we are to look at specific problem, I think it should be social inequality.
Yes I agree with you. But the focused approach is just to get people interested in one aspect that draws them to the idea of a resource based economy.

Well I think everyone is doing the best they can at this stage there will be a time in the future where people will be able to do more for now id say drinking local water is best especially in the ny area where we have some of the best water available. I would say trade in your suvs if possible and use less fossil fuels another thing is to take your money out of the banking system especiall bank of america etc as these are just cartels for the elite also staying away from the stock market as it has no contribution to the advancement of the human race. Also arguably the best thing you can do is spread the word and educate everyone you come in contact with we have to break the indoctrination the establishments have on the people and thats the best way to advance the movement

Matt did you see Religulous by Bill Maher?
I have that movie if find it to be sooooooo funny. If Anyone hasn’t seen it and wants to plan a movie night let me know.
Totally dude I’ve got it on my PS3 along with my great collection of truth-Zeitgeist 1 & 2 and Loose Change.
So yo Roy Dora lets do it. Three of us and i’ll bring a friend u bring a friend and any other zmembers who wanna join I’m in times square unless any of youz wanna host. I was chillin in central park this sunday with a fellow zmember and her brother and law just walkin in central park we got into a little zconvo and had a good time.
Sounds great! (sigh)alas I live in CT-dubbed THE most expensive state in the ’Union’. I haven’t had employment in almost 14 months and I cannot afford the train. It pains me-and yes I know I shouldn’t but I feel the burden ten fold of this economic deficiency to the point of embarrassment. Remember, I was the one with three tickets, one ’friend’(see my other new post)to go with and not ENOUGH money to take the train. I’m so stressed and I could really use the support of my like-minded Z-Friends. you guys who have each other as company and support have no idea what it’s like to have no one to talk about ”our” truth with in this ”Neo-Christian” family(or friends). I guess I’ll have to be there in your thoughts Rob…-Roy
Dude, pick your spirits up if you can, thats bad for your health. I agree you def could use some support and I do remember the post so…let me know how much it is for a round trip and I’ll go chill over there for a bit when i can. I got a cousin out there and maybe I can see you both if your near by each other. I was thinking if you want to make a mini documentary on the trip, we can capture your thoughts and put them on the web. You would be the first person I would be doing a more dynamic interview with then my recent Z-member interviews. We can plan something out. It could be like a simpler version of ”Collapse” or something like that. I think it would be fun and I feel everyday people need to get more of a spotlight, so many experts – a lot of them gain their expertise through a collected feedback of everyday citizens. So if we are that important then I want to work on giving us some shine. Let me know if youre down. Peace.
Heh, if depression was that bad for me I’d be dead for sure by now, dude. We all have to deal with what we have to deal with. I cannot change my past and I cannot see the future, I am trying to live for today…It’s just a lonely walk down this road of mine. I appreciate the sentiment Rob-you sound like you are very motivated and just to let you know it’s $25 per person round trip-unless it went up again since Z-Day. But seriously dude, times are hard and I don’t want you to put yourself out of that money just to come and try to make me feel better.
Zeitgeist is one of the only things I have as a beacon of light to shine on this dark world of misery. I know that Peter and Jacques saw what I saw-just in individuals-never mind the world as a whole, individuals who would otherwise be friends and lovers being underhanded, sneaky and backstabbing to try to maintain their own ideals of survival and self-worth. We are constantly being adjusted to fit the wants and desires of individuals who don’t care at all about our health or well being. That is the basis of a class war, to pit ourselves against each other-anyone who is not of the elite class is being molded to be completely selfish and self centered in an effort to survive in order to cause enough stratification to actually depopulate and make more room for the rich and their NWO. Less people are easier to control after all.
From U.S. policies constantly being tightened and incredible amounts of debt based capital being irresponsibly wasted to our food and water being literally poisoned and stripped of all nutrition it seems we are merely the mice in a maze that has a trap at the finish. I try to be optimistic, I REALLY do-but I must see things clearly and realistically-90% of planet Earth’s population refuses to see the light of truth-too many of us feel helpless and the rest won’t even look in truth’s direction for fear that it would disrupt the little world that they created with the help from their self appointed masters. It’s true, everyday many of us are just glad no big disaster has come-we sigh in relief that we avoided the complete collapse, we’re not in the streets yet picking through dumpsters for our next meal or watching soldiers and tanks marching down the streets. Like Peter says-”We will be trained to accept less and less in order to prepare us for the worse things to come.”
It seems that too many people think that movements are bullshit and they can’t change the way things are in general. And what is one of our greatest fears in this movement? Perhaps that when the time for everyone to act finally comes IT WILL BE TOO LATE!! The roads will be blocked by some strange private military. Early curfews will be mandatory and so will bomb threat drills and fear and hopelessness will be the only thing Americans feel at that point. We are already at the doors of this fate, I cannot live in denial of that-no matter what fantastic ideas this movement and other like-minded individuals come up with. It may have taken 200 years but these ”Individuals” have taken control to the point of our downfall. That’s why movements like this exist in the first place-it’s a reaction-but it’s a reaction from a people that woke up in a sinking ship, and the land(our salvation)is hundreds of miles away.
Okay, so I don’t want to end this grossly bloated response to your outward kindness on a negative note-thank you so much, Roberto, for stretching out your hand to someone caught up in this collapse like the rest of us-and on a lighter note-I’d love it if you would check out and see what my passion is when I’m not trying to ”Fight the Power”: http://artbistro.monster.com/member/cuttingedgecomix –Let me know what you think!
Well thanks for getting back to me bro. The thing is if you want socienty to be supportive you have to set an example. I wasnt always like this and thats why i believe in the venus project. We can change –> things can change, we always are going through changes and so is society. As far as going out there what i meant by collapse was the movie collapse. Did you see it? I looking to make documentaries in the future and interviewing you would be one of those projects that can help promote the movement just as the smaller interviews are doing little by little. Even if one makes a huge connection with people it will cause a chain reaction as to what is the rest of his work like and I hope to have a coolection of individuals from all walk of life supporting movements like these and showing people other who relate to them. Times like these are signs of how disconnected we are and I want to do my part to connect people once that happens our concerns will broaden and our appreciation will show in how we treat each other. As we see at times here in the movement. Yes man the art is hot. Wish I knew how to use the computer programs as you do. The political stuff, comic books and hentia stuff, good stuff. I used to love drawing ninja turtles ahahaha.
Thanks for sharing. If anything is unclear in this message let me know, the window to respond is so tiny i can fit about 7 charcters lol
I’ll bring LOCAL popcorn
I get some organic juice
i agree, im completely not religious, however i am spiritual, i find peace by studying nature and the universe(how we are all connected exp were all star dust… but that’s just me lol). really the ”benefits” and ”comforts” some people feel by religion is really just the feeling of being connected with thing’s around you(and i think we are scientifically) , where it goes ape sh*t is how people used this position of comfort / connections and twisted it to there desire of power, start brainwashing them and teaching them not to question but to believe blindly in what ever they say and anyone that proposes something different is wrong that needs to be saved or is working for the devil… When ever i talk to someone who is religious ( by asks the ? do i believe in god ) and i usually can effectively communicate with them, i explain i don’t believe blindly what people have written down, that’s a story no more then i believe in a fairy tale. But i do believe in is this universe and that were all made of of the same stuff and were all on this earth our mother and that all the traits we share vastly aweigh the differences, and that you are my brother of earth and i try to view my world in this perspective and i think that’s a better message to believe then i cant eat meat on Friday and if i do ill burn for eternity… then i ask How about you? lol
yea and religulous is awesome
Great little piece there Thomas-more beautiful(should be)common sense made. As Jaques Fresco stated-”The first thing a person needs to do is admit THEY DON’T KNOW”–It’s when we invent things out of thin air and say their so without any sort of foundation other than ”common belief or interest” do we really start fucking up the natural order of the emergent universe. In this way, EVERYTHING proposed by theology can be a direct contravention of reality, the natural order and the true design of action and reaction which everything abides by.
We were given unnatural ideas/ideals to try to explain away fears that we or others put into us out of insecurity and a sense of lack of control over our surroundings in general. For even death could be looked at without fear if you understood the natural laws of energy transferal. Instead we are given a proposed artificial value and ideal on our ”souls”.
wow precisely put Roy
Yes i saw religulous great film.
I been an atheist for about 17 years. I was never really religious but I believed because everyone else did. As much as I would love to see religion expelled, to put it bluntly, that shit isn’t going anywhere any time soon. I have the movie religulous also. If you have seen it, at the end where it shows all those believers, it’s depressing and scary. I think society will grow and religion will fade which seems to be happening now in america. Ever so slowly. I don’t see how it will fade first then society changes.
”A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be”
Belief has always seemed to me to be a flaw in the scheme of things. Nothing functions from popularity, faith or opinion-it functions when people use things like progressive ideas, science and technology to achieve their, wants, needs, goals and desires. Differing opinions and beliefs in the form of things like Religion are ways to try to explain the unexplainable and why we constantly open our minds to TREASON against ourselves and our environment.
So yes it is another ”trick” of sorts to sate the immature and naive in order to give the corrupt power so they can further corrupt and exploit others to encourage dominance and fake ideals of ownership. Which is what happens when religion tries to put intrinsic value on something intangible as ”the soul”. History is proof positive that mankind can’t handle the responsibility of any kind of ”spiritual relationship” with invisible gods.
