Probably because Venus (Aphrodite) has something to do with birth or rebirth, it also just sounds kinda cool and catchy.

lord xyz is perfect cult material. Make sure they keep that ego well fed, xyz.

Because when you die you go to heaven and meet slightly overweight Greek chicks that are always virgins no matter how many times you bang them.

Is it really?

indeed

look up the water motor, the star child project, illuminati theories, etc.

They all offer revolutionary visions of the future, like communism and religion.

something that promises to be revolutionary, will not be, imho

all the venus Project is trying to suggest is that better technology coupled with a fair society; one which is not run by corrupt banks and governments....would completely change things for us

Cult: followers of an exclusive system of religious beliefs and practices

Key word: Religious

Has anyone even looked at the website?

I regret not seeing this earlier: "The Venus Project is a educational think tank operating out of a 25-acre Research Center located in Venus, Florida. "

a new system is needed. the current one does not honour life.

it was created to enslave you see

There are groups that have been classified as political cults etc.

"The Venus Project is a educational think tank operating out of a 25-acre Research Center located in Venus, Florida. " - cult.

But all that means is that it's a group of people devoted a certain type of beliefs that differs from the mainstream.

Not really a bad thing.

Just like the Nazis.

nothin like the nazis.

it is actually now time to expand our conciousness. we are being held in a low vibrational state. the world is being controlled by dark forces and its really plain to see. wakey wakey

we need to understand reality, the elite understand the nature of reality we are experiencing and have worked tirelessly to manipulate the structure of society and the information thats allowed to circulate in society to keep the people in total ignorance of the very reality that they are experiencing. and how can we possibly be free in a world where we dont even know what the world is, we dont know who we are, we dont know the nature of reality we are experiencing and if we dont start to get an understanding of that information then we are in trouble.

the world is at breaking point now and they are planning to drag us further down.

The Venus Project presents a bold, new direction for humanity that entails nothing less than the total redesign of our culture. There are many people today who are concerned with the serious problems that face our modern society: unemployment, violent crime, replacement of humans by technology, over-population and a decline in the Earth's ecosystems. As you will see, The Venus Project is dedicated to confronting all of these problems by actively engaging in the research, development, and application of workable solutions. Through the use of innovative approaches to social awareness, educational incentives, and the consistent application of the best that science and technology can offer directly to the social system, The Venus Project offers a comprehensive plan for social reclamation in which human beings, technology, and nature will be able to coexist in a long-term, sustainable state of dynamic equilibrium.

The plans for the Venus Project offer society a broader spectrum of choices based on the scientific possibilities inherent in current technology and direct that knowledge toward a new era of peace and sustainability for all cultures. Through the implementation of a resource-based economy, and a multitude of innovative and environmentally friendly technologies directly applied to the social system, The Venus Project proposals will dramatically reduce crime, poverty, hunger, homelessness, and many other pressing problems that are common throughout the world today.

One of the cornerstones of the organization's findings is the fact that many of the dysfunctional behaviors of today's society stem directly from the dehumanizing environment inherent in the existing monetary system. Moreover, the currently utilized random implementation of automation and other technologies have resulted in a fragmented, self-defeating trend occurring throughout the manufacturing and high-tech sectors of today's global economy--namely the technological replacement of human labor by machines. The Venus Project proposes a social system in which automation and technology would be intelligently applied and integrated into an overall social design where the primary function would be to maximize the quality of life rather than profits. This project also introduces a set of workable and acceptable human values that are more appropriate and in balance with our present state of technology.
