  • A comment on Conversation: Can God be defined?

    Mar 14 2013: I was raised Catholic, then became Christian and now I feel I am simply a truth seeker.

    I feel a creator could exist but would be some form of energy that we simply do not understand. So at this point "God" would be undefined. We simply do not understand enough about the universe to truly define a God or God's.

    No one has ever traveled out into the far reaches of space to see for themselves what exists out there and why it is there.

    I appreciate the atheists and theists views, but really we have no absolute truth as of yet what it all means and why. We have logic, assumptions, science, theories, etc, but still it leaves one wondering what is really out there and why?

    Personally I feel God would have to be defined as an energy source of immense power. However this is just my speculation.
  • A comment on Conversation: Is capitalism sustainable?

    Mar 7 2013: The Venus Project (Google it) shows an idea of what society could be like without capitalism. Eventually humanity will realize for its own sake that something like the Venus project will be needed if we are to survive as a race.

    Yes capitalism is fully entrenched at this moment especially in the western world, but with much effort it could be changed if humanity had enough desire to do so.

    We forget nothing on this earth is lasting or etched in stone as the be all system or thing. However humans resist change and with limited time facing so many people just trying to survive, change would be very hard at this point.

    Still, The Venus project gives us all a glimpse of what is so far the closest vision so far that seems workable for all.
