How does Christianity fit in with “Verify, don’t trust” ethos

Incredible amounts of evidence, for those interested to look, even aside from the powerful effect on lives and societies when people truly follow Jesus.

There are unheard-of numbers of very early manuscripts, eyewitness accounts, etc., though most tyrants in our world tend to hate news of a higher King.

Truth matters, and in the Bitcoin-related search for truth, it seems many are finding Christ.

But yes, you're right, trust is part of faith. It's wise to verify, and make sure what you're trusting in is true.

Much like settling on BTC as sound money. Find what's true.

“Incredible amounts of evidence”, “eye witness accounts” from 2000 years ago. I’m not arguing that people are “finding Christ…following Jesus” because an individual can do as they please. My argument was how did the original “bitcoin fixes this” restore Christianity?

Ah. I was answering more of the "Don't trust, verify" part.

Not as a whole, I suppose. Bitcoin certainly doesn't make or break Christianity. But in the lives of Bitcoiners, this seems to be part of what it sometimes does restore.

It fits Biblical principles on money well - it's wrong to use "false weights", for example, using deception in trade. Or to move a neighbour's property markers to give yourself more land.

are those christian leaders done with fucking (read: raping) the children?

It's part of why I said people truly following Jesus.

Ones that are doing that, in the name of Christianity or any other belief, will face Him as a fearsome Judge.

He's the only one I know who's able to heal wounds this deep.
