I don't understand or like it that it has now become a staple of bitcoin culture to be deeply christian or spiritual. Not all liberty minded people are religious, and not all atheists are commies.
It seems like you have the narrative wrong. Jesus only revealed himself to his disciples. There were not thousands of witnesses. Even then, witnessing something over 2000 years ago is not relevant proof today. All these claims can’t be proven.
It’s also funny that you want research for the claim that people witnessed Muhammad’s ascent to heaven but you’re perfectly fine accepting that Jesus rose from the dead. Both acts are impossible but you have a bias that lets you disregard logic when it comes to your religion.
I can’t share any books because I don’t really care. It’s not a great use of your time but this was the first thing that came up on Google:

You’re missing the point though. Why don’t you read the books written by atheists who converted to Hinduism or Buddhism or Islam? Why not read about Scientology? What about all the religions of ancient native Americans? What about the indigenous tribes living in Alaska? For hundreds of years these people were isolated from your religion. Are they all going to hell? They never even heard of Jesus and when they did it was forced upon them. Read about native Americans being tortured and killed for refusing to accept Jesus as lord and savior. Why should they believe you? Your claims are not facts. They can’t be proven. Your religion is no better than any other. It lacks logic like the rest of them.

Historically it has been the opposite. The Austrian economists were atheists and religions have always required their followers to pay taxes to the church and redistribute wealth to the poor. “Oh you’re not one of us? Burn him alive!” I believe there’s a misunderstanding of history among these people. They romanticize the past as if it was a better time. A time when slavery was common and women were property. Why doesn’t religion end these things? Nobody talks about this dirty side.
Yet many of the Austrians today are Catholic and Christian. Why?
There are ones that are also Jewish. Saifedean is Muslim. Pretty sure there are Hindu and Buddhist Austrian economists too. So which way do we go now? My point was the original ideas were born from atheists because they go against religious teachings that require taxation and redistribution of wealth. They are Austrian economists despite their religious backgrounds not because of it. They are not the norm.
The way of Truth. I’ll pray my daily rosary for you every day this week. God bless.
Many Bitcoiners - at least those I know - are generally interested in pursuing truth, hence why they are bitcoiners. If you had curiosity, you may wonder why so many end up being Christians…and actual dig into that. But many that own bitcoin aren’t interested in truth - just NGU
