But why is worshipping bitcoin bad?

Why is showing reverence, adoration, or deep respect toward bitcoin bad?

And why would devoting yourself to bitcoin be bad? Bitcoin is greater than all of us after all. If worshipping god is good, then why wouldn’t worshipping other lesser, but still good, things like bitcoin be considered evil?

My thoughts are that God can only exist if we believe in Him, and we only exist because of God.

If we were to stop worshipping God and turn our devotion toward something else, God would cease to be and, in turn, so would we.

That is why worshipping something other than God is not good.

If god ceases to exist when we stop worshipping him, then is god really worthy of worship?

That question kinda assumes that divine worth = self-sufficiency and power.

Maybe devine worth = relationality and love

If that was the case, shouldn’t I worship rational humans that love me?

But people worship each other and then stop all the time. Celebrities and politicians are heroes until they’re enemies. Those people existed before and after the worship.

Yeah, people like that have been around for a long time.

But they don’t cease to exist after the worship stops is my point

Okay? 🤔

You argued that we need to worship god or he ceases to exist. But this rule doesn’t apply to other beings.

That's what I think, sure. But why should it apply to other beings?

It doesn’t but if these rules are universal then they should apply to everyone

I do think that if humanity stops believing in itself, it will die.

I don't want to argue against this point because it's something that is unlikely to ever happen

I do wonder... Based on the nihilism that seems to continue growing.

I still doubt it. There will always be hipsters who hedge the other way.
