Interesting, to me, coming from total bitcoin/economic ignorance.
If anyone adds explanations to some of these aspects, I will read each one with i tent to learn. šš½
This is a good one for a start:

I erase Christianity and agree with nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2qtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtjw3k8zcmp8pervct409shwdtwx45rxmp4xseryerdx3ehy7f4v3axvet9xsmrjdnxw9jnsuekw9nh2ertwvmkg6n5veen7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4js2ml2z8.
Did ya all know: You can just do booth.
I'd say religion as a whole, not necessarily christianity. Aside from that nailed it.
I'm agnostic myself.

Yes. I never expected my faith in Christianity would be restored but here we areā¦ fully stacked and going to sunday service
I'd like to read about that. I'm agnostic, blt I go to church with my family (my wife is a christian). I feel nothing.
I find myself locked TF in at church now. The parallels between Christās teachings and what bitcoin fixes canāt be overstated.
Jesus promoted radical equality at a time when the Roman state was incredibly hierarchical and oppressive. Bitcoin provides financial sovereignty beyond the state.
See, I think that Jesus, as a historical figure, was a great teacher. It's the whole "son of God" part I struggle with.
How does Christianity fit in with āVerify, donāt trustā ethos
How aboutā¦ 1 Thessalonians 5:21 āTest all things; hold fast what is good.ā Or Proverbs 14:15 āThe simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps.ā
Our faith is not blind.
Spitting back out words from a 2000yo text in no way proves the point you think it does.
Then approach it from first principles. We know that Jesus Christ is the most famous man to ever live. His birth has split time into two different eras. He was either crazy or He is who He said he was.
Itās also worth mentioning that some of the most brilliant Bitcoiners happen to be Christian as well. DYOR
Thatās trustingā¦.
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.
āIncredible amounts of evidenceā, āeye witness accountsā from 2000 years ago. Iām not arguing that people are āfinding Christā¦following Jesusā because an individual can do as they please. My argument was how did the original ābitcoin fixes thisā 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.
Jesus Christ people, I have read the Bible front to back in many different versions.
John 20:29
Jesus said unto him, āThomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.ā
It is literally in the religion to believe in something you cannot prove. The burden of proof is on Christiansā¦not the other way around.
That being said, I donāt care what you believe. Iām atheist as hell but know the Bible front to back. Studied it for 15 years straight because I love history and psychology.
it doesn't. at all. just some fucking jesus freaks wanting everything to prop up their novel
nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvlsh0sx did list enlightenment ideals just before Christianity suggesting he supports keeping religion out of government affairs which is an objectively good practice. Maybe he can clear that up.
I'm sure all the hindus, jews, buddhists, muslims and atheists don't think that when they say bitcoin fixes this.
Separate church from bitcoin š
Christianity is a middle eastern religion and has no place in a white country
Worshiping Christianity as a white man is like black guy worshiping Quetzalcoatl
- high trust culture
šš¤£š The anti-Christian cope in your replies is priceless!
