Anybody use yeticold to setup a multisig wallet?
I appreciate your willingness to dialogue. I completely agree that the intent of the author is of utmost importance in understanding a text.
I take issue with your assessment that I am my own god. I don’t believe this. I believe each of us contain some element of divinity. Essentially what animates us and gives us life. I believe there’s scripture that alludes to this, but I don’t remember the passage right now.
I also agree that we shouldn’t read scripture and twist it to our own benefit. I’m curious, what tools do you use to help you interpret what you read well?
It’s more nuanced than that for me. I view the Bible as a text to be wrestled with. It’s never worked as a rule book, especially to hold over others who don’t start from the same assumptions. Again, I come back to fruit. How does my reading of scripture express itself in how I treat myself and those around me? If it leads to more life and peace, perfect. If it leads to disconnection and violence (physical or verbal), no good.
You’re free to interpret scripture as you see fit. In fact, I believe you owe it to yourself. I hope however you interpret it leads to more peace and joy in your life.
Heard. I’ve believed that in the past. It didn’t produce fruit for me. So far, assuming divinity in all does.
I like Brene Brown’s delineation between guilt and shame. Shame says “I am bad.” Guilt says “I did a bad thing.” In my experience, I act destructively when operating out of shame and constructively when operating from guilt. This framework has been really helpful to me when processing times that I acted out of alignment with my values.
I’d like to see a world where everyone is secure in their innate “goodness” but ready and willing to admit when they’ve acted poorly and take necessary steps to make amends. So less shame, more guilt.
I would say we live in a guilt deficit. People behave poorly and don’t know how to process the guilt of their behavior, which leads to shame.
Respectfully disagree. I believe shame is a huge driver of all sorts of maladaptive and harmful behaviors. Totally agree that people behave poorly and want to see us treat each other better. But perhaps we have different definitions of shame. Care to share yours?
In my experience many of us carry enough shame for a lifetime. Might be why he can’t understand to begin with.
I’d like to talk to Bitcoiners who discovered Christianity through Bitcoin or Bitcoin through Christianity. DM me if you’re willing to talk about how you connect the two.
I’m traveling but I’m looking forward to attending a meet up when I’m back in the area. Just moved to MI and I’m encouraged to see the vibrant bitcoin scene.
