the unstated assumption in your statement is that somehow, being curious and asking questions and making experiments is an offense against God.

i assert that this is a fallacious equation of logic that was inserted into christianity to poison it to become a justification for absolute dictatorship of moral codes and cultural activity. it is the most deeply hidden and pernicious conditioning implemented by almost all christian sects since the inception of the catholic church, and if you didn't know about any of the cases of catholics genociding people, go do some research on the essenes.

idk why anyone believes that somehow former roman plutocrats gave a damn about Jesus or the welfare of the people.

do you categorise inspiration as thinking or a gift from God?

that thing about jesus being trained by wise men and the utter lack of any detail about it between age 12 and the commencement of his ministry is so suspect with regard to the appropriate selection of texts that was made at the Council of Nicaea.

half of the most famous things he said were straight out of Enoch and if not, Tao Te Ching, both of which were known to exist and probably be available somewhere in that time.

the red flag for me is this: if Jesus is God, then why did he have to go to school?

But I'm not surprised that some rich assholes who already have a lot of Bitcoin and a lot of money and a lot of assets, would want to force that on the general population just to make themselves richer.

It's the same underlying greed that drives the economy now.

Anyone know who said “fix the money, fix the world” first?

Or who popularized this phrase?

How do freshwater snails kill humans?

I want to live in a place where convicted pedophiles are publicly executed, and I want that place to be the United States.

It's sad when guys who could educate themselves to speak coherently about Bitcoin, don't, but instead continue speaking as if they understand.

It betrays their intellectual laziness.

GM to everyone who remembers this book and ONLY them. I’m sorry.

Started a trip from Kingman, Arizona to St. George Utah.

Walked outside to start packing. Flat tire.

Ugh. Okay, I filled the tire.

Drive to Safeway to get cash back. Bought Pringles but no option given to get cash back.

Tried another purchase at a different station, to no avail.

Went to Chase Bank to get cash. Paid $6 to get $20. Oh boy!

Thankfully, made it to the cheap local tire shop that only takes cash. They repaired the flat and we got on the road.

I look down, and something catches my eye. The battery icon is on in my dash.

Made it not quite halfway to St. George Utah, and limped our van into an auto parts store.

Ordered an alternator that will arrive tomorrow.

I didn't plan on today's adventures in car repair, but my wife and I are fine and healthy. Thank God. The adventure is still fun.

Sometimes, when I notice I have persistent trolls over months, I take a couple tries to reach out and talk to them.

I try to directly address their issues, and ask what their problem is, or who hurt them.

Like someone who is clearly a human but posts anti-Bitcoin stuff on my threads 193 times. Or who makes fun of my voice 65 times.

Thus far, it has almost never worked out. They just keep going until they burn out. Their views and comments tend to be near-zero anyway. It’s a mental illness issue. And I’m not equipped to handle it.

Kind of like how people throw poop in certain cities, there are people who digitally just parasitically can’t stop clutching to others negatively.

I invite them to do better, hope they recover, but I increasingly learn that dealing with them rationally doesn’t work and I’m not the right one to help with that sort of mental illness.

Hope/wish this were real…just for the entertainment value.

At least no bcash or other blatant impersonators.
