JBP is not fucking around.
In the preface of the new book, he gives the biblical account of the prophets of Baal (https://www.gotquestions.org/Elijah-prophets-Baal.html).
Crazy story where the followers of a deviant faith fail a trial against the true god and their followers. Elijah humiliates them:
...and God's people don't fuck around: prophets are executed, and "There can be no wealth in the absence of a true moral order"
The line has stuck with me for days now, resonating plenty with so many false gods of today. Failed beliefs must be put to the trial, and when their beliefs are shown to not work their proponents must be executed.
Hot damn.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.

questions i now ponder: how many times has there been a reset because the baalian prophets and their puppets have gotten out of hand and wiped out everybody?
if there were multiple baal cycles, how do these biblical stories keep surviving... on clay tables?!
anyways, let's pray bitcoin fixes this.

Interesting, interesting.
We're the descendents of the peeps who won against Baal's prophets? (Thus both the story and the moral foundation of their people survive?)
