Maybe you should be US president instead
I cannot say that "you are wrong"!
I believe what I believe because it is helpful to me, it helps me live in an "upright" and "peaceful" manner, like Plato or Buddha would recommend.
If Shmorgledudism is helpful and productive for your life than I think that is great. I do not need to force others to believe what I believe. But I will try to share if I can.
Bitcoin is already a medium of exchange. It had no value until people started to exchange things for it.
Now bitcoin is becoming a "store of value" -securities, ETFs, companies etc...
Next bitcoin will also be a unit of account.
You could say there is spiritual war going on for thousands of years and the best way to attack people and drive them away from God would be by corrupting religion and using it for evil!
My people perish for lack of knowledge.
Hosea 4:6
Have you checked our Jordan Peterson's new book? "We who wrestle with God"
It is really helping me understand the old testament, which I always had a lot of trouble with.
I believe that God is something like "the alignment" or Truth and Justice in the highest sense. When we align ourselves with Truth and Justice and Natural Law, we can say we are following God.
For example, Bitcoin is a sound and just weight and measure, while fiat money is evil:
The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.
Proverbs 11:1
It is important to understand that religion has been used for centuries by humans for evil. Following "the teachings of God" is something that is beneficial to you. Not a coercive guilt trip.
Spiritual works like the bible (and others!) can help give us clues:
God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
Exodus 3:14
(Jesus said) I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.
John 10:28-30
- So I cannot explain to you all the properties of God, this is what I know so far, and what I believe. God is someone who helps me and guides me towards what is good for me.
Including the claim of the negative. "there is no god" ? People throughout time have imagined Gods, angels, or demons- what is this new claim that nothing spiritual is real?
Science only needs one miracle: the moment of creation, the "big bang"
Not to mention the "dark matter" that no one can explain.
Yes I do. I believe in the LORD, who is the one who is, the before and after, the God of creation. I see everything as evidence of the LORD. His law is written within and without on all of his work. We are his wayward children who have failed to follow his law. Instead we choose to know good and evil, and thus we see a lot of suffering and evil in the world that would not otherwise exist.
My God is the one who sent his Son Jesus Christ to us 2000 years ago. Jesus followed the law perfectly to fulfill it and the prophets. He allowed us to put him to death by unjust torture and crucifixion. He did this for our sake and in our place as a sacrifice for our law-breaking. You can read more about what his message is in the bible, look up the book "Matthew" or "John" in any translation you prefer.
It is a short read- see what you think about the story of Jesus as you read it- these books are included in classical education as philosophy and ethics. The message and teachings are very valuable, even if you do not believe the story is "real" at first.
There are however, legitimate and proven historical records of the life of Jesus. There are witnesses that saw and stayed with him AFTER his death and resurrection on the third day.
This image was created by a flash of light so bright it imprinted a photographic negative on rough cloth, at the moment of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead.
Woh bro. Chill the fuck out
They “borrowed” billions to buy more coins.
“Legal tender” laws are statist and non voluntary so it’s good people are not forced to accept Bitcoin.
Governments will not save the people. We have to save ourselves
Human laws are not valid anyway
How in the world are you going to stop war if the government can keep stealing money from everyone whenever it wants?
human rights are a shitcoin
human rights are given to you by the STATE. They can change according to documents because the term specifies hu-MAN as being the authority who granted them to you.
Natural Rights are God-Given and completely outside the authority of the man-made "STATE". NATURAL means: outside of Man's authority or dominion.
You don't have to "believe in God" to recognize Natural Rights.
(although, I personally ask you to take some time for your soul and reflect on the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.)
The chief of these Rights granted to us by Nature's Creator (God) is the Natural Right to Property.
Your Foremost Property is your own body and soul.
This means all forms of slavery, coercion, theft, and force etc- done by any individual or group to another individual or group are unjust and dishonorable before Nature's Almighty God.

Thanks Israeli special forces. Such a great and nice idea for a product and company.
