The only possible "respect" religious people can be entitled is to private practice, in short being stupid is a right, but in the moment they try to impose something on society based on their irrational God(s) they don't.

Well, cherry-picking is so common with religions.
But to turn to the cold stone here, so they are becoming with atheists, specially those who like to support themselves on "science".
There are many things for which science has no answer whatsoever, the honest answer to those things is "we don't know", but on there comes the market of pseudo-science, mainly the so called "studies".
"A study says this", "a study says that"... this market of studies comes for all shapes and sizes, and many many collisions. So what does this new batch of hardcore atheists do? Exactly the same any religious people do: they cherry-pick the ones that second their personal belief and sideline (if not with violence) those who don't.

That's just stupid and prevents nothing. Actually you will increase its darker uses, the commodity will not loose a cent of its value because some central bank believe itself to be god-like. You can't stop the wind with your hands, nor does any central bank. In a sense that's like trying to forbid money or gold because people use it to buy guns, drugs or whatever.
Better base it on the legit market, so users can opt-in for coupe with some regulation instead.

And to the very end, not only ransomware is way older than bitcoin, as if your technical knowledge of it is limited to "OMG! Forbid it!", than bitcoin and ransomware are the least of your problems. You know this virus will not infect anything without a local network user intervention, right?

You can see who paid for the known addresses, when they move the coins you can keep on their track.
Eventually they will surface at a legit market.
The key event here is to get to know who used a mixer along the line. And make the users know that using a mixer is a suspicious action on itself, legit users shouldn't do that.
So, with some forensics and time you can get there. Unless the group is up to hold a fortune they can't move anywhere.
285  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: RANSOMWARE impact on: May 17, 2017, 01:21:42 AM
they used bitcoin as mode of payment for the ransom because bitcoin is untraceable.

This is a total mistake on how bitcoin works, in fact bitcoin is publicly transparent and easily traceable. Each coin can be traced back to the exact moment it was created.
You can even create a monitor on someone's account by simply throw a satoshi on it and see where that satoshi goes.
The "issue" comes with mixers, mixers are no more than what those people using bums for withdraw with fake cards do. The simplest approach to it is to taint mixed coins, so instead of "laundry" your money there you actually "make it dirty".

Religion in the modern world is completely unnecessary. But a little philosophy and good education will not hurt.

Religion - all of them - is just a convenient and irrational way to impose philosophic views. By impose conducts to society on this way instead of have to go through a hard and long rational discussion, which I believe was a hard to do with caveman, with little to no logical thinking abilities whatsoever, the philosopher takes a simply "because God(s) want". Making of it a discussion dead end.

After years of learning philosophy I've made conclusion that nothing is that constant like sophistry, and now it's only thing which I believe.

Just a bit of hypocrisy and a nice smile and you'll be the perfect politician around.

a lot of people are atheists for not realizing that many things that cannot be proven by the mind and logic, a simple example is when we sleep, we never know what happens during sleep.

The fact that we don't know this or that does NOT means nothing about God, it simply means we don't know (yet).
Simple as that!
Or you have the need to "know everything" and for anything you don't know "it was God"? That's living a ridiculous lie!

"If the entire World joins my hallucination it will be a better place", is common ground to:
-Xtians
-Muslims
-Communists
and all sort of totalitarian crackpots around.

There's no "one size fits all" solution for the World and your "true bible" (whatever that means, taken there're dozens of versions) surely isn't one too.

Then prove me there's no Santa.
Prove me there are no unicorns.
Prove me there is no Big Foot.
...
and the list goes on and on.

Prove on the negative is NO PROOF AT ALL! You can't prove something that doesn't exist, doesn't exist. What you can prove is for what does exist.

Don't quote each other so much, it renders a huge backlog!

@Badecker;

Basically what you do is "prove on the negative":
"I/we don't know" => "It was God"

That's broken logic, just seconds my previous statement; God is nothing but an euphemism and a metaphor to the unknown. That's why it can be such a paradox, "good" and "evil" at the very same time.

@ImHash

Just visit a metal institution... you'll see how many are or talk to Napoleon and God these days. Crazy people has been there all around History, mental institutions however are more recent, but the "prophets" would probably fit well there.

I'm not young or fear death.
Death will come and I'll go, it's unavoidable. There's nothing to fear about it, no false hopes to feed, no gods to praise. Don't let your fear be exploited!

It is good not to fear death. It's facing God that one should fear. For starters, science proves that God exists:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=737322.msg10718395#msg10718395
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1355109.msg14047133#msg14047133
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1662153.40
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1054513.msg16803380#msg16803380.

Once you realize that God exists, start to find out what He says, before it is too late.

Cool

Dude your "evidence" roundabout to "there's God because I say there is and you say there is because there's a book that says so and that same book says that book is true".
There's no scientific evidence of anything.

Anybody who calls God a sky god, doesn't have enough understanding to see that God is God not only of the sky, but of everything else, as well.

Cool

God is an euphemism for the unknown, just that. Has no physical or literal form, never spoke to anyone and doesn't care about us at all. It's our way to justify the unjustifiable, the way of pretend to do something by doing nothing, like praying.
The literal God is no more than attempts to scam and profit on people's fears.

The Bible is full of witness reports of God speaking to people. Let's hope God talks to your heart to change your beliefs, before the time comes when He will reveal Himself to you in the judgment. If it's the judgment, you will have no more chance to change, and it will be too late for you.

Cool

Witnesses... funny isn't it? When there were no cameras, no microphones, God looked like a parrot speaking with everybody. Now he is just as silent as rock!
As for the "judgment thing"... that's exactly the kind of gullible fears religion is exploiting.

Dude, I'm atheist. If you failed to understand this topic, it's about atheists who behave like theists, creating dogmas and spin around it as if it was the incontestable truth.

They won't be kids anymore when time goes on. They will grow and be HOPING that they realize the blessings they received while they were children from their parents. Just be chill.

Rich kids doesn't refer to children, but to those who are rich because the parents are, be them 10 or 50 y.o.
Basically people who did nothing in life other than "being rich".

"Not really ...? Atheist right orangutan Smart, may not compete muscles. Paling fence arguments submitted to him, that God IS THERE not, so do not have to fuss. Keep on Going Once wrote. Actually, Darwin did not atheists. BEFORE announced the findings of its discovery ABOUT Theory of Evolution, he actually hesitated, Because He knows husband will become big problems. True Darwin was not an atheist, * According to I, Theory of Evolution Is digalapagos Current findings. Husband Scientific Theory, Not Faith.
So if atheists admit yet is a BECAUSE THERE ARE ALL The Lord, he is still searching hearts. Wavering And always upset her life. His quest is yet to meet. "

Religion is a tool for the enslavement of the people and the state. No wonder religious denominations do not pay taxes. They are beneficial to the state.
If you pay attention to what one Soviet politician said, that religion is a drug for the people, that is why in every way they limited the person's ability to communicate with the church. Even the priests were executed or sent to hard labor. It was really the rule of atheism.

That was Mao Ze-Dong, the chinese. But Communism is a special kind of Atheism, they replace God with the cult of personality.
Up until now Lenin's mummy remains there to be sort of worshiped.
