Actually, I appreciate you folks a lot. I love the strength of your faith.

It's okay that you believe all that atheist stuff, right in the face of all the evidence that God exists. I hope that when the time comes that you aren't strong enough to hold your beliefs any longer - in the face of the evidence for God - that you will remember my simple posts here, and turn to God Who is more than willing to save you.


You are sooooo good. Sometimes I wonder why more people haven't said it.

 

If you have enough wealth that you can set up a system like this that almost breaks even, you stand to win in the long run.

It might take a couple of decades, yet, for the fiat currency banking system to crash itself. But things are in a position right now that the system could crash any time. All it might take is a few more countries getting off the USDollar as the world currency, like Russia and China are doing.

When this happens, the value of bitcoins just might soar in nations that still use the USD as their basic form of money. So, while Bitcoin mining might not be worth it today, it almost certainly will be worth it sometime in the near future... and maybe worth it in a very big way.

Under your handle, listed in your posts, it says "Hero Member." Being a Hero Member means, at least in part, that you have posted a lot of comments, and maybe have lots of topics that you started. If I search out all your topics and posts and read them, I might start to get a picture of what you are like, what some of your directions of thought are.

Whatever the God that brought this universe into being is, I can tell by looking at nature around me that God is Great. For example, I can't, and there isn't any news of anybody who can, simply by taking thought, or wishing, or focusing mentally, or by working, grow another arm and hand out of the side of his/her torso at will. In fact, as far as we know, this is impossible to do or make happen in any way. Yet there are billions of people who have two arms with hands attached to them, growing out of shoulders, right where it would be logical for something like an arm/hand set to be growing.

The point is, anybody who wants to take the time to examine anything and everything that he can, either will see God, or else he will intentionally hide God from himself. Honest people who are great thinkers and investigators will see more of God than those who are not as great thinkers, and who do not investigate as thoroughly. Yet NOBODY is able to tell very much about God by investigating nature (nature includes the inner self).

The nation of ancient Israel - not the current one - was the method that God used to reveal Himself to people. He did it by promoting them (Israel), and then by seeing to it that they recorded in the Bible the things that He did among them and many other nations. As I said in my previous post, above, it is impossible for the Bible to exist in the form that it is in. Yet it exists in abundance, with translations of it in almost all the languages of the world. God did this so that people would find out about Him in ways that we can't, simply by investigating nature.

Why did God make this whole universe? Why doesn't He walk around among us like a human being (if He doesn't)? Why doesn't He formally rule the world in the form of some terrible Being on something like Mount Olympus? The answers to these questions and many others are found in the Bible. The BIG question is, how could a Being that is great enough to make this whole gigantic universe, figure out a way to stoop down low enough that He could reveal Himself to a bunch of proud, arrogant humans, humans that don't even want to believe that He exists, without getting totally upset, and destroying the whole batch of them, right out of existence?

Now we are starting to get a little bit of a picture of what God is like.


Believing in the One God rather than another god, or rather than the many gods, might have some parts of the description or definition of atheism. Yet, it is not atheism. Atheism is believing in no God or gods. What's interesting about this is, that just like people don't entirely know how their subconscious mind works with their brain to operate the many involuntary, automated operations in their bodies, in the same way atheists don't easily realize that their subconscious mind DOES believe in God, and understands a whole lot about Him.

God has given people enough power that they can think that they believe in something that does not exist, all the while not really believing in it. It is not God that they don't believe in way down deep. It is atheism.

Isn't that why some people want to go to Mars?   

Of course, how do you know? If you hadn't intervened, they might have lived longer.   

I wonder what percent of the 10% is sales to the United States.   

The whole United States school system is designed to make the kids stupider. Many of the kids recognize there is something wrong; they are too smart ot simply accept becoming stupid the the U.S. schools system wants them to be.

Thanks. I just sent them an email.

Yes but, if you had pants on when you were stopped by a cop, nothing you could say in court would prove your innocence.   

The term "atheism" is self-contradictory. From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/atheism?s=t:

atheism
[ey-thee-iz-uh m]

noun
1. the doctrine or belief that there is no God.
2. disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings.

----------

If a person wants to believe as #1, he should consider that the term "God" when capitalized usually means, in English, the God of the Bible. Without further explanation about what God is - mythological like an ancient Greek or Roman god, or some South American Indian, or East Asian god, etc. - who can say if the person means God or all gods or what?

Atheism, when God means the God of the Bible, is self-contradictory simply because the Bible cannot exist, yet it does. Why can't the Bible exist? Because much of it has been proven by the Dead Sea Scrolls to have existed almost exactly like it is presently. That's for more than 2,000 years. The parts that were written following the DSS, exist as they were written back almost as early as 300 A.D.; copies of parts of the New Testament date back that far.

There is no other religious writing that has as many early copies, as reliable manuscripts, and a nation (the Jews) that hold by strong, firm tradition that the Old Testament of the Bible is truth, as the Bible. Anyone who studies the history of the Bible with the dedication that scientists study science, will find out that something like the Bible is entirely impossible. So, Who do you think is holding this impossible-to-completely-destroy Bible in place?


If an atheist wants to believe according to #2 above, he/she will have to rule out the existence of the whole universe. Why? One major reason. The whole of nature from electromagnetism to chemistry to life is so extremely complex that, it is literally impossible to exist. The proof of this is as a two-sided coin. The one side shows the complexity. The other side shows only deterioration, a breaking down, a slowing down, like a pendulum gradually coming nearer and nearer to stopping.

In other words, there must have been something extremely GREAT that started the universe. We see NOTHING that gives us an idea about how the universe might have started. The whole Big Bang idea is a fanciful ideology that some people want to use because they simply have to find something. They will go insane if they don't find something. Yet, the whole Big Bang and evolution idea has no reality with regard to what the SCIENTIFIC FACTS are showing us.


I feel sorry for true atheists. They have so much hope in their fanciful religion of atheism. Yet it is the most foolish of ALL religions. The East Asians and South American Indians, at least, are willing to admit that some form of god exists, just like the ancient Greeks and Romans, because they can see the gifts God gives in nature.

The one thing that the atheist has is great faith. It takes great faith to believe that God does not exist against all evidences that He does exist. If believers in God had this kind of faith, God Himself would have destroyed all wars, and turned the earth into a paradise long ago.

98.6, except if they are sick with a fever, or dead.

Judges are part of government. They are not part of your life unless government takes notice of you. Money is what you think it is, and what you agree to use for money with the person you barter with. Even the constitutions of countries where gold and silver are described as money, describe how the government defines money. This is THEIR definition. You accept it or you don't.

Bitcoin is not losing its popularity. Sure, some people are dropping it, and others are embracing it for the first time. The thing that is happening is, the economy is spiking a bit in some ways. To average people, some of the economy looks good. Many of them have enough money to fill their tummy, and sit around and watch DVDs (not enough to save any) so they buy a little extra. The shelves in stores are reasonably well stocked. Money seems okayish, so why be overly interested in Bitcoin?

Well, the economy is NOT good. This might be the proverbial calm before the storm, the real storm, where things all crash, where people will kick themselves later for not preparing with Bitcoin now.

Wars are escalating. And while wars are good for the economy, even though they are not good for the people who fight them, it is the wars that the bankers are making and using to stimulate the economy, and take the eyes of the people off the fact of the money slavery the bankers have them in. THE THING THAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME IS, THE PEOPLE HAVE COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORTATION. It is not only the elite. The people are finding out what is going on.

Will this make the people smarter? No! They won't get smart until the disaster hits home. And then it is much later than it should be for them.

The people need to wake up and see that it is the bankers and the fiat money that are wrecking the economy and their lives. Those who are awake, will be preparing with Bitcoin and in other ways. Bitcoin popularity is not really dying. It simply is not expanding as rapidly as it did, percentage-wise. It's growing, and it will grow faster in the future as the money system finally crumbles completely.

Don't get tricked into thinking Bitcoin is dying. Keep your eyes open and realize that it is the economy that is leveling off a little. Grow Bitcoin while you have the chance.

I wonder if she is covering a claw scar on her right leg.

I know they gotta be nutritious. But are they cheap to raise? Catching them would be too difficult.

If it was roaches, you could feed them just about anything.

Might start a branch in the States (joking, yuk).

Yes, but Bosnia has the bigger-than-Giza pyramids that will soon make Bosnia rich. Then everything will get expensive like the other wealthy nations.

Stopped looking at banks after hearing about Bitcoin.



EDIT: Seems to me that Lithuania changed their regs on starting banks back when the banking industry started to get all uptight on money laundering.

Axe or hatchet. 

Definitely Lithuania. Back in the '90s, you could even start your own bank for under $20,000.

Sure, go where the action is in life. But remember the guy who paid 10,000 bitcoins for a pizza way back. How many pizzas can you buy for one bitcoin, now?

If the account paperwork/contract says that they can close your account for any reason, then there is nothing that you can do to stop them from closing. But, even if the contract says that you will hold them harmless for the account closing, this can't include if the way they close the account damages you.

Seems to me that you said or referred to something about your credit. If the method they use damages your credit, you need to find the link between the closing and the damaged credit - the report to the credit bureaus - that has caused the credit bureaus to drop your credit rating, thereby damaging you.

Once you have done this, start a letter writing campaign, to get to the bank person who caused the damage. When you find out who this person is, contact the person in his/her "human being" capacity, rather than the corporate banking capacity, explaining the damage done, and gently demanding a reversal of the damages. Similar can be done with the credit bureau, but do the bank first if there is a way. If you can't find the person (because they cover for him/her), then go after the top person who covers, often the CFO.

If the banker makes it all good to your satisfaction, fine. If he/she doesn't, start a person to person - man to man, human to human - law suit the Karl Lentz way to break the corporate veil, and to bypass corporate attorneys. You will need to study to determine what to do. Or contact Karl in person.
