If I tell you that I had seen a God, a new one that is different from anything else? Would you believe me now? No.
This is actually a very interesting point. Anyone can create a god. Proof it doesn't exist? No, can't? Well it must exist then. And this new god exists no more or no less than any other god. The only difference is the age and the number of followers.This is what I'm trying to say. How can you disapprove my God now? Have I not seen one because it's year 2014 and I'm on the internet? Theoretically we would have a new God that is only a day old and has 1 follower for now. I could spread it, would it mean that it is more true if more people followed me? In this scenario any random person could have a God and it might be the same God as everyone else's, but doesn't have to be. Now let's fast forward 2000 years from now. LaudaM and this forum has long long been lost in time. People still follow this god, someone (author unknown) even wrote a book, unfortunately over the years bits have been removed, changed and added. Stick in a few miracles to jazz it up a bit. Strangely more people would be more willing to believe this god than they do now. It's as if obscurity and time gives it more genuineness. So is that a yes or a no? If I tell you that I had seen a God, a new one that is different from anything else? Would you believe me now? No.
This is actually a very interesting point. Anyone can create a god. Proof it doesn't exist? No, can't? Well it must exist then. And this new god exists no more or no less than any other god.You answered yourself when answering LaudaM. If I answered you, you wouldn't believe me. And if I asked you, you wouldn't answer any better than you did LaudaM. Your talking in riddles now. Just a plain yes or no will suffice.

A far greater mystery is, with all the tremendous evidence pointing at God, why are so many people so afraid of Him that they try to push Him out of their lives to the point of firmly objecting to even acknowledging that He might exist? And this is done by the same people - the scientists - who wholeheartedly claim to be looking for truth. Amazing!
More people have been killed in the name of religion than anything else in the history of the world. More people have been tortured in the name of religion than anything else in the history of the world. More people have been persecuted in the name of religion than anything else in the history of the world. Are you genuinely sitting there scratching your head why people are afraid of religion and what to avoid it at all cost? Really? I don't believe you. I'm calling your bluff. Are you talking to me? I didn't say religion. I said God. I agree with you about religion. All the wars are fought because people believe whatever personal religion they believe, whether or not it contains God. For example, in the 1900s more than 200 million citizens of governments were killed by their governments, all because the government leaders had some whacked religious ideals in their heads that suggested that killing off their own citizens was, somehow, going to improve their country. In the United States, it wasn't big government that killed off its own citizens. In the States it was the common people, who, in the name of freedom, and a religion of material possessions, have killed off almost 55 million of their own fellow citizens by aborting them. This ain't God. This is religion. God absolutely does NOT condone this... even though there are probably many people who talk themselves into thinking that He does. Now, consider how difficult this must be for God: continue to love people; continue to offer them freedom, even though it is limited; yet, act justly towards all. He can do it because He is GOD ALMIGHTY. He will do it by destroying this universe in the judgment day. And if you are dead by then, He will raise you to life to call you to account for your ways while you lived here. Almost all of the aborted babies will find renewal and salvation with Him. Is it possible to believe in a god without being religious? A person might devote himself to atheism religiously. So is that a yes or a no? If I tell you that I had seen a God, a new one that is different from anything else? Would you believe me now? No.

Ah.. temptation.. nah, just dont like sites with adverts.. What you doing on here then, with it's nasty adverts? By the way, how's that hidden pathway thread of yours coming along? Much interest? LOL I just choose to hate the english, since scotland is subject to the queen.. (slaves)
Oh dear, we've got a little anger bubbling away under the surface here haven't we. I'm sure this report fuelled your hate... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8180791.stm LOL Weak evidence I agree. But when did that ever stop you believing in something.

But often, if a person will simply not accept Him in faith, God will lock him into that non-acceptance in this life. Such people miss out on a glorious eternity, simply because they "want" to, without realizing what they want.
Proves my point. Religion was built on fear. Fear of what will happen if they don't believe. Fear of the unknown when they die. Why would anyone fear death? Puzzles me. You can't stop it. It's nature. Why worry? Naturally we all have the inbuilt survival mechanism, that's nature not fear. Yeah, sure I fear of having a horrible painful one or fear I won't see my children grow up, but that isn't fear of the death.

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.
Ahh, that old classic trick. Trying to instill fear so I become religious. Luckily for me you cannot back any of these claims up, so afraid it fell on deaf ears my friend. Nobody falls for that anymore do they? I'm fortunate to live in a country where I can make my own decisions what I believe in without being dragged out of my home and shot if I don't subscribe to what I'm told to believe in. I'm exercising that right. Religion, throughout history, has been used to control the masses, rather than enlighten them. You won't catch me subscribing to that anytime soon.

So as I see it, bitcoin does nothing BUT hash checks. Each block it hashes is stored in the blockchain. So all we would need to do is simulate those hashes in an internal network, then use one of those pc's to BUY using external scource, ie, the shop., placing hashes found on an internal network to the external blockchain, which of course, knows nothing of the internal network, and dont care, since the hashes created by the internal network were confirmed by other pc's on the internal network which were just as 'legal' as the external.. Just another theory Edit: You read it here first lol.. But the coins on your new chain won't be compatable with the real ones on the main chain. Also, once your internal chain connects to a genuine bitcoin node it will be overwritten. This is because the the chain with the longest highest difficulty wins.

It does not matter how much effort you put in if all you're doing is destroying.
How do you feel when mother nature destroys? Volcanos, natural forest fires, diseases etc...

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.
This is actually quite an arrogant statement, because you don't know this whatsoever or have any evidence of it. You just made it up. Wishful thinking. Nothing more. I could easily retort by saying "religious folk's subconscious mind doesn't believe in god deep down ", but then I would be guilty of the same crime.

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. How many gods do you believe in BADecker out of the thousands in different religions over the world? Because if you don't believe in one and have faith in another you are atheist towards the one you don't believe in.

Shouldn't you be building shelters out of what nature has provided you with? Think of all the resources used up manufacturing those tents! Think of all the 'wage slave' workers that made them, you would then be supporting and encouraging!

Dank, Dank, Dank. When is the penny finally going to drop nobody is going to give you anymore money?

I think dank doesn't need to be put there since he is a troll.
I don't see how being a troll gives him immunity from being a scammer.

You can laugh now, but by the time this short post is finished you will realise the truth.. that bitcoin WILL fail
Can you give us a timeframe so I can make arrangements to dump my coins. LOL

So then it occured to me..
Create a network of around 'x' amount of computers. Install bitcoin app and run as server.
Would this not create a 'new' blockchain, which can then be introduced into or OVER the origional one we currently use?
No. This would infact help the bitcoin network, as you've increased number of distrubuted nodes. All nodes are equal. These new nodes would have no more or no less authority than the thousands of others.

bitcoin TX do carry IP information. The IP address of the node that first relayed the TX is reported and is available on blockchain.info (and other block explorers as well).
These blockchain explorers only report the first node that relayed them the TX, it's just data they have generated themselves, not actually inside the TX. There's no way of knowing if that was the node that generated the TX. It may of been relayed from another previously.

Have you ever noticed that when people can't answer the points of discussion, they start to do character assassination? Take a look at the above couple of comments. Character assassination, because they can't answer the points of discussion.
I answered the point of discussion way back in post #72: God cannot be proved or disproved.
Edit: Sorry my statement is the inconvenient truth for you.
