Like Christianity, Jeudaism and most other major religions, Islam is founded on principles of violence (and more so, intolerance).  However this should not be used to attack the people who follow the religion.  The vast majority of Muslims in the West are tolerant people and if you dislike religious people based on just one part of their character you ignore the rest of their lives.

When people go and protest against Islam or against Muslims they are harbouring a battle because innocent people, rightly, feel personally attacked.  This creates a cycle of hatred which potentially results in violence and more hatred between two sides who both believe they have a moral high ground when neither ever did.

In my opinion the only thing that matters here is consent.  If the human I'm eating told me that they would be happy for me to eat them, I would consider it. But then if they tasted bad I wouldn't continue.

I think that the afterlife is in itself immortality and therefore people who are religious should not be worrying about immortality, especially when one of the main ideas for achieving it is uploading one's mind to a different existence which is essentially what the afterlife is.

However, as an atheist I believe that immortality is impossible.  Preventing ageing could be possible as the main cause of age is cells which is may be possible to replicate. However, to protect ourselves from external threats is what's impossible because there are always threats powerful enough to destroy the fragile human body or even enhanced organisms.

I'm pretty new to Bitcoin and the idea of cloud mining seems pretty appealing. However I keep hearing about Ponzi schemes which rely entirely on new members to stay alive.  Besides the blindingly obvious, what are the main signs that a service might be a Ponzi?

So if I'm not doing anything illegal or embarrassing with my Bitcoin, I'm safe with the same address? Or is it more complicated than that? Also, where are these transactions logged?

I've seen a lot of people arguing that Bitcoin can be profitable because of its volatility and convenience, but sometimes I feel that people using Bitcoin as an investment have little enthusiasm for its main use as a means of trading without an intermediary.

Under what circumstances should Bitcoin be treated as investment and to what extent should people think about its use as a global currency?

I wouldn't put effort into becoming a mod because then it would be manufactured and possibly annoying.  If you're an active and mature member of the forum maybe mods will approach you but I wouldn't think about it too much as there's nothing to say on the topic except the obvious.

Based on that then, was Richard Spencer a Nazi?

This is a bit late but you guys remember when Richard Spencer got punched in the face? I saw a lot of people on one side talking about not hitting someone for disagreeing with you and some people saying he deserved it for being a Nazi. So I was wondering, what do you think makes them a Nazi rather than just nasty?

Sometimes altcoins can be trying to improve the basic principles of bitcoin for better exchanges, especially the obvious ones like Ethereum. Some of the smaller ones are pretty useless though and tend to just be used for an exchange with bitcoin. Those ones seldom get anywhere and are super high risk if you invest in them.

I've been told by some articles that I should change my bitcoin address regularly, and some even suggest that I should change it after every purchase.  Can I have your advice on how to keep my addresses safe? Also, can anyone explain to me why I need to keep changing the address, since they can't send bitcoin without access to my wallet?
