Bitcoin and Religion

[dannyspk]

I was having a general discussion with friends regarding the Bitcoin Jesus fella who just recently launched his Passports for Bitcoin service for the rich folks. Let's say if there was someone who claimed himself to be Bitcoin Muhammad of the Muslim world. Do you think it would make the Muslim community furious and rage and most likely try to attack the Bitcoin network? We all know how easy it is to piss off Islamic extremists. Just a thought.

Dude, you need different friends.

Certainly, around 1-2 % of the 1.6 Billion Muslims worldwide may freak out and call for death threats. I don't follow where you are going with this. Do you have a question or point?

Given the situation with the recent film of Innocent of Muslims, I can say that public appearance of this guy will cause a huge stir in the Islamic society. But who now cares about this, especially in the field of virtual money?=)

Wierd,Get back to track. You go too far

[yayayo]

Did the guy even claim to be the Bitcoin Jesus by himself? Wasn't it invented by other people?

And here is what's wrong with your proposition: You can't be a Christian/Muslim and a Bitcoiner, because all Bitcoiners only serve the one true god that is Satoshi. Apostasy is a serious crime that is punished by eternal exclusion from the blockchain.

ya.ya.yo!

stop mixing religion with bitcoin affairs, friend. and do not look at Islam from a handful of people who do evil to bring the name of Islam. Islam is a peaceful religion, we respect other religions. and mercy for all of nature. however, for things divine we have some limits. I guess your religion was so

That's not about mixing religion and bitcoins, it's about cultural resonance for this frivolous joke. And this is not a secret that such jokes can become a reason for this resonance. When stupid fans throw bananas to football players from Brazil - it is not mixing of football and apartheid or holocaust, but resonance is very high.
There are no point for thinking that Islam is agressive and rude religion, because Koran says about mercy. But representatives of modern Islam (and other religions) often behave agressive. And, to my mind, thay can behave agressive if somebody name himself "Bitcoin Muhammad". So.

There are things I respect about Islam, their stance against the degradation and corruption that usury brings a society and I acknowledge that most muslims are ethical and hardworking people, but stop spreading the lie that Islam is a religion of Peace.

You can fool a bunch of timid politically correct liberals with that lie but anyone who has done some research into the origins and history of Islam and bothered to read the Qur'an and Hadith as I have knows that it definitely isn't a religion of peace but an intolerant one that has a history of conquest and violence and commands followers to kill many of my friends who have left its teachings.

P.s.... cherry picking passages about mercy only shows that you aren't willing to take the writings in context and leads to further questions about hypocrisy and inconsistency. I do not need to read these books in the original language either as a good translation does suffice.

Religion should really be called organized crime numero uno. From child trafficking to funding terrorism they are the cause of most of humanities problems and since the Renaissance has long past we all need to be a bit more acquainted with there crimes.

I think, it's too loud words about religion. Many aspects in science, philosophical, musical and cultural progress exist thanks to religion. However, crimes and terrorism too=(

A common lie (propaganda undoubtedly spread by the church) is that the church has brought forth advancements in life. That is contrary to the teaching's of the church. If you are well read on the matter you will know that it is a false hood.

Some extremists might get pissed, but most of them will just ignore it.

seing as this is a random thought topic.. here goes

i think religion was just the first method of getting common man to understand rules and laws.

instead of just shouting out 10 commandments (laws) they made it into a story to explain how and why its good to follow them, and have a definite penalty for not.. (the fear of the boogy man/ fear of gods wrath, fear of the devil)

and as such in bitcoins terms. its like a 2014 noob trying to write the story of satoshi, explaining the benefits of bitcoin over fiat and the conspiracy theories of government being the penalty of not following bitcoin..

in both cases, i dont believe people that were not there at the time which their stories are meant to be based on. i just follow my own ethics and morals.

bitcoin does not need religion, bitcoin just need bitcoin and people just need to use their own judgements and to just be smart and look at things deeply, not just blindly trust a story someone tells you.

You want to say, that all arts have not been provided by religion? Ok, but all modern music and harmony grows up from church music. All classical music grows up from the church, because piano and organ grow up from the church.
Philosophy grow up from religious philosophers, it mean that a big part of science and culture grows up from religion.
It is not result of propaganda, it's just a fact. Historical fact. And a lot of crimes and terrors grows up from religion. And it's just a fact.
Significance of religion in science and culture is not same thing as God's existence. We know exact facts about 1-th and can't say anything about 2-nd. Don't argue with history=)

Religion can be a great guide for people but the legalistic side of it is quite dangerous. I tend to look at it as a guiding philosophy rather than a set of absolutes. These absolutes have caused a lot of human misery over the centuries.

I agree that religion has brought us some advancements as well. The printing press was a huge one. It also tried to muzzle some great minds as well. I think it is like anything else, in the hands of the wrong people it can be used as a weapon. In the hands of the right people it can be a great thing.
