    The core tenets of modern religion have good intentions. With everything, consolidation of power leads to corruption.

    Cynical take. Sounds like me of times past.

    Church of Satoshi has been my light from this burden.

    Mostly an easy snipe at crypto bros in general where "people can't be trusted" but the code can solve all trust issues.

    Nah code is written by lazy mostly careless humans. Hard forks and rug pulls (from unfinished work) are results of that flaw.

    To solve the endemic trust issue, you can't hack it with more technology when tech it's a major root cause of it.

    Maybe Bitcoin unfair as an analogy for blind tech worship, or not?

    I mean, the code is open source, so, yeah... any flaw would be exposed.

    For most of human history science, philosophy and government were one with religion. It really wasn’t until the enlightenment that the idea of science and state being separate from religion was widely accepted and even then there still were those who claimed the divine right to rule. I mean even now there are still theocracies.

    Being able to have values without a massively powered sky being waiting to punish you if you don’t follow though values is a relatively new thing and you might be right that we’re not wired to have those values without the fear of a punishing sky being.

    This is what the cult of dip$hit has become...



    If a hell exists, it waits for this charlatan (not Talarico).

    Explain, please. Which ones? Because it seems a large portion of the hate in the world comes in the name of Christianity.
