Can we ask the church to use the BTC to pay for the service it gets, not change it into fiat?

Hey don't look it as an attempts to promote bitcoin. That way, it sounds very negative. Instead look at it as a way to provide alternative payment option which donors are comfortable with using and at their convenience. I don't understand why we need  to create an issue out of everything

Technically everyone is an Atheist in some respect (unless you believe in every single god known to man)

I don't really like the word to be honest and it has a lot of bad stigma attached to it (mostly unfairly attached by theists)
We also don't attach the latin "A" meaning without to anything else in life

I'm not a stamp collector but I don't go around calling myself a AStampCollector .. nor would any of my views/opinions/morality etc be based from that

23 pages with an average of 10 words per page

230 words using the A prefix

Estimated to be over a million words in the English language
http://www.languagemonitor.com/number-of-words/number-of-words-in-the-english-language-1008879/

230/1000000*100 = 0.023%

That's just single words as well not even descriptions

And that's not even relevant to the point
Well done.. you're very special..

Good. With the decrease of people who goes to church, they might want to lessen their sins by giving to church.  Wink

Superstition is the end of reason.

No gods, no masters.

yeah, everyone is equal ... idiot!

Try this experiment take flour, eggs, sugar, baking soda, butter, milk, and a oven and just leave them in the kitchen, how long do you thing it would take to evolve into a cake?
 a million years, a billion years, a trillion years?  It won't happen because there's no action behind it, and there no plan behind that.

Before you have an earth, solar system, or galaxies you must have a plan, as well as the ingredients and action to carryout that plan.   Who created the ingredients, and who designed the plan?  You can't get a "bang" without bang ingredients and a plan to make a bang.

...  who created thought, who created a system where by the invisible mind controls the physical body  ...  

You live in a world where 90+% of the world population are theist.   Be glad they don't treat you as you treat them.




Go tell that to the Bábism, Bahá’í Faith, Christianity, Catholicism, Protestantism, Restorationism, Gnosticism, Islam, Judaism, Rastafari movement, Mandaeans and Sabians, Samaritanism, Unitarian Universalism
Ayyavazhi, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, Confucianism, Shinto, Taoism, Eurasian, Cargo cults, Hellenistic, Shinshukyo religions.

Do your homework and stop sucking numbers from your ass.

Ignorant people are born every day and trolls every second day.


In 2007, there are an estimated 157,529,444 people worldwide who are atheists. This is according to data compiled from the 2010 World Factbook of the United States Central Intelligence Agency.  This number represents about 2.32% of the world population at that time. Translated to current population statistics there would be about 170,088,267 atheists in the world today.

A 2010 survey published in Encyclopædia Britannica found that the non-religious made up about 9.6% of the world's population, and atheists about 2.0%, with a very large majority based in Asia.





What's wrong with you, your info supports my position.

I said 90+% are theists (I know it is 97%) you provide info that atheists are approx 3%, that means we are saying the same thing.

Read with comprehension.

Superstition is the end of reason.

No gods, no masters.

"Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God" - Lenny Bruce

@abitnut:  non believers is not the same as non religious.  you can believe in god or a higher power of some kind without being religious or being associated with a particular religion.

I used to be hardcore atheist but realized at some point that Divinity can exist and not necessarily be the bible's concept of God.  Some would call this pantheism.

Comparing everything that exists to a cake, nice. And where does that 90+% figure come from? Does that include non practicing "theists"?


The 90+% figure is what I use when I don't feel like using 97% and bickering over percents. 

You have those who believe there is a God, the God, the Gods, and those who don't believe there is a God.  Those who believe there is a God but not worthy of worship, praise, or honor are still theist.      There are tons of kids that thoroughly hate their parents and and what nothing to do with then (unless of course they need them), even go as far as to wish they were not their parents but they don't deny their parent's existence. 

In time most come around.  It's absolute foolish to live on this earth for a full lifetime and exit our reality believing all of this organization could occur without a plan.

Wikipedia has different numbers.
Quote
Atheists comprise an estimated 2.01%, and non-religious a further 16% of the world population

That makes roughly 18 non-believers, leaving 82% at best as theists. Care to back up your 97% or even 90%?

Also; if you want to avoid bickering over things try to back up your statements. This is bitcointalk. You will be called out.

When you throw around numbers like 90% of the worlds population are at the very least Theist then you are arguing from ad populum and authority
If you need a further explanation of what those arguments are please feel free to look them up on the medium we use that contains more information than the entire known human history.

When you argue from these positions you may think it's credible but even if 99.999999% of the people in the world were Theist is doesn't prove that any god exists
Science is the best medium in which we can falsify our claims and as of now we have perfectly reasonable explanations/theories for the beginning/state of the universe and life and the things we don't know right now we say we don't know.

Your analogy is completely wrong about Evolution as well.. it's no wonder you think that way.. Just to elaborate on that though in Quantum Theory you could calculate the time it would take for those ingredients to become a cake.. It would be a number though that no one person could fathom.. I suggest watching a 1 hour presentation by Brian Cox.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u9YmpCg9bY will blow your mind

To think that you on this tiny speck of a planet in the massive universe..possibly among many more that your specific deity has a plan for you would be foolish

I believe religion is healthy and vice versa. In the context that it doesn't negatively interfere with a person's thoughts, actions, or overall well-being(life). If religion helps someone stay grounded, all the more power to them. It it does the opposite for someone else, it makes them feel suppressed, then all the power to them also.
