LOL. I'm fully aware of the difference between Catholic and Protestant, but to say that Catholics are more religious is quite frankly ludicrous, not to mention naive.
Did you even bother reading what i wrote?
I wasn't telling you the differences between Catholic and Protestant
I was telling you what he meant by "religious", because you are misinterpreting it.

Here is a shorter version since you clearly didnt read the longer version:
When he says religious he means ritual.  Pomp.  manmade rules.
Protestants use "Religious" as a derogatory term towards Catholics in general because they focus on ritual and other useless nonsense.

He is *not* referring to adherence.
You are.
Catholics are, on the whole, significantly less adherent to their faith than protestants.
You're correct.

Did you even bother reading what I wrote? Proving how more 'religious' one is than another is BS?

If the guy clearly can't differentiate between what he means and what he writes it's not my problem. And for you to say you were not telling me the difference, I think you need to go back and read your 'protestant 101' post.

If he meant ritual then he should have said ritual and not religious. Nothing more to say on the matter.

Now money becomes a religion? Really pathetic Roll Eyes

Hmmm, could list a lot more religions that are based of more ridiculous things.

But basing a religion on bitcoin could give it a bad wrap with some people, like scientology.

Yep, you are 100% right. I grow up as a Protestant and we don't pray to Mary or put thousands of dollars into our churches. That's just stupid.

 Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
I don't see myself as a Protestant by the way. I don't believe in a God entity and if someone wants to believe in BitCoin, well, let them.

It's a good job I didn't go off on one at you as well then because I did think you were from your post.

And I'm more than happy to let people believe in whatever the hell they want. In fact, belief in Bitcoin I'd probably support more than the rest.

I'm actually a Christian (OH NO!) and thought this was funny. But then again the pictures you edited were mostly catholic and I've always thought the catholic faith was a bit on the religious side.


Just, WTF?

 Huh Huh Huh
Christians (Protestants) differentiate themselves from Catholics.  Thank Martin Luther for that.  Protestant Reformation.  Back to the nitty gritty.  No more worshipping Mary, praying to Saints, donating cash to the Pope so you can get into heaven.   Now its all about confessing sins to God instead of a man in a booth, praying to God through Jesus instead of to God through a priest, etc etc ... All that standing, sitting, standing, sitting, ... latin services nobody could understand, etc ... =  "Religious".  Therefore a Christian saying Catholics seem really religious is basically a fellow who got back to the true roots of Jesus message, looking at an institution (Catholicism) which is still very bogged down in ritual and meaningless, manmade elements.  "Religiousness".  As opposed to a "Relationship" with god ...

Clear as mud?  Protestant 101 dismissed!

As for the 1 world currency that is "the mark of the beast" ... you can bet your sweet tooshie that when Bitcoin gets big .... this is going to be a HUGE focus by many in the circles of faith.  This is why I would highly recommend for anyone the least bit concerned about Bitcoins success, that you leave the "God thing" out of it.  Its already going to be labeled Satans currency.  Mark my words. http://www.ridingthebeast.com/articles/gold-money-666/ And hey ... maybe it will be just that.  As long as you don't etch your private key in your forehead or wrist, you're fine.  But you'll starve to death too.  Or get your head chopped off for non compliance.  Or get caught up in the rapture.  Whichever happens first.  

Bright days ahead!

LOL. I'm fully aware of the difference between Catholic and Protestant, but to say that Catholics are more religious is quite frankly ludicrous, not to mention naive.

Weather you pray to Mary, the saints and follow the Pope, or just pray to Jesus and God. It's all MAN MADE! Sorry if that's a shock to you but if you actually done any research then you would know that the story of God and Jesus and pretty much everything written in the Bible is just a rehashing of different cultures mythological tales which have been passed down through the earth's MUCH longer than 6000 year history. Weather you follow the pope or not is quite frankly irrelevant. You follow a man made book as it's the word of God, although it's man made and written by individuals that didn't even live during the supposed time of Jesus. You then defend this by saying you are not as religious as Catholic because they are "still very bogged down in ritual and meaningless, manmade elements"

DUDE, take a look in the mirror! You worship a guy you don't actually know existed and his super overlord father who again there's no proof for whatsoever, while believing a book supposedly representing the word of the guys you'll never know even existed or not.  Roll Eyes

Give me proof there is a God, if you can't, then your just as religious as a catholic, a jew, a muslim, a sikh, a hindu et al, end of. Roll Eyes

Religion is faith and faith is believing in something without a shred of prove or evidence but because someone told you it was true or wrote down and you believed it. That's why I WTF'd you because you clearly can't see how much of a hypocritical douche you made yourself out to be with that post.

Reality 101 dismissed!

The only people that are going to label Bitcoin 'the mark of the beast' is religious fanatics like you. Thankfully in this day and age most of us are conscious enough to not believe all that supernatural mumbo jumbo, you know, because of like science n shit, and get on with addressing the real issues at hand created and solved by a change in the current status quo.

Your whole last paragraph is just complete BS.

Man, you've really riled me this morning, what a c**t.  Angry

In Revelation (a book in the bible) there is a vague warning that could be misconstrued to be pointing to a one world currency that might be possibly like bitcoin. The main problem is that there are about 30 other prerequisites, and prerequisites to those prerequisites. The idea is that if there is a satanic anything, it's easy to spot if you are paying attention.

Think about Jesus and the government in ancient Rome. He showed an immense amount of respect, even paying taxes which were even more usurious than now. Respect doesn't mean agreeing with wrongdoings, and I think bitcoin actually corrects a lot of government wrongdoings. Most barter facilitating mediums in existence are essentially usury which is slavery. Slavery to anything, especially holders of debt, is warned against.

To summarize: Funny, and we've earned our reputation (or the televangelists have...), but I think the beliefs of bitcoin followers and the beliefs of true believers in God are similar in some situations.

Google seems to be of no help here. Plenty of hits on 'bitcoin: satan's currency', but no such title. Looks like the field is open. Thinking about running for the job? Smiley
