    "Turn your actual prayers to a deity that may not exist into commodities to buy and sell."

    :jesus-cleanse:

    And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. — Matthew 21:12–13

    well that's blasphemous as hell. Seriously they are trying to get people to pay them for access to God

    also I can now picture Lucifer being a huge blockchain guy. as he falls from heaven he screams "This is good for bitcoin"

      Lucifer in the block chain is actually Roko basilisk.

      All the nerds in fear of rokos basilisk and are trying to bring it into existence to avoid eternal punishment are actually agents of Satan and are destined for eternal punishment.

        checks out it's like the conspiracy theory I heard recently that the Klan are actually satanists and that's where the rituals come from

          Well the Klang robes looks like Spanish catholic ritual robes so you could do the protestant bit drawing parallels between the Klang and the catholic church

      Not a bad idea to sell church services as a exclusive subscription based fee. File this under another gem of the great reset!

    you are a blasphemer if you don't believe that God is in heaven reading a continuous printout of transactions on the blockchain like Santa Claus

      Or more importantly, how to discern prayers from cryptorubes and people worth saving

      And like with everything else blockchain related, it's basically what people had already done, sometimes for centuries.

    Snow Crash is looking more and more like a prophecy. Reverend Wayne's Pearly Gates, but somehow stupider because of course it would be in this timeline.

      It has come full circle cuz the first things people offered to gods was food. But in this case they aren't actually giving away said commodity. They are giving real money away

    Is it not blasphemous to suggest that something created by a human is going to be eternal? Like, I'm certainly not a theologian or anything but that kind of perfection seems like a "reserved for God" kind of thing.

    EDIT: Also, being as God is both eternal and omniscient, isn't all communication directed at God already eternal by definition?
