If it bothers you than don't use his pool. For fuck sake its named st eligius after the patron saint of goldsmiths. I am catholic as well and as far as I know other religions are recognized. I went to catholic school for 12 years. This thread is retarded, hey guys I'm going to pray for all of you, and if you don't like it well fuck you, your going to heaven anyways. 
No dude, this thread isn't retarded at all.
Some time ago, someone started a thread asking why weren't we allowed to include messages in transactions sent to bitcoin addresses(you can when you send to the IP) and everyone started saying it was a waste of resources, because the blockchain would get bigger and bigger because of said messages.
Now comes a religious fanatic moron and starts including prayers in the blockchain. What a waste of resources is that?
I could care less for his beliefs, but c'mmon... If he can clutter the blockchain with his crappy prayers I want to be able to message people to which i send payments to and be able to receive messages from people who send me payments.
