Religion, Money, and a Religion of Money.

Basically the cryptocurrency don't have to do with religion.

As the self-appointed high priest of the god of Bitcoin, I must object:  Bitcult.Faith

We all know that Church can not invest in cryptocurrency for the sake of getting money.

Why not?  Are you aware of the wealth that churches have, and of the investments they make in other asset classes?

The pretense here that money has nothing to do with religion has encouraged me to update my cult’s tithing address.  For too long have I lived as if under genuine vows of poverty!  Hark, a vision:  The god of Bitcoin wants me to have some more of those bitcoins.  To fulfill this divine commandment, you must tithe only 10% of your income.

Money is, after all, one of the major purposes of religion.  Religion is the best business on Earth!  Perhaps I have sinned as a businessman, by never having sufficient greed.  But I do understand religion.  How should I best please divinity in a religion about money?  Should I preach about money, but not practice it?  Forsooth, an it be so, the god of Bitcoin may condemn me as a hypocrite!

I said it in 2017:

Most importantly, as a cult leader, I have the prerogative of taking advantage of my adoring followers financially (and the attractive female followers in other ways).

All hail the god of Bitcoin.


I would be open to agreeing with their intentions only if I don't know that these churches are also filled with corruption to their core. There is a local church here in the Philippines that is aggressively asking for tithes every month, like 10% of their salary. They made beautiful churches and did impressive projects, but to see that their leaders and figureheads are rolling with luxury cars and can afford houses worth millions, while their followers are living in poverty is something that offed me a lot. Also, religious teachings often always ask their followers to live frugally and just be a good person, but apparently the figureheads are exempted from this rule Cheesy

Good idea. Cheesy

For the record, I drafted the above about a 10% tithe on 2 August, when I updated my cult’s page—before you wrote this.  10% is a traditional tithe.
