You believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I have no problem with that, I think it's certainly closer to the truth than placing belief in scientism; something rooted in atheism, which came about from Marxism, a front of Judaism, which was co-opted a long time ago by a deceitful people that appear to hate everyone but themselves.

But, those beliefs are based off of the same texts which appear to have been mistranslated over the years. How many versions of the Bible are there? Which version do you subscribe to? Why did you pick that one? Are you interested in truth, or holding onto the things you believe to be true, no matter what is presented in opposition to those beliefs?

If I trusted the government there is a good chance I would no longer be here. My point in saying that we are not are beliefs is that we should not become too attached to the things we have come to believe, especially because ego makes it difficult to let go. I keep an open mind and with enough discussion and reflection my beliefs change over time, because they are not who I am, they are merely a means of me navigating this life.

That is why I don't get upset if someone attacks my beliefs, or at least, I try to separate the two. Because someone challenging an idea doesn't mean that is an attack on me, and if I get 'offended', that is a bigger problem for me than it is for the things that I believe at the time. We all have our biases.

I don't think relying on experience is credentialism, and I don't see either of them engaging in fallacious reasoning. Neither of these guys are appealing to their credentials. If you can understand a language I can't, and you tell me something is mistranslated, I don't think you would be relying on credentialism to make that point.

I am by no means a religious or ancient text expert, but if you think they are wrong, perhaps you can show me some specific examples, such as challenging the original texts and translations, and I will listen.

On anarchism and Bitcoin; these are ideas that loosely but generally align with some of the things I have come to believe. These ideas evolve, and so do mine. I have been losing interest in the direction that Bitcoin has taken, and I am okay with admitting it. An asset that goes up in value forever but does nothing to 'free' people serves no purpose in my life.
