Unpopular opinion: the Bible is a map, not the territory.
The Bible is an old, weathered, heavily censored, and significantly altered map with large missing pieces. It'll help you find God, but with a lot of confusion, detours, and unanswered questions along the way.
What's needed is a more complete map that was preserved and protected from mistranslations, censorship, and alterations, in order to validate the truths in the Bible, correct errors that have snuck in over time, and fill in some missing pieces. Yes, I'm saying we need the Book of Mormon.
But what's needed even more than that is people who only use scriptures as the tools they were always meant to be; as a means to an end, and not the end itself.
I told you this was an unpopular opinion.

#Bitcoin approaching its #AllTimeHigh is great and all, but have you ever been smiled at by a 2-month-old child, like :D, just because you made eye contact with them? 😍🥰🥹
I've been doing 100 pushups every day, for #100adaytill100k, and just found out that my 12-year-old son was inspired to do it too.
And just now, my almost-2-month-old son was on his tummy and lifting his head up over and over, apparently trying to join in.
You're out of excuses.
"Trials make our faith grow stronger;
Truth is nobler than a crown.
We will ₿rave the tempest longer
Tho the world upon us frown."
- Robert B. Baird
My 13-year-old son broke his arm recently when he fell backwards while roller skating. Amazingly, his hand didn't change color, he can still move it, and the pain is only a 1 or 2 out of 10 when at rest, and a 3 or 4 when he tries to move it.
Fortunately, I made a new friend last year, @Alpha Numaro, at my meetup, #BitcoinChatt, who uses natural methods to heal this kind of trauma. No fiat "medicine" or fiat "food"; all healthy and sound techniques. And best of all: he accepts #Bitcoin
I wrestled some in my mind whether to spend some bitcoin or use my credit card; I want to stack sats, but I also want to encourage Bitcoin adoption. In the end, my desire for a circular Bitcoin economy won out, and I paid with sats.
We've had a lot of time to stack sats, and we shouldn't stop (I'll be replacing those sats as soon as I have enough fiat 😉). But if we want to see a world on the Bitcoin standard, we need to lead by example.
