NODE c2a5ddf7Pat Robertson Fears E-cash?
A Foxhole-atheist swears Pat Robertson said last night that 
his
   new book warns of a "digital cash society" and massive
   theft by cyber-criminals. Did any believer hear this, or 
know if
   this is what he prognosticates for e-cash bedevilment?

I saw him on the 700 club about a year ago WRT this topic.  As far as I 
can recall, the above accurately sums up his position.

(The reason he really cares has to do with that "Number of the Beast" 
stuff in Revelations)

I believe that Pat Robertson is not aware of the privacy-enhancing 
capabilities of e-cash.  In a probabilistic sense, he may well be right.

Not true. In the 700 Club transcript I have, David Chaum is interviewed, 
and the blinded digital cash he has invented is portrayed in a very 
positive light, as a way of enabling digital cash and avoiding the 
prophesies of Relevation.

There are more fundamentalist Christians involved in the crypto movement 
than you realize.
