Trump “has blood on his hands,” says Pulitzer-winning Boston Globe – People's World

Very true but let me defend Trump by starting to talk about everybody else. That's how his supporters do it.

The Americans defying Palm Sunday quarantines: "Satan's trying to keep us apart"

DenoPenno comments on Apr 5, 2020:

Many people's belief overrides their common sense. This is another example of god just not knowing how far Satan would go with this.

Is anyone else watching the new TV show "Unorthodox" on Netflix?

DenoPenno comments on Apr 5, 2020:

I have not watched it but I can identify. My opinion is that we have these type communities and others like Mormonism extremes that people claim we should avoid and yet, our population at large wants us all to be religious and "founded on religion" but it simply is not true. My religious friend now goes to a Baptist church where I'm sure he does not fall on the floor and flop around speaking in tongues but yet he thinks he is "right." He agrees with me on Evangelicals but that is where he came from. His opinions still have that typical Evangelical bias in almost every area. Religious evolution is often very slow and the current American regime wants to stop it and highjack religion to use against us. The new "cult" wants us to believe freedom of religion is why we came here and stop or prevent anything involving women or religious freedom.

This landed on me today.

DenoPenno comments on Apr 5, 2020:

Your last paragraph summed it all up beautifully. I've read a bit on SARS and how we got it, then how we had no cure or vaccine and it suddenly just stopped. I'm beginning to think we can view SARS-CO-2 which we call COVID-19 as a mutation maybe. I don't know and I'm not a scientist but this might mean SARS has returned and it is very scary. We need to take this very seriously because I'm not so sure we know very much about it yet and it is killing us.

If you wanna know if it's true just follow the Trump Tweets. They change often and even contradict each other. In my mind this totally defines the Orange Turd. in FB my relatives are posting on how I want to see Trump fail and they immediately start talking about other people. If you wanna see "Trump Fail" just look at all his failed businesses.

I just love how creative some people have gotten.

DenoPenno comments on Apr 4, 2020:

I'm just at home doing the things I normally do. others would be bored to death but I'm just trying to figure out their insanity. People are afraid of death and the religious are now showing that the worst as they want to claim this pandemic as Armageddon. My long time buddy knows it for sure coz his Buybull told him. LOL

A raging example of why I've had quite enough of all this religious BS.

DenoPenno comments on Apr 4, 2020:

OMG! Ate up, ate up. I only knew one of the ones who made me because I never did meet my real father. At least, not that I know of. Talking to god is not necessarily a good idea. Too many people already have voices in their heads. I can't believe that she wants you to talk to her god and then dictates what she wants you to tell him. My best guess is that she would feel so much better if both of you thought and believed the same. I have news! Both of you are different and separate people so this last one is impossible. It will never happen. How would you ever know if 2 people felt or believed the same? All you would know is that they seemed to band together in social settings.

Pentagon Orders All Installations to Stop Reporting COVID-19 Infections and Deaths The Pentagon ...

DenoPenno comments on Apr 4, 2020:

True. I don't see that the United States has helped one country yet with COVID-19. I'm still trying to figure out the Zumwalt destroyers part and I assume the captain who was relieved of his duties really wanted medical attention for his men. The Trump Pentagon makes it sound as if he gave out some strategic information that could jeopardize a peaceful mission or something. What I see in jeopardy is the future of a man who doesn't even have the ability to read a script the same way twice. The often COVID-19 updates that have so much conflicting information are an ego outreach of Trump's weekend rallies that he cannot do right now.

My mother keep on telling me that I should believe in Christ.

DenoPenno comments on Apr 4, 2020:

Similar treatment has resulted in my distancing myself from my parents who also decided that god had called me to preach. I view their interactions with me as a cause of much pain. Mom has been dead 14 years now and my stepdad is demented and in a nursing home. I last saw him well over a year ago.

Near death experience

DenoPenno comments on Apr 4, 2020:

Having a "near death" experience in no way means that anyone has died. Keep in mind also that the person having said experience never really went anywhere else.

It's a great thing for your peace of mind and mental health if you love where you live.

I love where I live simply because of my cheap mortgage . What i have does not work for everybody but it works for me.

Colorado AG steps in after Hobby Lobby defies COVID-19 stay-at-home order

DenoPenno comments on Apr 3, 2020:

It's all about the money, or it can also be about your religious death wish coming true. My religious friend thinks this is all in the book of Revelation and Hobby Lobby founders would agree with him even though there is nothing about our country in that book. Having to know helped infect them all with the death wish. They set back all full of "I told you so" hoping to see this happen. The end is near!

DenoPenno comments on Apr 3, 2020:

Who was Christ? Isn't this just a title? It is hard for me to hate a forever mythical personage just because someone declared that he was god. There are many different gods. I have studied the bible and read it through. The problem is that the older I got the more I discovered that I do not believe in any of these gods.

Its about time for the President's Press Cartoon.

DenoPenno comments on Apr 3, 2020:

Trump does this repeatedly as a "COVID-19" update but what is really going on is a substitute for his many rallies that he wants to do so badly. This is why Trump and the team contradict each other even in one broadcast update. It's almost hilarious. The problem is that lives are at stake. This morning on Dave Weinbaum's talk show I heard how it's the Democrats now putting out this false info about Trump and because of it he can't do his job. Surprise! He is not doing a good job. He can't stop lying even in these updates. Then Dave says he thinks this will all peak or blow over in the next 10 days. Surprise again! The virus will not peak in all areas at one time. This is just common sense and it could go on for many months. The last thing I heard this morning is that they want a "cure" and think we are going to get one. Let me know how that is working. Do we have cures for the common cold, flu, or SARS? No, but we have vaccines for them. If I get a yearly flu shot will it help me or not? This is all 50/50 but I take the gamble because I don't want the flu. There is so much that we do not know but SARS-CO-2 is COVID-19. It does not matter where or how this variant came into being except in the fact of trying to control it. Like the others, it will also mutate.

DenoPenno comments on Apr 3, 2020:

This song describes it for many of us. I view COVID-19 as the beginning of the New World Order. There is nothing about it that is religious but those behind it will use the religious to their own advantage. The outcome is more control and less freedom. You and I will have less freedom.

This is how a church should be. Your thoughts?

Farther along we'll know all about it Farther along we'll understand why Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine We'll understand it all by and by The old song is true. I no longer go to church because I am farther along than before. I no longer have a candle or a little light that is mine.

I had a relative by marriage post of my Facebook page that my words there were "fake, fake, fake, fake." **I had to reply that my words came from news sites and news videos all over the world while her information is straight out of Cult 45. ** It amazes me that so many Americans fall for political party untruth to the extent of wanting to call the coronavirus a "Democratic hoax." To believe that you have to be dumb enough to imagine American party politics influenced the entire world and everyone went along with it. Where are the dead coming from? Are they all crisis actors?

Pastor of Tampa church that held two large Sunday services arrested, jailed [tampabay.com]

DenoPenno comments on Mar 30, 2020:

To defend this pastor we all know that god is in charge of everything but he had no idea that the devil would go this far. Also, Jesus said in the book of Mark that his followers could drink poison and it would not hurt them. The logic here is why would you be afraid of a little old coronavirus? Keep in mind politically that the virus has to be a "Democratic hoax." This means that you are so stupid that you believe American political parties actually orchestrate and control what is going on all over the world right now. Hey, I think I just explained the cult of Trump 45.

If it only lives 4 hours on a surface somewhere this would not be exactly true. If we go about business as usual it will hit us because we are spreading it. If we self isolate it might die off for now. Just my opinion. It will also mutate as any other flu virus does over time.

This has just come in from a friend in Kenya. How are African nations going to be able to cope?

DenoPenno comments on Mar 21, 2020:

It's a big problem in Kenya or anywhere today. As for a hand sanitzer forget it. Use soap and water instead. It may not matter how clean the water is, but just try and not always use the same water. Fats in soap help to dislodge germs. When I was in Nairobi I drank the local water but I first boiled it to kill germs not wanting to catch malaria. As for the barber clippers and clean items story here, I do understand that but the locals are not aware of actions of our current virus germs. They are trying to be careful and a warmer climate helps in this matter also. The virus will not be totally absent in Kenya because it does get cold at night sometimes. The hotter the climate the less coronavirus we will see. Flu goes away in warmer climate also.

Evangelistic’s leaders greed mongers state that their god(s) told them that you are to still tithe...

DenoPenno comments on Mar 20, 2020:

Yes, bring the full tithe into the storehouse. So many go with that biblical statement from Malichi but it has nothing to do with giving anybody anywhere 10 percent of your earnings. Nothing at all like that. You would think people would learn how to read and correct this nonsense, but no. We have to support the preacher with our money.

I have lived with a complete stranger, then we got to know one another, she got educated and evolved and I wanted to settle down while she wanted to move on. We are divorced now and she has an apartment in Dallas while I still have my same half acre of land living in a small town. We texted briefly on Christmas. I'm not sure she understands how I know where she is.

lol all these idiots praying for god to save them from the virus. wasn't it gods idea?

DenoPenno comments on Mar 20, 2020:

I find it ironic that a few have told me how this is the beginning of the end and they are not even claiming to be religious. OK, maybe they were once upon a time or they watched movies about the end that first appeared once we got into the atomic age. Who knows? As for praying to god I wanna know why he is going to change his divine plan because of you.

I am a bit of a calling-out-bad-research geek (in nutrition), and that combined with my early career...

I don't believe we really know much about this virus. My ideas of it is that it can travel through the air without being coughed or sneezed. others would have you believe it is simply alive somewhere for 3 days and you have to touch it in order to move it around. If this was true it would die out quickly, therefore I conclude that it actually can travel in the air as well. Now we can apply "what goes around comes around" and see that we need a vaccine.

Emma Goldman is exactly correct. It keeps most of us from making things up like everyone else does.

Fucking morons! [rawstory.com]

Moron is as moron does. Trump and his followers are morons.

Any chance someone will post all of the Trump and Fox news quotes calling the virus a hoax and a ...

DenoPenno comments on Mar 18, 2020:

Trump now claims he is doing everything possible about it but says it will go away soon. He has also re-named it the "China virus." We are so lucky to have this SOB as POTUS. He even got rid of many in the CDC and said we do not need them. I posted this in FB and my Texas Trumper relative told me that I was lying. I told her to fact check it.

Supermarkets here are getting stripped by panic buying.

Wash your hands with a bit of Dawn and lather it up in water. People are all going ape over this pandemic and do not display any sense.

I have to agree with this!!!!

DenoPenno comments on Mar 18, 2020:

I can agree and also identify.

5 dead, including officer and gunman, in Missouri shooting

DenoPenno comments on Mar 18, 2020:

Proof that people with guns do not know how to control themselves or the gun.

Has anyone else noticed that religion is portrayed as truth and real history on most TV ...

DenoPenno comments on Mar 18, 2020:

There is very little history in the History Channel. More like fake documentaries today along the lines of current "Reality TV" and not much reality at all. You can't explain it because the aliens did it sort of thing.

As coronavirus fears shut schools, work-at-home parents are trying not to freak out.

DenoPenno comments on Mar 17, 2020:

Most schools in mid Missouri shut down now until April 3rd. Rumor has it that some may not re-open at all.

& not in the blood of Christ!

DenoPenno comments on Mar 17, 2020:

No blood washing please. For the current pandemic try using water and 2 drops of Dawn. Wet your hands, put the 2 drops on one and rub them both together using more water until you get a lather. Rinse and dry hands and you are done.

When I was a teenager and in a bad place, I believed that there was a God.

DenoPenno comments on Mar 17, 2020:

I can identify with this and also say the god doubt gets much stronger as you get older. I have known or heard of people who jump back and forth between god belief and atheism but if you investigate this you will find that usually a person of the opposite sex is involved there somewhere. In other words, I might believe again in order to have a sweetheart. Gods have nothing to do with it. There is zero evidence of gods.

I want to say that I am an agnostic, and I don;t need/want anyone trying to tell me what I "really" ...

I'm not sure of what we are not supposed to do. There may be a clockmaker. I found a batwing once and knew instantly that it was proof of Batman.
