Moravian comments on Nov 30, 2023:
I remember when Jimmy Swaggart was caught and put on a great performance with floods of tears asking for forgiveness from his parishionars. I watch one of his flock, a working guy in his ill fitting Sunday suit being interviewed. He said something like "What a brave man Swaggart was". Those poor ...

On top of that Swaggart cried and said "my god I have sinned against thee." All the KJV language about the incident and not a word about his wife. I guess he never sinned against his wife.

Funnies aside for a moment, imagine this as written in the bible. It shows me that the Romans really had no idea who Jesus was. This casts doubt on the meeting with Pilate, the tomb for burial, and Jesus himself being so highly regarded. It means the bible is full of myth about this Jesus.

It's been 3 years since I had mice and the last time it was 4 or less. The easiest way for them to come in is by the furnace and again a back bedroom sink drain. I have taken precaution to block these areas. So far on this new mouse, he's the only one. traps are set and not triggered.

This one is 7 miles from me and was started by a man in prison for drugs. He claimed to have found Jesus and he started this food pantry attracting all of his friends to him. This is why I say they are all former dopers. He also pastors a church that he has connected to the food pantry. They take every word of the bible literally but they also feed the poor and you can have a daily meal there if you like. The town says he is attracting the homeless. I say that the homeless have to eat also. I've talked to this man before and he knows I am not for Trump. Most of them are. I suspect he knows I am not a believer. My take on what he is doing is good. They get food from St. Louis and give it to the poor or anyone that needs it. They are more "Jesus like" than many today and they have to move that food fast to avoid spoilage. I've got some food there that expires in 2024, and I give what I do not use to my neighbor who has a family and kids.

@MyTVC15 It took me much longer to become atheist but bible study is what did the job. A good study of what our bible is and how and when it became the book it is today would turn anyone away from Christianity. All religions are manmade.
What craziness mixed with religion can do

You know Manson never actually physically killed anyone. I think they wanted him to be an example of what these crazy drug taking free love anti war hippies were all about. The DA Vincent Bogliosi was a show boatwho wanted to sensationalize it and sell books.
DenoPenno replies on Oct 19, 2023:
This is true but Manson and all his followers should have been executed. The state chickened out and they got life in prison.
Last week I went to a food distribution center and noticed 2 people talking in the line.
FrayedBear comments on Oct 19, 2023:
Doesn't your social security get paid out of taxes that everyone is required to pay on income or goods & services bought? Why do people not believe that they have no responsibility toward the less able less fortunate members of society? I don't understand & am left incredulous that a country ...
DenoPenno replies on Oct 19, 2023:
Social Security is an insurance program started by FDR and the money funding it comes out of payroll taxes that people pay in. People on SS or SSI do not always have enough to live on so food distribution programs help out. Our government itself only has responsibility through other programs and it gets all complicated. The right wants to end Social Security and the left wants to expand it. Programs that help all Americans are kicked around like a football. Many from the right think they should end Social Security even if they are benefiting from it. No one is smart enough to figure out what we would do with all the people on the program if it disappeared tomorrow. Even now some right wing areas want a person to "do a little dance" to prove they qualify. The claim against us having programs that would take care of all of us including our healthcare is that "we could not afford that." Lots of other governments with less money DO afford that and they take care of all their people. We should do that also.
How can parents foster religious tolerance and respect within their families?

Considering the diverse religious believe in our society. What is your thought?
DenoPenno replies on Oct 19, 2023:
I'm not about religion or what it says in the bible. Studied once to be a Pentecostal preacher but learning how we got the bible and when it became the book it is today changed my mind completely. If kids are interested in Christianity let them study in detail on where, when, and home we got the bible and which books were excluded and why.
I heard this on a podcast and I agree.
Garban comments on Oct 17, 2023:
Biden wanted to retire. He only ran on 2020 because he thought he could fix the mess the orange turd was making. Sadly it will take generations to clean up that pile of shit.
DenoPenno replies on Oct 18, 2023:
@puff And we all know that Trump could have fixed it all in a couple of days. OK, maybe it would take him a week or have gone the route of our healthcare plan that he was working on. GOP is NOT about healthcare.

I don't know anything about the situation, but I'm sure there is some truth to that. One thing that has puzzled me lately, is why nearly 50% of the population of the Gaza Strip is reported to be children, under 18 years old. I keep hearing that on the news, and it just doesn't seem to jive with ...
DenoPenno replies on Oct 18, 2023:
Lebenstraum simply means "living room," or room to live. As for the children media is talking about the idea is to get us all to think"OMG, they are killing children." I agree with you that there seems to be too many children. So far some news crews have been attacked also and We have to understand that many will die in the crossfire. War is hell.
There’s so many conflicts of interests at work here it’s laughable.

The religious claim they are an "intelligent design".
Alienbeing comments on Oct 12, 2023:
Those that claim they are an intelligent design obviously don't know much about their body.
DenoPenno replies on Oct 12, 2023:
This reminds me of the ridiculous prayer over your food where they want god to "use this food for the nourishment of our bodies." It makes no sense. Your body uses the food and gods have nothing to do with it. Wait! You are a believer and live in a world without refrigeration. Now I understand your prayer but only if there is no refrigeration.
Truth is stranger than fiction.

DenoPenno replies on Oct 8, 2023:
The film was fairly accurate. O'Hair was killed for money by a man named Waters that she hired to manage all of her atheist money raising affairs. Her son Billy was an alcoholic who eventually became a preacher and now works to "get prayer back in schools." This is the part that gets me. I'm 77 years old and do not remember prayer in schools. Others I went t school with claim they do remember prayer. The best I remember on prayer in school is "those who want to can now have one minute of silent prayer." Everybody did not bow their heads. If this is all O'Hair had removed from schools I do not see why people were so angry.

BitFlipper comments on Oct 3, 2023:
I haven't been asked those questions, but there seem to be more standard questions these days. They still ask "have you been to Africa?" Now they ask if I am able to take care of myself, if anybody's abusing me, have I fallen recently. Those all sound like general questions to me.
DenoPenno replies on Oct 4, 2023:
I have changed doctors before because of all the damned questions. Once a doctor caused me to have to pay for what would have normally of been a free treatment by doing a test that should not have been done along with the free treatment. As for "have you been to Africa lately" the answer is "no" but I have been to Africa.

Betty comments on Oct 1, 2023:
I don't know how anyone who has taken the time to actually read the "bible" could believe that it represent truth. The bible is a collection of horror stories for the purpose of instilling fear and to control the masses.
DenoPenno replies on Oct 2, 2023:
@HippieChick58 I did it the bible study way and read it all once. What this means is you do not read cover to cover.They have you do it in a way that all the standard doctrines seem to be right to you as you go. When you are done you have read it all. People living in different times do not agree on everything. For example, Isaiah said nothing at all about Jesus. Neither does the Songs of Solomon, etc. but they claim this one big book made out of 66 or more little books tells the story but the bible as we know it today came about by decree around 330 BC. Many books did not make it.

Nazis? Isn't the whole idea of Putin's attack the fact that he is all about Russia as an empire? When you take that view a lot of questions are instantly answered. This is also why Russia cannot belong in NATO.
DenoPenno replies on Sep 29, 2023:
@puff I do not know who met who or when they met, but apparently you are telling me that Putin started a war to kill a lot of people because they are "Nazis." Are you Russian or an agent of Russia? My remark that Putin is all about empire meant "the Russian Empire" and nothing at all about NATO.

DenoPenno replies on Sep 28, 2023:
I still dye my hair at age 77 but you have to know how to do this. The trick is to only leave the dye in for 15 minutes. This way you avoid a thick color and still have some grey. The hair looks more natural.
