The only problem with Jehovah's Witness is that they are but yet another group who believes in god, but this time they know his name. All you have to do is use vowel sounds in JHVH to get it, but they are English vowels. (How did that happen?) The JW's also take away the "soul" that so many claim they have inside them and it makes people who fear death very angry.

If true, this could put a fork in Trump.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 28, 2019:

This is both funny and yet so true. As a white man over 65 I am totally aware that anything doctors do for me is based entirely on my blood work. They read that and prescribe pills. Someone is there typing things into a laptop computer but I have come to believe none of it is related to anything I am telling the doctor. This is because my treatment is only related to the blood readings. My previous doctor told me I had a heart problem and he pulled that information out of his ass. I told my doctor this but she would not believe it until she tested my heart and determined that I have no heart problems. Modern medicine in America is flat out awful.

I agree with you fully but he was black and in a home with a gun at night in North Carolina. The racist cops most likely would be OK with it from that standpoint and would not even check to see if someone else was there to trigger and alarm. The man is fortunate not to have been killed by them. No, it is not right, but maybe it was the best North Carolina could do at the time. Cops everywhere need much more training.

WHO OR WHAT IS ‘GOD’?

DenoPenno comments on Aug 26, 2019:

Keep in mind that religious apologists usually work from the perceived ideas of their particular holy book. It is this book first of all that has set in mind ideas of a deity. Remember that the book itself was not complete or considered as complete until almost 300 years after Jesus. This was done by council and decree with many books being left out or said to be false. It is only at this time that we have the "infallible" word of god but the many books together as one are also a main source of contradiction. Within this written frame is all knowledge as we know it about Jehovah the tribal god. In some passages his name is Jealous. Oh, what a giant mess we have here after 300 years in the making. Knowing the above helps me understand that knowledge of gods is all bullshit. Then the next guy comes along and says "well, there could be a god anyway." A god of what? Do you know anyone who was raised from the dead or flew to heaven on a winged horse? How about talking snakes. Did you ever meet a talking snake?

The Sunset of Neoliberalism

DenoPenno comments on Aug 25, 2019:

My take on the support of Israel was always that America is paying homage to some nation that Christianity came out of. Not that the Jews believed that but many Americans did (and do) and the religious think that when Jesus returns the Jews will recognize him this time. That speaks volumes for supporting Israel. Prior to 1948 that area was simply called Palestine and what it seems to all be about today is occupation, often by force. Many in religious circles of Evangelical religion claim Palestinians will get a nation if they "are good boys" and act properly. Where will this land come from and who is going to give it up? It will never happen. There is no land to give and there is trouble sharing that that they have. The current silence on Zionism is because many see there are 2 ways in which we could go and we would want to keep this as humane as possible. The election of 2 Congresswomen who favor Palestine speaks for itself.

But it is only a story. Evangelicals take it as real and they get angry when you say god and the devil had a bet. What I always wanted to know was did Job get his original wife and children back at the end or are they different persons? If the originals, were they resurrected, and if so did they have to die again later? If they are truly resurrected why is Jesus called "the first fruits of the dead?" A look at the OT seems to show 9 people or so that were resurrected and the Evangelicals avoid these questions. If you admit that Job is only a story all of this can be avoided.

A buddy took me to the Senior Center here locally once and they say the pledge and also pray over their food. Most likely I will not be going back. It is my opinion that these people all think Trump would want you to do the pledge and to pray, and at the Senior Center you hear a lot of talk about "fake news." They have all drank to koolaid.

However, Trump and his GOP are going in directions that some Koch followers were not supporting and it is as if another movement itself has been born. Let us hope that Trump and his Swamp go the same way as David Koch and the sooner the better.

For those who do not do research, Donald Trump even made his father's funeral all about himself. Now that he has "ordered" American business out of China the door for blame is open if we have a recession. We did it. Trump has no experience in these matters. Watching it go down is like seeing a mental retard at 5 years old playing with building blocks. No offense to the handicapped intended.

It doesn't mean I'm going to arm myself because of our many psychos out there. I do not want to be like them. I favor the Democrats but see them taking up wrong issues. Arguing gun control is not going to get it and taking away America's guns is a claim that will end your presidential run. Background checks and gun control are a good step. Anyone remember that Trump was instrumental in removing some of this in his bid to counter anything Obama? Then he claims he is working to correct issues that he himself had created. This is the way of Donald Trump. His demented ego is a big problem and it makes Donald Trump the real national emergency.

Looking back today, my experience has shown me that religion is like people searching for a good food and they switch around from one to another. A proper end result would be to discover that religion is not a food you would want to eat.

It could involve an intention or goal you have set for yourself. We all miss the mark sometimes.

I think some religious people are so stupid that they claim you can make a "god" out of your car or your wife. I have even heard sermons on it. The common mistake is that you must be worshiping something. My question is why do you have to worship anything? Why does everybody have to "serve" somebody? (Sorry, Dylan.) :)

I agree. As a TV and film nut I can also say that the worst kind of sex is what you see in movies and TV. Sometimes they simply throw in a sex scene and it was not even needed. I'm also not a fan of the "head banging" sex that is often added and supposedly considered normal. That would have to be extremely distracting for both parties.

Hang in there. it isn't easy and I know you miss her. Only those who have also lost somebody will come close to knowing how this has effected you. Death and grieving is a part of life and you can get through it.

What about grief?

The timeframe is different with everyone. I once had grief that took me almost 7 years to deal with. You will know when you are ready and do not let anyone push you on as if there is a set timeline. There is not.

It's always a scam. Some will do anything to get me to say the word "yes." I suppose that is for voice notification loans in the future or something. Others want to "reward me" for using credit cards or to distract me for my information by using Medicare. Since Trump and his GOP are doing nothing for or about Medicare why would I bother? Last I heard Trump will give us a fabulous Medicare plan but you have to re-elect him first. Meanwhile, McConnell says the GOP is not going to do anything with healthcare regardless of what Trump says.

How sad it must be to be a Trump supporter....

**I agree totally only they do not see it that way**. If you corner them on Trump being a clever businessman because he cheated others they will reply that he did that because he was a clever businessman.

Trump says.

"The chosen one" is something straight out of false religious beliefs fostered by a DC political fellowship that thought all of our elected officials were "chosen by god.." With various names over the years and hiding their agenda secretly they are now portrayed as "The Family" in a Netflix series. Evangelicals believe this nonsense and it is the current "glue" between church and state. Somehow, if you are elected, you are "chosen by god." It makes me sick and should be illegal.

IDK? It worked for the Jews. Some people even believe that there really was a King David. :)

I wonder how fast gun control legislation would pass if Ivanka was murdered in a mass shooting?

I see the point but there is not too many reasons to shoot Ivanka.
