She will not go willingly but this is something that you must do. It was all the opposite with my step dad. He was convinced that he needed to borrow money from others and did so constantly with many relatives chipping in. Some were upset that I did not give him money. It took him falling and breaking a hip to get him into a nursing home and once there he told stories of driving my dead mother to the hospital about once a week. The man no longer had a car and could not drive. Do what you have to do before it becomes tragic. You will need a POA and a good attorney can tell you how to proceed. This may involve state agencies. Investigate it and find out.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 12, 2023:

The irony of all this to me is that Jesus was a Jew and so many people worldwide want to believe books in the OT were talking about Jesus. This would be impossible and is in accord with Dr. Ehrman as he makes claims about gospel books themselves without a claim about Christianity. So many people just do not get it. The bible is not one great big book written about your god or written by your god.

Also in a case of total collapse it is not likely for you have a freezer packed with food like they wanted to sell you on in the 1970's. Today the idea is sell you on packaged food that you simply mix with good clean water. Where would you get that water?

DenoPenno comments on Feb 10, 2023:

Free will is a biblical concept that apologists have come up with because god wants you to worship him freely and openly without being forced or commanded to do so. That is where free will comes from and all it is. In reality you have the free will to rape and kill the same as those you did harm to have the free will to be raped and killed. We have taken the term out of religion and the bible when we view it this way. I might have the free will to marry Susie, but then, maybe not. Free will is a myth.

You may have heard—or even used—the terms religion and spirituality interchangeably.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 9, 2023:

From the perspective of the soul. What soul? You were not made with a soul, given a soul, or created with a soul. You are the soul. This soul idea goes back to biblical belief for most of us whether you are an active in church believer today or not. We keep hanging on to an idea that we have some invisible non physical soul that travels around everywhere, knows and seeks what we want, and can be in our out of our bodies. Sorry. That's your mind. If you hang on to biblical beliefs on the soul idea you learn that a god breathed into you and you became "a living soul." The hell with St. Paul. OK, I guess you could also be a dead soul if not living. Again, you are the soul. As for the other great questions here like "who am I, what do I want, what is my purpose, and what is the meaning of life" you have to figure these out on your own. The answers are not the same for every individual. You make your own purpose and create your own meaning. There is nothing mystical about this. Spirituality is a term and "being spiritual" can mean anything that you want it to mean.

I last talked to her on the phone when she called me January 2nd. We talked an hour but have talked up to 4 hours at a time. I always have her laughing and gigling and that makes me happy. Once the call is over I feel very good but I'm also aware that I have less stress in my life today than I did before and I like it that way.

Some of this fascist talk moves on into the shooting down of the Chinese balloon. Some are saying Biden just wants to look tough and we planted that balloon. How could it have traveled across our air space without being detected? Apparently it does not matter that they sent balloons when Trump was in office but it never got reported to the White House. If that happened then someone is not doing their job. Maybe again Trump is the clue here. In an attempt to make Biden look bad people forget that China admits it was their balloon. Yes, they said that and any half way intelligent person would know that news media worldwide has picked up on this. American political parties do not control worldwide media. It would be so easy to prove that America is lying about this. Media somewhere would bring it out. China would bring it out as false themselves. WTF is wrong with people? Apparently Trumpers have to go along with the Chinese balloon being an American "plant" so Trump keeps looking good. Adding this an hour later. I talked with my insurance agent and she says a "military man" told her the China balloon is a "plant" by Biden. She also says she is getting tired of Trump being used to support Republican ideas. It makes her angry and she is a Republican. In her circle of known people I am also a 'military man" but I make no claims about our defense systems. LOL :)

DenoPenno comments on Feb 5, 2023:

We do fund healthcare. If you have not heard Social Security expands into where the needy can get healthcare for themselves and children who need it. This is an insurance program but Republicans keep using the word "entitlement" in a bad way and want to dismantle it or tear it down. They also want to determine who can benefit by having nutrition classes and exercise before giving anything to the needy. This only proves who is in control and has nothing to do with the needy. I'm really glad that you are a health expert but I can shorten this a bit. Here I am in 1978 and at that time I could press 110 lbs. overhead with one hand. Either hand. I worked out and had good nutrition. Times, people, and other things change. Today I have neuropathy, walk in special shoes, and have balance problems. I continue to work at 76 years old. Maybe some of your ideas would have helped me to be as healthy as you instead. I might add that I am a Progressive. I believe our nation should provide work, healthcare, food, and housing with no regard to race or origin. Other countries do this and we can too if we ever stop our political nonsense.

Re-branding Jesus?

DenoPenno comments on Feb 5, 2023:

Taking my thoughts on it to the extreme I wonder how long it would take for us to have a completely different Jesus? This is what Green is trying to do. It is no different than having apologists make claims over ideas that we know are not there to begin with. It can be said that David Green is a super religious nut. He had to return some items from his Museum because he did not own them. If you spend 3 billion to re-brand Jesus you must be expecting to get more money in return. People do and say strange things. One man in our group told me recently that words Jesus supposedly said over 2000 years ago were supporting the separation of church and state. I can see that. :) A religious Jew in ancient Israel is supporting the American Constitution and Bill of Rights. He had no idea our country existed when he supposedly made the remark. If Green has his way maybe Jesus will come back as a Christian Nationalist. Jesus never started Christianity in the first place. He was a Jew trying to become the Messiah. None of this had anything to do with America.

Church believers want to have a soul, something their god gave them, and it can fly around instantly once separated from the body at death. If you love your god and follow his teachings you can see your loved ones in heaven, but this is not in the bible. Singing god's praises forever and ever is in the bible. Those nasty JW's. They are taking away from your beliefs and want to change them. Ask a Pentecostal or a Baptist. They know. :)

Beaten by cops for a traffic violation - then you die. It seems this is the way for fascists to retain power in America today. The rebellion is not in people like the late Tyre Nichols. It is in those wanting to retain power. Police departments, state governments, et al. Let's not let it spread all over America. We must stop this before it gets embedded into our nations government.

Look what one of my apps has just reported: online stalking. Does it happen to you?

My browser has AdBlocker Ultimate and I avoid lots of nonsense that way. I'm not worried about which companies are stalking me because all of them do that now. They either want to sell you something or get your business somehow. Others might want to give you a virus. It's not likely you would find where they are and go throw rocks at them for this, so I just let my programs take care of things. Avast is a good free antivirus. Avira Free Security Suite is another. I hate Cortana, the spy, and have ripped her out of my systems on all 3 of my desktop computers. I have also destroyed Windows Defender because that it what it does. It defends Windows and Microsoft. Windows Update is total nonsense that needs to be turned off most of the time. I have a program that does that with one click. You have to watch Microsoft because every 180 days they want to sneak in with the "best Windows program ever" for you. To me this means that you just get things working like you want them and they step in to show you they are the boss. F.U., Charlie. I'm running your operating system the way I want to. Go away and leave me alone. I don't want to restart my computer and have their big surprise screw up my programs. You can get outside programs to cover so many things. Sordum.org has a few of these. I run everything as admin but this is not the highest title you can have. Sordum has a program that gives you the rights of the Windows "trusted installer." This is the highest user level on any Windows system.

I use Glary Utilities and also Privacy Eraser to do some of these things. One of two clicks and you are done.

While George is telling us the truth here keep in mind that voting is needed. The reason is that every society will have a leader and even dictators will have their people vote. This is so they can claim their authority is "legal."

Does anyone else agree with me that we should be DISCUSSING religion rather than DEBATING it?

I have a killer point to silence the other side. Constantine arranged for the 66 smaller books we know as our bible to be put into book form complete with beginning and end, and this happened some 300 plus years after the time of Jesus. This is a fact. To add variables you have to go into ancient Jewish writings that had nothing to do with Christianity as we know it today. People put so much stock into "the truth of Revelation" but that book barely made it into the known canon. Believers hold onto what Jesus was said to believe from the OT but Christians forget that Jesus was a Jew. People can argue this back and forth if they want to but it proves nothing. Jewish people do not even see the OT writings in the same context that modern Christians do. Once I make this all known I refuse to argue the point. The "what ifs" or let's suppose" and "maybe" about it are all pointless. Either that or others are filling in points around things I've written above.

55% of adults think Jesus will return to Earth (this includes 1% of atheists. [allisrael.com]

Let's try the true Scotsman argument. We will include true atheists.

I seldom think of my own mortality except for wanting my death to have no pain. I am also aware that death brings on much unfinished business. As for loved ones who have died, I was never there at their last moments. Here today and gone tomorrow is a true saying.

Covid-19 is a leading cause of death for children in the US, despite relatively low mortality rate -...

So very true. I have been vaccinated my entire life and I remember measles and diphtheria. I also remember and knew people who had polio. The anti-vaxxers need to know that even anthrax did not go away on its own.
