A Christian Apologist’s Unhealthy Attitude About Sex - YouTube

DenoPenno comments on May 27, 2021:

Yes, sex is a big problem. I think about it all the time. Trying to control the sex lives of others along with dealing with corporate work models dictates most of the stress in our lives. The corporate work model is strict and does not care what you think. Put that together with the stress of sex and some people snap. Apologists like Turek simply make biblical excuses for controlling sex lives but it is not a working hypothesis. It only causes more stress.

What is there about a book that became popular as we know it some 300 plus years after the time of Jesus that you want me to know about? Also, did the people resurrected in the OT have to die again later? How about the ones who came out of the tombs as Jesus died? Yes, there is nonsense like this and the believers still think I am angry with their god. I'm also pissed off at Casper too.

Letters From An American 05/26/2021

DenoPenno comments on May 27, 2021:

For all of the top Trumpism here on the virus and a bioweapon you forgot to add the key word "Obama" as to how this bioweapon got released in the first place. Pure Trump, this type of reasoning put me in the right direction to start with. Meanwhile, over half of the Republicans still believe the election was stolen. I sincerely hope what the Biden Team is doing here will release info that might start to change that idea. As for real ideas of where the virus came from let's ask if the virus mutates. I'm sure it does. Isn't that what happened when we were finally over the Spanish Flu of 1918? There was not even a vaccine then. As for knowing where this virus came from, I'm asking where the first disease germ came from? The only real difference I'm seeing here is a possible changing of political views and that might draw support.

DenoPenno comments on May 24, 2021:

It is true that history says nothing of him and no mention of him occurs in his own time. Imagine that calming the sea would be something most fishermen would want. Feeding the masses would be popular if lots of folks were hungry. In the OT there was about 9 people raised from the dead, but this happened before the writers knew we would have books on it today. Since other religions had people raised from the dead it must have been very popular. Walking on water must have been a good trick but Jesus always hung around fishermen and boats.

Americans in the 2 party system have been taught to hate each other and they all claim the other party is doing exactly what they are doing. Yes, the pot is calling the kettle black. Those who caused this are elated and those who try to explain it take you back 40 years or more in a distraction that they claim reveals the "right now." If they see little audience the claim is that you have climbed back into your personal rabbit hole. My guess is that many of us are doing that and trying to hide.

DenoPenno comments on May 2, 2021:

Many people are like that. My bible studies came basically from Finis Jennings Dake. He believed that heaven was another planet. Earlier in my religious life I believed that we all came from Mars and that Mars was the kingdom (planet) given to Satan (or Lucifer) before he rebelled. This fits in with the "pre-Adamite" belief of Dake and others. With "war in heaven" (or the heavens) as described in Revelation this all came to an end and that mean old Devil was watching the new humans to see how many of them he could get away from God. Also, "demons" are bodiless spirits left over from the Mars rebellion and they bother us because they want a body again. Put this all together in our modern world and you have a basic mythical system that helps you explain the things that we do not know. I'm glad I woke up and got out of it all. As for heaven being a planet, I've listened to late night radio talk shows where the subject is something large like a planet and it is slowly headed our way. I take this as an exaggeration of scriptures claiming that heaven came down to earth or something. Armageddon headed our way soon. It's nonsense but it is all real.
