Religious leader wants to display Indian scriptures in Louisiana public classrooms

DenoPenno comments on Jun 25, 2024:

Fine. Let them do it because this is what will happen if ignorant men like Landry make a show of Christianity. All faiths have to be displayed now.

Atheism is the religion of self imposed ignorance.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 25, 2024:

Totally wrong. Being "without gods" has nothing to do with a religion.

I know no one here believes in God.

Very simple. No god, no divinity.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 24, 2024:

What I see here is the test to "see if you are human" before you can visit a site. The ironic thing is that AI is deeply involved in this so called "test" in the first place. I'm sick of it and have complained already. It does no good and most people simply do not get it. What is the robot (if you are one) going to do with the site? Eat it or steal it. Then I wonder if you have to have a thieving robot. This situation has gotten so bad that often I have to go through the "how many stop lights" thing before I can watch a video. Why?

Bottom Line: Oil magnate accused of OPEC collusion brings on top lobbying shop -- The Hill

DenoPenno comments on Jun 23, 2024:

Whether the issue is oil and gas or anything else, lobbying has a distinct meaning to me. It appears to mean that we bring up issues again and again and get followers. We have issues and wheels that need some grease. If we make noise long enough we will have people who see things our way. We are fast being worked into groups that lobby for things without a lot of us seeing what is going on. In our upcoming future more and more people will make a living through lobbying.

Some conservative Christians want more from Trump on abortion.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 23, 2024:

Donna Widawski has a right idea here. Leave it with the states is where it should be. If this is done correctly no one will have authority or ability to punish a person who travels outside their state for the purpose of abortion. You can travel outside your state for anything else and if we have a Federal guideline here it should be a "leave them alone guideline. Take your religious mush away and punishments away. Abortion in this state yes or no. That is very simple and now you have your law.

If you answer back that I am telling you something about Biden it means that you did not get the message. Read it again and then wake up.

Melting? Fossil Fuels Have Made Extreme Heat 35 Times More Likely in North America – Mother Jones

DenoPenno comments on Jun 23, 2024:

Ways to stay cool in this heat. My current method is to run my propane powered AC to where my inside temps are no higher than 78 degrees, then have my indoor Lasko Wind Machines (I have 2) placed strategically to where my indoor temp is more like 72 degrees. This works very well unless my indoor temp gets around 75 degrees and it then gets too damned cold. Also, drink plenty of fluids.

With all of the above understood why would anyone in America today think that words of some ancient god would mean anything to use as those words were not originally in English. This is as bad as saying Sam is a nice guy but we should call him Bobby. Or look at Deng Xaioping and dumb Americans called him Dung Chow Ping. Then ignorant hillbillies said Shitty Food Knock. Words do appear to mean everything and not always as they were assigned.

Palestinian struggles under Israeli occupation. I think it has always been that way since Israel became a state. I also think it will continue this way as long as Hamas is anywhere in the picture. There is a way of stopping all this murder and bloodshed. It is called "stop attacking Israel." If anyone can wrap their brain around this idea it might work perfectly. We have kids in college against all this carnage and they demonstrate in support of Palestine. The problem with their message is that under Hamas they would not be able to demonstrate. Apparently they cannot see this.

I hate Hobby Lobby and David Green. These are just terms I use because of their policies. I would still go there, but understand also that Green had to turn lose of some items he had in his Museum of the Bible. The items were considered stolen and belonged to other countries. I'm aware that I cannot pick your friends also, but religious ones I no longer have. (Maybe my 2 daughters but they do things their own way.) I do not have a "lack of faith." It can be called that but I learned what faith really is. It is as imaginary as the god it supposedly applies to. I have seen behind the curtain. I got into CD's because of my insurance agent. She said I could make money this way and it was a lot better than just having the money in the bank. Not so long ago I showed my drinky neighbor one certificate in hopes he would understand something and leave me alone. I'm not sure he can read. He insists that Michelle Obama is the reason our local public schools stopped the food for children program. She signed something or snuke it in there when she was in office, he says. I tell him she was never in any office. He says he knows people who will disagree with me. She told everyone that "you can have 2 chicken nuggets, but not 4", he said. Sometimes I damned near have to run him off and most of the time I hide out inside my own place. Lots of people just do not get that.

He did not pose for paintings and there were no cameras in his time.
