Thank you for posting. I go along with everything Jennifer Rubin said here. The problem to me is that people want to believe the rest of us are attacking Trump if we bring any of this up. Pointing out the problem is not an attack. Just today I brought some of these things up and 2 others immediately started attacking Biden. Since these 2 were younger people I brought into view that none of this is a popularity game or show. I will vote blue because I want services that we all need and should have to remain untouched and this is needed at any age. These 2 being younger I presented it all as voting for the most pretty person as compared to an ugly person. This is not what it is about. Our election this year is about keeping our much needed services available for all of us. Not just a few racists who want power.

Thanks for posting this, Gwen. I find common sense and knowledge here and have also been able to hear your voice. Grow your hair anyway that you want it to be. After all, it is your hair. You look good too. I'm beginning to grow a beard in my own hair color. A couple of women told me to do this and it never dawned on me that they wanted to see less of my face. As I age it is nice to not shave and cut the hell out of myself. As for marriage and relationships I'm seeing it your way and not wanting this again. The company is nice but I find that I have also become a recluse.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 28, 2024:

Keep in mind that I once studied to be a Pentecostal minister. A few years ago I woke up. Christians love the idea that the Jews were gods chosen people but few know what that means. They were chosen to spread the message (according to them) about god and what this god wanted. Most of our world now is taken in by this and not many have logical thinking. Jumping right in to the heaven ideas people carry, most believers make it up..The bible itself talks of a heaven with walls, gates, etc.(Maybe your god wants to keep you inside.) Consider also that what you do there according to the bible is sing gods praises forever and ever. Hey, wait a minute. What about that big family reunion and heaven being about humans living forever? God says nothing about that in his book. Now let's get into the great White Thrown judgement. Most Evangelicals think this has to happen in real time and not in a twinkling of an eye. Believers claim that we have all the time needed because we will be in eternity. Big problem here. How long has mankind been on Earth? Surely this judgement would take at least that much time. I think that time as we know it would almost have to be stopped for this to happen. Exactly what is eternity? There are so many other things wrong with the whole idea of sitting at god's table and everything that goes with it but this will work for starters. The entire idea of what our bible says is close to being ridiculous when you read and study it. The men that wrote it did not live at the same time and did not know each other.
