DenoPenno replies on Jul 21, 2020:

@LovinLarge I think cats go out looking for people. In our case maybe the cat liked the children and its former owners had no children. Just a thought.

8 Reasons Why Christianity is False.

DenoPenno comments on Jul 6, 2020:

Put together very nicely. Number 5 stands out especially, but it will go over the heads of many. Lots of people see no problems with this god of many names and Jesus who only had one.

DenoPenno replies on Jul 18, 2020:

@Aristippus My illusion to the Jesus name is that he is not Jesus Smith or Jesus Jones. My kids tell me Jesus only needed one name because he is god. They fail to see that this does not explain anything. If you have a Jesus who died and was buried somewhere this leads into why he has so many tombs or burial places. Itr also explains all the cross splinters and nails that we have had over the centuries.

Idiots have told me you could buy one of these at a flea market. What they fail to explain is how it would then connect you with all your other documents in proving who you are.

The massage business was almost like "rent a teen hooker" and they were made available to royalty and even Trump. Epstein knew too much and might have been killed to keep him silent. He also first became rich by convincing a former employer to give him a billion dollars. That man got the models for Victoria's Secret. Epstein knew a lot more secrets than Victoria.

Here Are Some Common Sex Myths That Everyone Really Needs To Stop Believing | IFLScience

Back when I was all young and full of the Spirit and crap, I had an agnostic friend who loved for me to tell her Bible stories. She thought they were a hoot! Stories of the end times puzzled her more than most, though. "But why would God go to all that trouble?" she'd ask. "Why not just 'poof' ...

I would want to see a legal document.

DenoPenno replies on Jun 3, 2020:

A legal document for what? Trump believes in "grabbing them by the pussy" and Epstein was also his friend. Some Trump supporters claim Trump is in many pictures with others and it just happened he was in a pic with Epstein. As for grabbing them by the pussy, Trump gave us that one and added "you can do anything you want." Donald Trump is his own worst enemy. I believe in the Stormy Daniels case money was paid and then they swore an oath not to tell and did a document in other people's names.

Another heartwarming story showing us the beauty in our world.

Why to wear a mask.

Rodatheist comments on May 23, 2020:

The requirement of wearing a face mask is due to the need of health officials to calm people’s fears, and not because it helps in any way. Wearing a mask gives a false sense of security. There is nothing that a mask can do that cannot be accomplished with safe distance, even in the presence of ...

I told my mom that it doesn't matter if Biden or Trump is President. They're both different sides of the same coin. She's not a fan of Biden, but she wants him over Trump. I convinced my mom that it doesn't matter in the slightest. I'm scared for our bleak future.

DenoPenno replies on May 25, 2020:

You are correct about Biden but it DOES matter. With Biden you get a whole new cabinet administration and that means everything. We might have a Secretary of Education who actually knew something about education. Trump brought in his "very best people" and most of them are trying to un-do the EPA and other agencies that we really do need. Everyone deserves clean air and water, food and healthcare. This is a small part in why it matters.

Food for thought here. The bible as we know it today came into being some 300 years after the time of Jesus. Paul is credited with writing almost two thirds of the NT and claims he met this Jesus but it is not true. Jesus was an apparition in the sky only but did speak. How would this said Jesus ...

DenoPenno replies on May 24, 2020:

@LetzGetReal It becomes worse but no one sees it much today. At the turn of the century many preachers told the tale that Jesus in his resurrected and glorified body chose the scars, marks, and piercings he had endured as a permanent reminder of what he wet through, and all for us. LOL Remember that Doubting Thomas had to place his fingers in the holes of the nail scarred hands. If someone tried to kill your friend and he was beat half to death why would you not know him if you saw him? This is just more melodrama into the idea of "could a man really come back from the dead."

@of-the-mountain Yes, they are mixing everything together like mixing a pot. Hard to see the truth isn't it? What I can tell you for sure is that polio and other diseases were whipped in my lifetime by vaccination and nobody got autism. As for your sources claiming people that Epstein met with and citing facts, big deal. Epstein was also very close with Donald Trump, so I recommend keeping American politics OUT of this pot that is being mixed so well. If that is not done you have to conclude that the entire world is in on the conspiracy that is being woven together. Most Americans think that and believe that American politics controls it all. They want to connect the dots. I rest my case.

Maybe it means that you yourself will never have to go to one. It's remarks like this that make others claim they will not debate politics with me. I don't debate. I just mention facts like this and I don't have to use names to explain the self-evident. Others are living in a fantasy world enforced by The Turd and our current regime.

I read this and thought you were talking about Trump. After all, many are believing that Trump is "cleaning the swamp" by going after anyone in office before him. They even have enough guts to claim that the liar is a patriot. He almost makes me wanna stand at a ballgame and place my hand over my heart. That must be what patriots do. A good way of defending Trump is to talk about other people. Be sure and mention Hillary while you are at it because many Trumpers think both her and Obama will end up behind bars because of Donald Trump. I'm wondering when I should start laughing. Maybe I should have had a Hillary or Obama hat or flag. Thing is, I did an honorable tour of duty and do not wear hats or fly flags.

DenoPenno replies on Apr 28, 2020:

@Ray13 The Bruce Bennett Tarzan films were the ones approved by Burroughs and the role was played as an educated man like in the novels he wrote. Buster Crabbe was in a Tarzan film where he seemed like an idiot trying to rescue Mary. The problem with the film was that they only had half of it. The other reel was lost and Tarzan may have came out looking better if they had it. Everyone was trying to be Weissmuller at the time. I saw lots of Lex Barker Tarzan films but did not like him at all.
