Happy New Year. This time difference alone is enough to discredit believers thinking they will be caught up to meet Jesus in "the twinkling of an eye." Truth is if it was real news media would cover it telling where Jesus is going to be next. Bible people never heard of time zones coz to them the world is flat.

DenoPenno comments on Dec 31, 2022:

It does seem that way but my take on it is that the religious do not see this. They appear to honestly think that pleading with god can change his mind on something. Remember that their book is full of this type of story. Also, if you follow the local pastor of your church god is always opening and closing doors for you. It's sort of like a game show where you wonder what is behind door number three.

Whoopi Goldberg Reiterates False Claim That Holocaust Wasn't Racist

DenoPenno comments on Dec 27, 2022:

Goldberg is wrong on this. I read it this morning. Think for a minute about "white on white violence." Since you could not look at someone Jewish and know their race, it follows logically that they are also white. This means Whoopi missed the point. Hitler and his goons marked shops, homes, and business to make these people stand out and be maligned in what finally led to the Holocaust.

DenoPenno comments on Dec 27, 2022:

As a former church goer and would be minister here is what I got out of Arabs and Jews. The Jews ended up with a nation called Israel. Palestinian Arabs were out in the cold. Somewhere along the way modern Christiandom wanted everyone to think that if Palestinians were good boys they could get theirs too. How? There's no land left for their nation. How in the hell is this ever going to work? It's totally impossible. I'll also make a bet that if America had a lot of Muslim influence in 1948 the Jews would not have got a nation. Arafat once said that fighting and winning a war over there depended upon who had the biggest god. He was smarter than many thought.

God is too stupid to know what is best. You have to ask him for things and he keeps on opening or closing doors. This is the Christian way of life and it's like a game show. You do not know what is behind door number 3.

There is not enough evidence to show that he existed. I was going to write an opinion here but but it is pretty easy for me to just agree with LenHazell53. Modern Evangelicals think that Paul was so great and he wrote a lot of the NT but my view is that Paul was the Antichrist. He promoted and practiced "woo" and never even met Jesus. Is this because that there was no Jesus to have met? The mystery of Paul and his views are similar to Constantine and the council out of which came our big book bible that so many today think is a beginning and an end to everything about mankind. It's totally preposterous!

Ohio teacher told principal using students' preferred pronouns violated her religion.

DenoPenno comments on Dec 17, 2022:

I'm on the side of the teacher on this one and religion has nothing to do with my view. When kids want to be identified by their preferred pronoun and that means a new name that is related to their chosen gender this might be a bit too much. I see a girl changing names cause she identifies as a boy, and vice versa, but some of these preferred pronouns are a real doozy. I do have a problem with this though because I do not see it as the teacher having to choose "between her faith and her job." If that is her view then maybe she should not be a teacher in the first place.
