Also note that biblical genealogy lists Joseph as the father. In the same book at the same time - god as father and Joseph as father. The writers are smarter than "Mary's clever story."

In between that and Susie wanting an abortion once she found she was pregnant is hypothetical and useless to discuss because it is not a real situation needing thought or input. "Let's suppose this or that" doesn't cut it with me. Susie still needs control over her own body. She's not a baby factory.

Exactly. None of this compares to Agolf Twittler.

What do you do when religious people knock?

Allamanda comments on Mar 22, 2019:

if they are really persistent it pays to keep a few opposing tracts or brochures on hand to give THEM, whether Catholic (they think devil-worshippers) or Freedom from Religion Foundation or whatever!

Collect and keep some JW literature to give them when you open the door.

I want to bash religion here and in no way am I bashing a fallen country music star.

RiverRick comments on Mar 22, 2019:

All country music stars are "falling." It's the only shit they write about. I looked up your boy here. The gun was supposedly a prop that went of accidentally. Perhaps someone should have explained that a prop gun doesn't actually shoot. Or... Maybe... They could have just unloaded the gun! ...

DenoPenno replies on Mar 22, 2019:

Thanks for the info. I missed it that the gun was a prop but your info puts this entire mess in a similar light as the death of Brandon Lee while filming "The Crow." Prop guns are not supposed to shoot.

@johnprytz Have it your way, John. If I woke up tomorrow to find a crop circle near me my first thoughts would be that someone is trying to trick us. I would chuckle if anyone took it seriously.

DenoPenno replies on Mar 21, 2019:

I made deliveries to a local garage today and they were talking Trump doing the McCain bashing. They blame Megan McCain because she has some sort of feud going on with Trump. Really. Maybe it's about the constant bashing of her dead father. That would explain it without making Megan the bad guy. Others just said that's Trump's way of communicating with his base. WTF?

I fear that will wake up and tanks are gonna be in the ...

DenoPenno replies on Mar 21, 2019:

Having this fear is exactly why we should work in advance to prevent it. Americans have always said "it cannot happen here" but so many claim they would actually support Trump if he did shoot a man on 5th Avenue. (Recall that Trump once made the claim that he could do a shooting like that and get away with it.)

DenoPenno replies on Mar 21, 2019:

@johnprytz What if I took your remarks and applied them to religion. Maybe I should have tried Islam before I gave up on gods. When you ask me to try making a crop circle this is what I think of. People say "did you actually try other religions?" Why would I want to and what would it prove? I'm left with ideas of trying to explain just a few circles left that could not have been easily made when the majority is explained away. It's like holding out to explain 3 percent of UFO sightings. This shows me that you wanted to believe in advance.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Mar 17, 2019:

No need. Nothing will get done. And besides, it was a white nationalist, the prez gave a nod by not fully denouncing and allowing his white haired witch to say it was an eco terrorist.

DenoPenno replies on Mar 17, 2019:

We should all note that the shooter was inspired by Trump's stand on immigrants and nationalism and said Trump was doing the right thing. This tells me that the spineless shitwad is actually helping to promote such things. He should be removed immediately by any means possible.

He's encouraging violence against citizens of the United States.

KKGator comments on Mar 17, 2019:

45 knows exactly what he's doing. He's still working with Bannon, and they're doing everything they can to tear it all down. Between Bannon, and Stephen Miller, they're all working together to destroy this nation as we know it. I'm not saying this as some sort of conspiracy nut either. ...

DenoPenno replies on Mar 17, 2019:

You are exactly correct here. He insights hate and influenced the New Zealand shooter, then did a tweet on how he was protected by the military and even bikers in case the left wanted to take him down, then he deleted that tweet and finally called the shooting a "massacre." The shooter himself posted on how he was influenced by Trump and his stand for nationalism and white supremacy. Nobody does nothing to get rid of this asshole, and then this morning he pissed and moaned about how SNL should be investigated for saying bad things about him. This man is mentally deranged and not fit to be president!

It has been years since I've had a solid, intimate relationship.

DenoPenno comments on Mar 16, 2019:

I can agree with this. As a man I need sex but a FWB can do that. Intimacy I put into a loving relationship but sex is just a release. It confuses me when someone talks of sex as "making love to someone." That isn't what sex is.

DenoPenno replies on Mar 16, 2019:

@James00346 My concept is that sex is sex. Fucking is fucking. That's how it breaks down really. If you love the one you are fucking that's OK. In fact, that's great but fucking is not "making love." I know this because men who are in love can still fuck other women. They will tell you so. They normally separate their gratification into 2 categories to be able to justify what they are doing.

More antivaxx logic, for your dining pleasure!

DenoPenno comments on Mar 13, 2019:

Well said. Many anti-- vaxxers forget that the first man to come up with the concept was promoting his own vax. Then others came along that figured they could make some money writing books and we bought it.

DenoPenno replies on Mar 14, 2019:

@Aquaeyes If food is being compared above to things in the anti-vaxx movement I am going back to what caused that. A man promoting his own vaccine and how the public missed that part of it, then writers took it up because they wanted to make some money. It's created for money and all false. As long as any child or adult has an allergy to anything it will be considered as "real" and people will fight vaccinations. The truth is, I've seen the demise of deadly diseases in my lifetime due to vaccinations.

Trump grounds those airplanes.... Finally did something right! Too little, too late?

DenoPenno comments on Mar 14, 2019:

Trump has nothing to do with this. Something going on with the airplanes and it most likely is in design. I still remember the crash of an Airbus plane when someone declared the tail rudder steering had been applied to aggressively. The entire tail end of that plane broke off. Ignorant explanation.

DenoPenno replies on Mar 12, 2019:

@Knitfreak Exactly. All is not what it seems. The White House even uses the situation there to talk about Democratic Socialism. The problem is that this is a lie and they know it. Socialism is what they mean but in America Bernie and AOC are Democratic Socialists. Trump and his followers would make you believe that this is next to Communism. It's not true. All we want is healthcare and other benefits. Trump and Putin want Venezuela's oil.

DenoPenno replies on Mar 9, 2019:

@dellik For many of us to fully see your view we would have to know why such a violent man is in conflict with someone in the first place. He may just be a violent man but knowing of any other similar situations with anyone of any skin color might be a start. If he shows violence with other non-whites and none or very little with whites, this would be a good start at pointing to racism.

DenoPenno replies on Mar 8, 2019:

@Beowulfsfriend The strange thing is that he bought it all. He drank the koolaide. Nobody is saying no cows and no airplanes. The thing here in Trumpthink is that Democratic Socialism is considered as next to Communism. They need to ask if the Communists lived without cows or airplanes. People are so damned stupid!

This is so true today. Trumpworld and the Koch brothers are bringing this on like crazy. It's shameful and sad. How about the case in Texas where a female cop shot a man for being in her apartment and she was not even on her floor. Her weak defense was that she was "giving him commands" and he was not responding to them. That case is totally insane!
