@TomMcGiverin People are so ate up today that they will set around a dinner table and text each other. They would also prefer to do a job interview as a text. My oldest daughter is 54 and she will text you until you get enough to make up a letter. Why not just e-mail a letter in the first place? Recently a person got my cell number and was so happy that now we could text each other. Why? I've even seen ads from women wanting to have a "text buddy." Words on a screen do not excite me. AI can do that. I'm also resistant on words like "ur." I will not ask you what happened to "ur" car.

Great article, and I so agree with its message! Materialism seems to be fueled by competitive and insecure natures and personalities. So, I have to ask, why are we Americans so competitive and insecure?

DenoPenno replies on Jan 4, 2019:

Apparently because our neighbor and friend has it and we don't. What is "it" that they have? It might be a new car or phone, or a brand new $1400 computer that is no bigger than a kindle.

DenoPenno replies on Dec 24, 2018:

Exactly so as it was his job to impregnate his brother's widow. The "sin" is therefore one of greed. If Onan had of obeyed his brother's resulting children would of had an inheritance. The church world makes it all more about the seed on the ground. They need to study more. Onan was a greedy man and would inherit all his brother had unless his brother also had children.

Deconstructing SIN.

DenoPenno comments on Dec 5, 2018:

Paul defined "sin" as "missing the mark" when he compared it to archery practice when you are shooting an arrow at the bullseye of the target. I assume the bullseye is "the mark" that you are shooting for. I won't get into this any more than that because I'm not teaching Sunday School.

DenoPenno replies on Dec 5, 2018:

@rcandlish I think you missed the whole thing. "The mark" is wording that came out of Greek language for what we would call a bullseye. Paul used the example of target practice and how the goal is to hit that bullseye. Sometimes, try as we may, that does not happen. "Sin" is missing the mark. It has nothing to do with abortion, drinking, smoking, or any individual thing a person might do. To sin is to not follow god's law even though we might be trying to. Like the bullseye we are trying to hit, we just keep trying.

Yes, this is true, but I never did believe that modern Rabbi's did circumcisions with a pencil sharpener.

SPECULATE ON WHAT THIS MEANS - My ex and I are still friends and frequently go out together.

DenoPenno comments on Dec 3, 2018:

It probably means something. Understand that I'm still friends with my ex also. I would like to have the relationship with her that you have with yours, but if I did she would probably ask me to buy her something. I miss the days we went mall shopping and later had dinner in the mall.

DenoPenno replies on Dec 3, 2018:

@John_Tyrrell You might say Trump picked him so as to help guarantee that Trump would remain president. Pence and followers are all for the "religious America" that so many have been clamoring for all these years. They are the hope of the "Christian Nation" fanatics.

DenoPenno replies on Nov 30, 2018:

@jorj I agree with you except that I have never seen Trump or his GOP base wanting to give us healthcare under any name. Mostly they want to take it away from us and body slam reporters who ask about it.

I agree and only very slowly do I see the repulsicans as starting to pull away from Trump. The way things are going they will have to start doing this or forever go down as being insane when it comes to normal thought process. As for Trump, I can see him ranting and raving well into the future, playing to his base so strongly, and maybe even starting to create civil war. People should remember that this is not pretty strong of me. It's pretty strong of a deranged Orange Clown.

DenoPenno replies on Nov 17, 2018:

@HippieChick58 When you reinstall Chrome it will chose the default path. If that was the path you had before and you did not chose a custom install it will then install right over the previous installation and it does sometimes fix things. I'm a self taught IT type but I've noticed as I get older I get "fat fingers" that hit wrong keys. This method will tend to work if that was what happened to you because there is no way to know what keys you accidentally hit.

What is happening here is that the GOP wants you to take their form of Medicare and they push it as being better. It is not. I get e-mail and calls all the time. The USA is still about Big Pharma
