Tucker Carlson is just another nutjob. Nonsense like this does take it's toll. At my work recently I was called into the office because I was reported for "talking about Biden." I pointed out to my GQP boss that no one hears me talk about Biden. He knows I do not do this. The bottom line then was that I can only talk about work related things. Really? They don't want you doing that either. How dare you tell me what to talk about and accuse me of talk that I do not do.

God did not know about any slaves in America at that time. In fact, neither god nor the bible writers knew America even existed.

We humans have came along much faster than that god person ever expected we would.

I have often heard atheists and agnostics accused of believing in nothing, especially by apologists.

DenoPenno comments on Apr 4, 2022:

I continually hear arguments asking where you got your morality. Does that mean you want to be poked in the eye with a stick? We can travel that path without gods. As for atheists believing in nothing, my take on this one is that we refuse to make up shit on how we got here or what happens when we die. This is true for me because I no longer do so. Where am I going after I die? I'm either cremated or buried unless some wild animal eats me. Oh, I'm sorry. You were referring to that non-existent part of me that Saul of Tarsus made popular. The big surprise is that until we know otherwise, being dead most likely means we are dead. Yes, dead and gone in this world putting things back to where they were before you were born. If I am wrong please show me the proof. For those who think Jesus was "the first fruits of the dead" with ideas that the believer would follow, they obviously have not read their bible. Look around and you will find other writings where people return, having survived death. Mankind is so afraid of non-existence. People just keep on making things up.

DenoPenno comments on Mar 30, 2022:

I read your post and it takes me into viewing world conflicts and aggressions through the eyes of American political parties. Everything does not come out of a 2 party view or QAnon view. My best example is the never dying clap trap about Hunter Biden and his laptop hard drive. Yes, of course. We know a lot of money changed hands and lots of it even went to old Joe, and it was all illegal, and guess what -- the Republicans have that Biden hard drive. Talk about bullshit. Who can explain how that one happened? Even those making all the noise can't tell you what is on that hard drive, but oh, there is a lot on there. Enough to kill for. Now let me jump into the Russian aggression. Men, women, and children are dying because Putin is afraid the Ukraine might join NATO and he will lose some territory. Since this quick takeover did not work as planned, the new word from Russia was that their men were on training missions around the Ukraine and suddenly they were all fired upon. Russia did nothing and the Ukraine started it all. They had no choice but to fight back. Donbass bombings and Alley of Angels. How old is this and why not on the news? I watch news in English from all over the world almost daily. Looks like an invasion to me. The above is some of the bullshit that I smell.
