But God Didn’t Say That: Religious Community Members Talk God and Abortion - YouTube

DenoPenno comments on Mar 26, 2022:

When does the soul enter the body? I'm wondering if this would be a natural infusion or if the body would want to keep it out. Then there is the logical breath idea. The baby is a living being and a soul when it draws it's first breath. Ideas do not stay that way because Evangelicals keep changing things.

I'm not sure if the horse is religious or not but the bibble says Jesus and some angels will be riding horses in the sky. Maybe that's where the song "Ghost Riders" came from.

Believers all feel so important that they have to be a part of "the last days." It becomes more real to them if they are living it as it happens right now. Robertson, the JW's, and others have been calling it for years. They forget that their holy book itself says this cannot be done. It does not stop them because they personalize their faith. My long time religious friend told me he believed he was living in the last days. I guess he was. He died a little over a month ago. Yes, he died a Christian and I cannot see him talking to Jesus or god. His dead body did not go anywhere and his spirit was his life. This all ended because he is now dead.

If this is true it means the Russians will take this to the max in using against her and use all the worst words to describe her drug that they can. Also if this is true, it means that Griner most likely had some USA approved CDB oil with her at the time. Why would she do that? Maybe not thinking. Keep in mind the timing of this (Russia invades the Ukraine) and keep in mind that Griner is a two time Olympic gold medalist. Political move for sure and I feel for the family.

Why would anyone think this message could be changed or influenced and what does the Confederacy have to do with it? Once it was over and the trucker convoy disbanded, the flag came down again.

Therefore Russia moved in and took the weapons and neutralized the threat then, annexed the Ukraine in order to keep watch on them. All of the bell ringing in the world in support of the Ukraine is doing nothing. I am against American troops going there to fight because we do not need WW3.

Seeing the two Karens act out around black people only brings out their inner turmoil. Believing that white supremacy is OK is only the beginning of a bigger problem.

Dad's funeral was on 9-11.

DenoPenno comments on Mar 3, 2022:

You can make mistakes under stress. I just came back today 3-3-22 to view my favorite post. Going over it again top to bottom, my daughters picked everything out and ran the show. (Par. 1) By the time you get to paragraph 3 I'm telling my oldest daughter, the acting POA, how to get the nursing home to use dad's saved up money from the nursing home and pay it as a gift or donation towards his burial. (Yes this is legal.) That was exactly what happened too. I suppose it is normal for people to tell you to get lots of copies of a death certificate. In this case, why? Dad had no estate. Nothing. I had control of his money and his life insurance through my oldest daughter, the acting POA. Medicaid helped me with some of this and they even paid for his nursing home. Medicaid got the bulk of dad's social security and pension. You just have to know how these systems work to be able to use them and benefit from them.

This includes murder and mass genocide. Many Evangelicals (and even our own) like him because he appears to be the last hope against diversity. This is believed because many white fools worship a god who was too dumb to know that mankind would invent airplanes. Oh, but the races must be kept separate. Really? At what cost? Russians think that Ukrainians are a nation of mongrels.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 26, 2022:

I stand with the Ukrainians and all free people of our world. That does not mean American should go to war over this. Right now a few Russians are demonstrating and being reminded that it is treason to do so. The former Russian president lets it be known that he stands with Putin. The West is lying. Media there is very silent on this issue. Inside the Ukraine we are told that Putin's forces are advancing on the capital. The Ukrainian president is telling everyone he stands with his people. 100,000 or more have left for Poland and other areas. Video shows that the streets themselves either has lots of confused people or in some areas very little people. Video shows apartments and other building partially destroyed but Putin claims he is not targeting civilians. Putin claims his actions are against a traitorist faction in the Donbass area only. They seem to be so much up to no good that the Army had to be called in. He said a similar thing in 2014 but was not believed. My opinion is that Putin wants to take back all of the old Russian empire and stop Democracy from spreading. Most of the world shares that idea. At present between 198 and 250 locals have been killed in the capital. Video shows that 200 miles away nothing is much happening. I have the privilege of watching news and video from all over the world. Not everyone has that. Sean Penn has announced that he is going to the Ukraine to make a documentary. His choice. I would stay away. He may not come back as this escalates. All sorts of sanctions are being applied to Putin and the Russian oligarchs. None of this looks good because we might soon find ourselves unable to get into our bank accounts. Russia will fight back in many cyber attacks. This can lead to food shortages along with higher gas and oil prices. Unless this ends quickly we are all in for a horrible ride. The Lincoln Project posted a very good video on it in the Russian language. It is called "OLd Man" and it asks outright what the Russian people will think when their young men return in body bags all to please Putin the older man. I would paste it here now but my copy and paste is not working. If you have access to You Tube look for the Lincoln Project videos there.

Becoming robots in a death cult has corrected the flaw.

I see that the old.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 25, 2022:

I see it as religion being invented to supply answers when we had no answers. God belief of some sort explained everything. The argument then became "my god is better than your god." Science and reason came along and the religious went back and forth with them on which one was right. I found this hilarious because Evangelicals all used the dating system of the Catholics but claimed Catholics were wrong at the same time. Various explanations of the 7 day creation follows this, and it still does. I take politics as simply a way of winning elections, but in American Ronald Reagan said let believers into the GOP. Today we have the biggest bunch of stupidity that you ever saw. Our system is totally laughable. Now 17 percent of Americans believe in Q. One Congresswoman thinks the California fires were started by giant Jewish space lasers. I know a man who thinks Trump was actually our 19th president but his story on how that worked is all bullshit. When was he sworn in? It is not so much that religion is a crime belief, but that religion has become a crime belief. In the beginning religion wanted answers when there were no answers. Then they made it all up and continue to make it all up today. Even as it gets more absurd they continue to believe that they are right. Somehow they have the answers that are right, but it is all a crock.

Religion is not a watchdog. Everyone is fascinated with the mechanics of how we got here. I like porn pics too but have no suggestive sexual remarks to go along with any of them. We live in an age where this is the trophy that everyone wants. Only an oddball does not have this. People I know do not show up in sexual pics on my computer.
