DenoPenno comments on Jun 10, 2021:

No, because this was all in god's plan and nobody knows god's plan. In my lifetime this type of tragedy would be explained away by claiming god just needed more angels in Heaven and this was what it is all about. The problem with this belief is that it does not hold up to bible scriptures. Humans do not become angels at death but the majority of believers still cling to that idea.

(I placed this post in the "academic" category, because I speak about education in America.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 10, 2021:

The American educational system has been compromised and that has brought us to this point. Originally the idea was to help all of us learn but along the way this changed into things like not teaching government in schools and no longer having to learn cursive writing, etc, etc. The religious were enticed away by QAnon type beliefs that slowly entered the system. Some of these went back a few years and some of them are things believers fear. Along comes your Cheato and gets a following by claiming he hates everything that you do. Followers claim he is going to come back any day now. Well, maybe in July. Our political system is being set up for fascist dictatorship and the ignorant are just too dumb to know it.

I agree with the man. My example just today on a delivery to religious right wing Trump supporters is that they started in telling me California had swayed away from god and that is why they have such bad drought. They even had Gidean bibles removed from hotels, they told me. Severe drought is god's punishment right along with the many fires. I smiled as I left and said I hoped they did not believe giant Jewish space lasers were actually starting the fires. Why is it that people cannot view news events without comparing them to the bible in some way?

The body of Jamie Jost was found in a wooded area of St. Clair, Mo. just a week ago. Her sister, Annie, reported the series of events I have described here to her first cousin who gave me the info. Annie is the last surviving member of that immediate family. I believe the story to have happened much as I described it. There was no foul play because Jamie Jost at 37 was ate up with cancer. I think she realized it was too late and she also did not know what to do. If you follow my link her picture does not really do her justice. She will be missed. I can't copy and paste to save my life tonight. Search Jamie Jost in Facebook or search the Net for her body being found in St. Clair, Mo. In FB she had 2 accounts with one for Sullivan, Mo. and the other for Robertsville, Mo.

For all of the top Trumpism here on the virus and a bioweapon you forgot to add the key word "Obama" as to how this bioweapon got released in the first place. Pure Trump, this type of reasoning put me in the right direction to start with. Meanwhile, over half of the Republicans still believe the election was stolen. I sincerely hope what the Biden Team is doing here will release info that might start to change that idea. As for real ideas of where the virus came from let's ask if the virus mutates. I'm sure it does. Isn't that what happened when we were finally over the Spanish Flu of 1918? There was not even a vaccine then. As for knowing where this virus came from, I'm asking where the first disease germ came from? The only real difference I'm seeing here is a possible changing of political views and that might draw support.

DenoPenno comments on May 24, 2021:

It is true that history says nothing of him and no mention of him occurs in his own time. Imagine that calming the sea would be something most fishermen would want. Feeding the masses would be popular if lots of folks were hungry. In the OT there was about 9 people raised from the dead, but this happened before the writers knew we would have books on it today. Since other religions had people raised from the dead it must have been very popular. Walking on water must have been a good trick but Jesus always hung around fishermen and boats.
