SoThis Is Christmas

 Texas Governor Abbott bussed asylum seekers to D.C. dumping them in frigid temperatures outside V.P. Kamela Harris' residence. 

Yahoo held everyone of my comments for approval. MAWAs out in full force making ugly, rude comments about President Biden and our V.P.

I can not mention "give us your tired, your hungry, your poor." One comment I questioned if there are no Christian churches in Texas.Then I tried Christian houses of worship. Yahoo tells me they hold comments for approval; do not take it personally.

Well damn it, I do take it personally. They can say any nasty ole thing they want about Biden, and others who comment, yet I am not allowed to say most anything. I felt like posting a cuss laden post, starting with Duck You Yahoo. It is too sad, that the ugliest comments were getting 131+ likes. 

The clairvoyant effectively indoctrinated masses of citizens. So much false info, misspelled words, slurs, personal attacks. 

I was enjoying doing a jigsaw puzzle when an overwhelming urge to smoke came upon me. I guess back before COVID when smoking was a daily habit, when I got stuck doing puzzles, I would go outside and have a smoke. Years earlier, when I lived in places where I could smoke indoors, I would light up, to help me think while writing. 

I read a how to quit smoking book and it claims that a cigarette does not actually help us to think better. Nor does it calm us down. I do not know. I think breathing in and out while smoking is as relaxing as meditative breathing. 

"We are a Christian nation," barf. Maybe no MAWAs are Christians, but GOP sure favors them over secular citizens. 

Serving Two Masters

 Surprisingly I do not recall the day I simply stopped going to church. I studied some world religions. I never found one to satisfy me. Then I did what Jesus said, threw away my Bibles. "You can not serve two masters, love the one and hate the other." I liked the illusion of electing government officials.

I did not actually serve the one and hate the other.  It was freeing, no longer trying to come to terms with a Santa, pagan traditions Xmas and a birth of Jesus one. I chose the American Holiday. Even "serving" that did not thrill me. Materialism.

Children with poor parents did not get treated with equality by Santa. Their wealthy classmate got the Flexible Flyer and they got new mittens and knit cap. It teaches kids greed. It does not actually teach them to be good for goodness sake, anymore that the Bible gets adults to be good.

It teaches them they will get a momentary reward for being good, not a lesson that being kinds, is, well good.

I read long ago about Jesus maybe not being white. Makes sense to me unless the holy spirit was an ET with white skin. St. Nicholas was not white either. Some posted on the article that as children they asked why Jesus looked white and not Arab. I was clueless as to world geography in relation to Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Red Sea=Moses parted it.

I wonder if that is like now, Mississippi river drying up, river bed dry, so peeps an walk to an island, that used to have to boat to. Maybe there was a severe drought, the sea dried up and parted and legend had it that Moses did it in one day. 

Early Q anon conspiracy theory? What was I saying here? 

My big turn off was this: why send me to hell for eternity because I smoked? No longer being Catholic, I could not confess other sins to be a priest, do penance, and be forgiven, still getting my shot at heaven.

What kind of cruel God is that? Eternity? Let the punishment fit the crime. Maybe Hitler deserves a long time in hell, DJT, also, but Bill Clinton maybe not so much? I think we have our own hell on earth. No need for an eternity burning up in hellfire. Jesus' skin color irrelevant. If he actually existed at all.

Trying not to reply

 Trying not to reply to Yahoo comments. Was doing better, then Facebook took Farm Town down again, and nothing to do, all day to do it. I suppose I could do some housework or continuing cleaning out my FB history. OY, I cleaned out my Blogger blogs, only to come back again. And again. 

So, anyway, I went away from the black/white Jesus article. Showered, cooked squash, ate squash while looking for the comment I wanted to share. Took me back in time.

My Story

I wondered why I was attracted to long shaggy dark haired hippie guys with mustaches and beards.  They did not look like my father, older brothers, or even uncles. Aha moment.

I used to stare at the mural painted on ceiling, wall over the altar every Sunday. Every holy day of Obligation, Every 7 day Novena. Well, not that would have been walking around the church stopping at stained glass windows to pray the rosary. Every Catholic funeral.

I loved Jesus! I wanted to marry him, ie: become a nun when I grew up. 

That idea went out the window when I started reading the Bible, finding descriptions from what I was taught and what the catechism the nuns tested us on, & priests taught.

When a sister and later brother asked me to be Godmother for their new baby girl and baby boy, I wanted to say no. I was still going to church, but I no longer believed. I felt a hypocrite, because I was too timid to say no. 

I did, however, know that should the sis die, I would be sure the daughter was raised Catholic. The brother's wife did not want me, but he insisted. Those babies long grown up and I no longer give them birthday/Christmas $$$ gifts as my godparents had given me.

How Jesus Became A White Man

The Long History of How Jesus Came To Resemble a White European

My post title a bit different that the article. Their title and article a bit too long. I did not finish reading. No images. I would follow links that did not take me to images, just the artists' names, so lost interest.

Comments on article, predictable. Why do people bother? Non-Christians will not be convinced Jesus existed; Christians long "you will go to hell" comments. Middle Eastern people were dark skinned: not they were not, they were WHITE. Mary was born in Palestine. No the was not.

I had to keep stopping to fact check. I learned Mary was born in Herodian Kingdom of Judea. Um, where was that? Oh, could be Israel, Jordan, Jerusalem, Palestine. Turkey? I wonder. Countries along the Red Sea? 

Mary was 13. Was not. Where does it say that. The Bible. (No, her age is not mentioned in the Bible.) Raped. Pediophile. Life expectancy was 49; common for girls to marry at 12. 

One bright fella wished we could find the body of Jesus, run DNA test to see who his real father was. That guy believed the Biblical account, yet did not know that Jesus' grave was empty, his body rose up into heaven?

Why are we talking about this. Everyone knows he doesn’t exist. You travel to all the kids houses in one night. Oh shoot that’s the other guy this one had endless bread and turned water into wine. I get made up figures confused. Which one does the hidden eggs?

Super Moron

 Too bad I do not do Twitter. Someone posted in comments on article about the new digital trading cards said twitter is full of memes calling #45 Supermoron. 

He touts his cards as depicting his life and career. He was an astronaut when? In his boyhood fantasies perhaps? He does golf. I guess the golf card is showing a much younger, slimmer version of his self. Superhero? Super Fool. Super Liar. Super Crazy. 

He has long wanted his head on Mt. Rushmore. Lady Liberty cried the day he was elected. Why hold the torch? He does not agree with sentiment "give me your tired, your hungry, your poor." The opposite, he wants to lock people out, locking us inside the man made boundaries long dead peeps named The United States of America.

Super megalomaniac. Better than Washington and Lincoln. Maybe he was a cowboy in a movie? Do not consider him a Hollywood star, minor guest roles. HIs TV show was filmed in NYC. He sure treated his presidency as a joke; CEO of the U.S. of A. 

Violated ethic laws by using office for personal gain of self, family and close associates. Jared got a 2 billion investment in his new company, courtesy of Saudi Arabia. Trump Org got lucrative deal in Saudi Arabia. So much for America First. Supermoron. Except in his ability to con people.

Super Moron

Some one posted a meme showing 45 ticking off with fingers: 

person, woman, man, camera, TV 

“I said to the doctor, it was Dr. Ronny Jackson. I said, ‘Is there some kind of a test, an acuity test?’ “And he said, ‘There actually is,’ and he named it, whatever it might be.”

“‘OK, that’s very good. If you get it in order you get extra points,’

“They said nobody gets it in order, It’s actually not that easy, but for me, it was easy. And that’s not an easy question.

The cognitive test is used to determine dementia. He can recall 5 words, but not the name of the test? He has the habit of repeating himself. I tried to listen to the entire FOX video, but gave up. 

He said the doc said they would have to release the results and he was fine with that. He had a perfect score. He even could identify an elephant.

---

One of the words he kept repeating was "sharp." Now I get why Tom announced him "sharp." LOL Learn something new everyday.

Super Moron

Article comment: 

Tom: You may not agree with him and he may be a complete jerk but he was actually pretty sharp. Biden can only read a teleprompter.

My replies

not sharp enuff to pronounce anonymous

*Tweeted he was en route “to address the Farm Convention today in Nashville, Tennessee.” The convention was in New Orleans, LA

*makes up words and countries (Premedication, covfefe, Nambia)

*"statics, some sa-tiks-tics coming out on.." (quite sharp)

*"YO-se-min-NIGHT."YO-se-MIGHT.."

*"We have some bad hombres here and we're going to get them out."

Asked simple question he rambles on about his very smart uncle, he told him nuclear was powerful, "who would have thought that" ~ he was 35 when this uncle taught him that? Most people know about Hiroshima, long before adulthood.

---

After his 90 second long run on sentence, the host had to ask him a 2nd time, because he did not answer the question.

---

“My uncle used to tell me about nuclear before nuclear was nuclear" and "He would tell me, ‘There are things that are happening that could be potentially so bad for the world in terms of weaponry."

---

Maybe he should have studied some U.S. history, learned about MAD and the Cold War before running for the highest office in the land.

---

I wonder how sharp those who voted for him were?

Asked what he would say to reassure citizens who are concerned about COVID, he said "I would say you are a very bad reporter."

---

Gee that was very reassuring. A sharper person might say something like, "It will disappear, like a miracle, gone by April." or "Just drink some bleach."
