Great news.

It's about time, in my opinion. [theweek.com]

DenoPenno comments on Sep 25, 2019:

It's past time. We know that McConnell will not be for impeachment so the Senate will not go for it, but it is time we showed them all that we are a nation with a rule of law. Trumpers need to know this as well.

What we know and do not know about Greta Thunberg?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 25, 2019:

IDK but if McConnell remains leader in the Senate impeachment will never happen. My take on this whole thing is that they are finally going after Trump because he withheld money from a foreign government and even asked the leader of that government to help him go after his opponent, Joe Biden. This is highly illegal and grounds to be removed as POTUS if phone transcripts prove it true. Knowing that McConnell will not go along with this all I can say is that the move must be needed to set Trump up for something else. Paul Ryan must have known that being the Koch brothers stooge would not be a good deal but Trump's ego made him fall right in there.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 25, 2019:

If the crisis is "imaginary" then why is everyone concerned about it? This is the first question to ask. Research will show that a majority of those claiming it is imaginary have climbed onto the bandwagon of the Koch brothers, et al. Some of them are in government and some not, but most have received money for their viewpoint. The goal is to be able to rape the earth in any way possible for profit with no concern for people, their futures, healthcare, food, well being and so forth. In the end they want no regulations on anything and will take America back to 1900 if possible, and all in the name of profits. This is what's going on right now. Trump is only the tumor of the cancer. He is part of the cancer but not the cancer itself.

Nobody listens to me on social media and if I stir up the Trumpers they ignore my facts and do not agree at all. They call me names and insult me. They post that they want to insult people. Some things cannot be ignored.

Religious jewelry

DenoPenno comments on Sep 24, 2019:

Keep it so you can remember and if anyone asks why you are wearing it make it plain as to where it came from. That should do it. As for the cross, it irks me to see people wearing them because they assume Jesus would be OK with a cross. How would that be? I'm waiting for a nice chain necklace with an electric chair on it. Then I could tell those that confronted me for wearing it that I am more modern than they are. I have a work colleague who hears this and suddenly claims he never makes fun of anyone's religion.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 22, 2019:

It's all done by distraction and diversion. Tell a Trumper that and they don't know what you are talking about. They also do not know what a wedge issue is. In this world of oligarchy vs. democracy the ones in power have to provoke your anger so you will willingly give up your money. Recently one of them told me that "Hillary lost." This wasn't even what the conversation was about. Trumpers also have a hard time understanding why records are sealed. Is this the height of ignorance? I can't even get my own dead sister's birth certificate. Maybe they will let me take a look at the one for George W. Bush. As a private citizen I have no right to see who's name is on a contract or how much Charlie made on his book deal. Trumpers want their man to keep going after Hillary and Obama, and if they get locked up Trump is doing a great job. Damn, what ignorance!

No, I'm not making this up.

Was jesus entirely made up

DenoPenno comments on Sep 22, 2019:

The myths and legends may have involved more than one Jesus. His sayings are contradictory and he could have been a composite personality. The gospels have him doing everything possible to fulfill some prophesy because they wanted a Messiah. The strangest thing is people who still believe the gospels are written by eye witness and you can get a bible with the words of Jesus in red.

Just for fun [youtu.be] Jesus DON'T take the wheel

DenoPenno comments on Sep 22, 2019:

Truth in that song. It reminds me when I totaled out a work truck and came out of it without a scratch. To explain the accident I hit a slick spot and the truck went for a little spin. It all happened so quickly and was on a major highway. Many people kept saying how god had protected me and they tried so hard to have me start making things up. They were simply amazing, but I had a seat belt on. It is what it is.

How can one sin if they genuinely believe in the afterlife

DenoPenno comments on Sep 22, 2019:

You sin because you are coming short of the glory of god and they keep pushing all this to protect their precious doctrine of free will. It is sooo very important that you serve god all on your own and it be your decision only. You have to have "free will." You can also never measure up to the glory and righteousness of this magnificent waring beast whose sacred name most people cannot say. They might scare you with hell but the fact that they do is not proof of non-belief if you sin. Their holy book says we all "sin and come short of the glory of god." To believe is to be caught in a trap. They also know that sin can be forgiven, so when you are caught in adultery it is OK. At least it is an all natural sin and not like tobacco or anything. I used to live in this world and I got a lot of the above from active believers. Today I'm not sure I could even sit through a service.

this "new" christianity is rather offensive

DenoPenno comments on Sep 22, 2019:

I agree. This is a result of wanting to remain on top while oligarchy vs. democracy progresses. This new Christianity is modeled after "The Family" in DC circles. They run on the idea that Jesus was sent for and to the ones in power. They are "the chosen." It's the same old story or pie in the sky by and by but they say you can have it right now. Just give us your money.

What is your main method of research that leads you to change beliefs on a topic?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 22, 2019:

I use all those methods and also check the source of blogs and sites on the Net that have come up recently with opposite opinions. Maybe the site itself is new or took on new ideas to support Donald Dump. That does not make it accurate. Fact check everything that you can. If you cannot do that and follow a link it might be wrong. Media does not become "fake" just because Donald said so. Currently his supporters are using false pictures and false ideas to claim the Dems are lying about him. There is even some ridiculous idea that Trump and his GOP have a plan that would eliminate being on the street and homeless but the mean old Dems will not let it go through Congress. Just imagine. If that crap was true every Republican would be on talk shows with it and it would be all over Fox News. Being a "non-fact" does not stop Trumpers from believing it and posting about it.

Why I Am Not a Christian by Bertrand Russell - YouTube

Most in my area who cannot understand why I am for diversity and the betterment of all have not even left the US in their lifetime.

Who knew that our real problem was that family in front of you in the grocery line?

As for being in heaven with loved ones and reunited, this used to be preached as a big heavenly reunion. It all makes you think that deep down they do not believe this at all. It's just a big club that they belong to and not anything that is real.
