I had an interesting conversation with a believer last evening.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 30, 2019:

In Genesis god says "let us make man in our image." To most Christians he is talking to a pre-birth Jesus as a heavenly creature, or talking to Michael the Archangel. To the Jehovah Witnesses Jesus was Michael the Archangel before he became the earthly Jesus. In case you are a trinity believer the "Holly Geist" did not say much ever. He might have been brooding over the waters or something. The most confusing thing in all Christianity is the concept of a trinity with 3 beings all in one.

I find it strange how much believers push the idea that their god loves people.

In my church days I heard 2 common excuses for things that are unpleasant in the bible. 1. That was in the old Testament. 2. Jesus came and changed all of that. It's what they want to believe and nowhere do you find this in the bible. Nowhere at all. If you look for it you will even find Jesus contradicting himself.

They continue to provide cheaper and effective healthcare for women in many ways for those who otherwise could not afford it.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 30, 2019:

I cannot wait until Trump enters the lake of fire. On the serious side, not many have noticed that the "messiah" is to be an earthly king with an earthly bloodline. This is provided and manipulated for Jesus just so he can be "the one" and then believers had to do something drastic once he was killed. He needed no earthly bloodline once the sky daddy impregnated Mary. A common story of a king who never came is then changed forever and we have this mess called Christianity that we have today.

WHAT IS THE NATURE OF REALITY?

DenoPenno comments on Aug 30, 2019:

I followed you in every way until you asked at the end if we had a soul. That would appear as if you are putting some religious idea into your reasoning. I still say that talk of a "soul" originated and persisted because mankind cannot correctly interpret their own dreams. In the dream you have flown off to another land and it was so real, but you were home again when you woke up. Maybe your "soul" did the traveling. This is all wrong thinking. In reality you went nowhere.

Poor Facebook is showing me info on people from all over the world that it thinks I might know. This is because FB has determined that some in other lands do know me, and one black lady even called me a relative. I'm sure that they do harvest certain opinions and mindsets from my posts that help in political opinions in some group think.

You may call yourself agnostic but a lot of them are in churches. They have doubts. I have no doubts but I do not know everything. I cannot answer the god question and neither can you.

I have relatives who are all for him and they simply cannot see that his China tariffs alone will cause dollar stores, auto parts, and other areas to charge more and it is **Americans** **paying the difference**. Trump tariffs might as well be called the "Trump tax." In other words, what this man is really fighting for is to make goods cost you more money. People just do not get it, and they dislike me for bringing it out. They tell me this is Trump's way of forcing business to leave overseas and come back to America. How would that happen? Goods cannot be made cheaply here any longer. The ones that hold to this ignorant belief even think that the Orange Turd has the power to demand and order American business to leave foreign lands. Dictator Donnie is a liar and a conman. He always has been.

This is because my treatment is only related to the blood readings. My previous doctor told me I had a heart problem and he pulled that information out of his ass. I told my doctor this but she would not believe it until she tested my heart and determined that I have no heart problems. Modern medicine in America is flat out awful.

WHO OR WHAT IS ‘GOD’?

DenoPenno comments on Aug 26, 2019:

Keep in mind that religious apologists usually work from the perceived ideas of their particular holy book. It is this book first of all that has set in mind ideas of a deity. Remember that the book itself was not complete or considered as complete until almost 300 years after Jesus. This was done by council and decree with many books being left out or said to be false. It is only at this time that we have the "infallible" word of god but the many books together as one are also a main source of contradiction. Within this written frame is all knowledge as we know it about Jehovah the tribal god. In some passages his name is Jealous. Oh, what a giant mess we have here after 300 years in the making. Knowing the above helps me understand that knowledge of gods is all bullshit. Then the next guy comes along and says "well, there could be a god anyway." A god of what? Do you know anyone who was raised from the dead or flew to heaven on a winged horse? How about talking snakes. Did you ever meet a talking snake?

The Sunset of Neoliberalism

DenoPenno comments on Aug 25, 2019:

My take on the support of Israel was always that America is paying homage to some nation that Christianity came out of. Not that the Jews believed that but many Americans did (and do) and the religious think that when Jesus returns the Jews will recognize him this time. That speaks volumes for supporting Israel. Prior to 1948 that area was simply called Palestine and what it seems to all be about today is occupation, often by force. Many in religious circles of Evangelical religion claim Palestinians will get a nation if they "are good boys" and act properly. Where will this land come from and who is going to give it up? It will never happen. There is no land to give and there is trouble sharing that that they have. The current silence on Zionism is because many see there are 2 ways in which we could go and we would want to keep this as humane as possible. The election of 2 Congresswomen who favor Palestine speaks for itself.

What I always wanted to know was did Job get his original wife and children back at the end or are they different persons? If the originals, were they resurrected, and if so did they have to die again later? If they are truly resurrected why is Jesus called "the first fruits of the dead?" A look at the OT seems to show 9 people or so that were resurrected and the Evangelicals avoid these questions. If you admit that Job is only a story all of this can be avoided.

Do you say the pledge of allegiance, when called to do so in a public setting?

I stand and might sometimes (but not always) place my right hand on my heart area. I say no words at all and do not think this is a necessary thing to do. We did it in my school years and also when I was in the Army. Today I am beyond both of those. It does not mean I am a Communist to not say the pledge. A buddy took me to the Senior Center here locally once and they say the pledge and also pray over their food. Most likely I will not be going back. It is my opinion that these people all think Trump would want you to do the pledge and to pray, and at the Senior Center you hear a lot of talk about "fake news." They have all drank to koolaid.

I am more powerful than God! Can your God pass the Sandwich test?

You could pray to Joe Pesci or to a milk jug.

Is it true?

David Koch has died at 79. He and his brother have fueled much of what is going on today in politics after being Libertarian for many years. They bought into the present GOP and promoted what we are experiencing now with Trump in power. However, Trump and his GOP are going in directions that some Koch followers were not supporting and it is as if another movement itself has been born. Let us hope that Trump and his Swamp go the same way as David Koch and the sooner the better.

Trumps tarriiffs against China don't seem to be getting the results he wanted.

He will have to blame the American people because he cannot blame himself. Anything Trump touches has to be all about him because it cannot be about anything else. For those who do not do research, Donald Trump even made his father's funeral all about himself. Now that he has "ordered" American business out of China the door for blame is open if we have a recession. We did it. Trump has no experience in these matters. Watching it go down is like seeing a mental retard at 5 years old playing with building blocks. No offense to the handicapped intended.

Democrats and the Left are weaker than puppy piss.

It is because of Trump that we have confusion, distraction, and more than half of America confusing apples and bananas. Am I scared? You damned right I am scared. It doesn't mean I'm going to arm myself because of our many psychos out there. I do not want to be like them. I favor the Democrats but see them taking up wrong issues. Arguing gun control is not going to get it and taking away America's guns is a claim that will end your presidential run. Background checks and gun control are a good step. Anyone remember that Trump was instrumental in removing some of this in his bid to counter anything Obama? Then he claims he is working to correct issues that he himself had created. This is the way of Donald Trump. His demented ego is a big problem and it makes Donald Trump the real national emergency.

The only kind of atheist I am against is one without any knowledge. When I chose not to believe in gods because of a lack of evidence for their existence it was because I had training in Christianity and decided that I had been deceived. A polite way of saying this is that I stopped believing in Santa Claus.
