What is LOVE?

DenoPenno comments on Oct 19, 2018:

Love is a decision. I might have the hots for you and cannot keep my hands off you, but this will not last and will not hold up in the long term.

Do you believe that racism and hatred is taught in childhood?

DenoPenno comments on Oct 19, 2018:

Racism and hatred are both taught in childhood very much the same way religion is taught. It is a learned behavior. I can detect it very quickly. A neighbor of mine said just this week about black people "look at all the millions we have spent trying to educate them." OK, who are "we" and how did it happen that "we" have spent millions? Whoever "they" are apparently they have nothing to do with their own education? The big problem here is that this white man fails to recognize that most black people are more educated than he is. Maybe he sees it and does not want to see it. His views were started by his parents early on and later by the people he found as his companions.

POLITICO race ratings: Democrats breach GOP statehouse walls ​ [politico.com]​

DenoPenno comments on Oct 19, 2018:

Very good. Let's see some Democrat wins and get back to governing again. As politics are nationally today we are simply running in a one party 3 legged sack race and stumbling all over in doing so.

What type of area do you live in? Why?

DenoPenno comments on Oct 19, 2018:

I'm in a suburb that might as well be rural. My town has about 1200 people the sign says, and there is another town 6 miles away with more people, maybe 3,500. I work in a town of less than 4000 people which is about 12 miles away from me. If anyone gets ideas of shopping "in the big city" then St. Louis is just an hour away and right up I-44 from us.

Do only humans have a soul? What is a soul? Would you ever trade yours for anything?

Hope Trump isn’t getting too many ideas from this

DenoPenno comments on Oct 19, 2018:

Very accurate. I find it disturbing at this point that so many are trying to get into other ideas of what might have happened to Khashoogi. We cannot believe the truth even when told the truth.

Jobs Are No Excuse for Arming a Murderous Regime [commondreams.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 19, 2018:

Yes, jobs are no excuse and so many Americans think we have to walk softly here or we could mess up a mega buck weapons sale deal. OK, explain to me how armament sales are creating other jobs in your area. Chances are that is not happening. Now I will give you another fact. The stock market is not the economy. We are being mislead a lot here people.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 17, 2018:

It makes me worry about the same thing. Keep in mind that the GOP used "Cross Check" last time to make sure that Smith and Jones did not vote in more than one state to prevent fraud. The machine was not used on GOP voters so figure that one out. I'm told they might try to use it again.

People need to wake up dammit! Republucans blame the soaring deficit, like they always do, to what ...

DenoPenno comments on Oct 17, 2018:

The soaring deficit is blamed on "entitlements" like social security and Medicare, etc. How did this happen? That money is collected from a tax set aside just for the purpose of its namesake. The money for this is not mixed with other government money for spending. Either this is a Republican lie or the GOP has been mixing the money to fund things all along. It's sort of like mixing your egg money with your milk money.

Believe me when I say.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 17, 2018:

I'm also in Atheist Nexus but you find the same definitions of agnostic/atheist there as you do here. Do I have evidence that there are no gods? Of course not. That old argument goes back and forth both ways. There is no evidence for or against. I'm not upset if you call me agnostic. I'm not upset if you call me atheist. Even Richard Dawkins puts himself on a scale of 1 to 10 in god belief and I would call the man an atheist. If you make the claim 100% that there are no gods you have just put yourself in the default position of producing the evidence. I'm sorry, but you will not be able to do that. Nobody on either side has even been able to do that.

A complaint I have since adopting an agnostic position is that too much of the atheist/agnostic ...

DenoPenno comments on Oct 17, 2018:

I remain anti-religious simply because my non-belief sprang out of once having believed. I find too many people claiming to be atheist just so they can get away from religious association without feeling the pressure of religion. I'm not talking about those people who have never believed. I'm talking about those who deny existence of gods, then go ahead to believe any other supernatural thing that ever came along. It makes me ask how they would even know what they believe. Such people are like those who believe in all diseases - except one. I often look at them as having a copout position. I'm not going about daily thinking that there is no god, but I do use my new knowledge to fish out how others think. I can be around people just a short time and know if they are theists and to what degree, and I can also detect quickly how racist they are. This goes on into politics and other indoctrinations. The positive thing to me about being agnostic/atheist is that I believe I have these abilities simply because I no longer believe in gods and I can look at things critically. I would have it no other way.

I'll skip the sequel.

The spineless coward Cruz continues to lead polls in TX now by 7 points.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 17, 2018:

I certainly agree. Texas is too damn red and they claim to be "Christian" regardless of the idiocies they support. Pegging Beto as a "socialist" is something done with 1950 think, and easily done because of Bernie. Now the GOP wants to claim that the push for healthcare is socialism. It isn't true. Ignorant people want to role over and give up everything. Nobody investigates anymore.

It won't make any of it so. None of it at all will be so. Then we have problems on what to do with that Torres boy in school. Do they just erase his record?

I would let him join the Boy Scouts if he is so set in this because you cannot raise him in a closet. He will always remember this if you do not allow him to join. I'm sure that every day life exposes him to religion in many ways. I would investigate the local Scouts a bit however. If they are meeting in church or having any activity within a church the answer would be "no." The Scouts teach many things but I would not allow them to be an indoctrination tool.

People are constantly surprised about how petty and passive aggressive I can be lol.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 15, 2018:

I do understand where you are coming from. Your "7 minute rule" person might end up getting unfair things put on you and others. I once worked in a factory where a couple came in 15 minutes late all the time. They might explain by saying there was a train or something. This resulted in the company docking you 15 minutes of time if you were late late at all and it got progressive after 5 minutes. If I might offer as bit of advice here, do not throw the printed out consults at your co-worker. Simply give them to her or show her where they are in the computer. Would she look if you told her where to look? I have problems with idiot people too.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 15, 2018:

I am old enough to know they are imaginary and I hold the fact that I was told they were real against my parents and everyone else that was so afraid and thought they had to have them. I fell for it all hook, line, and sinker. After much study and agony over not becoming a beloved preacher, I finally found the truth in later life. Gods are imaginary. It's very simple. The funny thing is many people look at my age and think I have this all backwards. Walter Brennan was said to be checking into ideas of god late in life. He told people he was not getting any younger. W. C. Fields was once found reading the bible and told others he was "checking it out for loopholes." Yes, you might die soon so you need a safety net. I don't get it. Believing something doesn't make it so. I do know that theists wanted their ideas brought into TV and movies from early on. Maybe we could re-do and old classic and be more accurate. How about "The Sign of the Stake?" Maybe the sign isn't dramatic enough for the religious world. Later on in 1960's TV we could have shows like "Johnny Soko and his Giant Flying Jesus." Johnny would often be on his back and fly with him. Together they would solve world problems and catch the bad guys. Yes, I know, but it is satire.

They only want the money and do not want to have to pay EPA fees or anything else. They care none at all for you and want every dime they can get from you. This insanity is not Trump alone. He is simply the actor playing out the part so they can all divide the spoils. It's the Kock brothers reborn and along the way you find Mercers, DeVos, and others.

Outside Time and Space?

DenoPenno comments on Oct 15, 2018:

When theists got smart enough to say their god exists outside of time and space what they were really saying is** "now I have fixed it to where you cannot threaten or bother my god in any way."** I can almost see a smirk or a smile but it doesn't really arrive. God can send you to hell but you can't do anything to him coz he's outside of time and space. In fact, he can pop in and out of time and space anytime he wants to and leave no evidence and you don't even know he was here. This is how powerful my god is. Yeah, buddy! My mind tells me this means their god does not exist. Anything outside of time and space does not exist and there would be no way of finding it, detecting it, or proving it. This is not even close to saying god is "like a radio wave" or sunshine or anything else that we know about. The reason is that everything we know about exists in time and space. Yes, even that invisible radio wave.

Tonight my brother said "religion answers all the questions that science can not.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 14, 2018:

I agree fully that religion answers all the questions that science cannot. The problem is that it's the same old answers and we have a lot of new questions. Science is ever changing. God and the bible are supposedly never changing. You can get the same answers out of god and the bible that you get out of a milk jug or an 8 ball. Yes, no, maybe, wait and see pretty much covers it. The bible has enough out right fallacies to prove that it comes from man and not a god. Now let's get into your desire to know and have all the answers. Do you believe there is anyone who has all the answers? It's impossible. No one knows everything or has all the answers. Presto! Along came god and he knows, but just because god knows it doesn't mean that YOU know. By picking god you have decided to go along with and believe a book that reportedly tells a story. It was put together that way some 300 years after Jesus and the individual books within it all told a different story. None of it was written by eyewitnesses. It's just a book like Harry Potter is a book. God doesn't know who Elon Musk is either.

Since America gained its present POTUS it seems that all kinds of abuse is OK. Well, not really OK but POTUS does lots of abuse to people daily and has us all trying to define "abuse" all over again. This happens because things that occur are no longer about you. It's all about him. Dump Trump.

This is why women end up with jerks.

Duke, this is hilarious and my only exception with it would be to use it equally for male or female. A lot of real life is like this and it works both ways. There are even movies about it, but I like the way you have worded it along lines of the job resume.

I find this particularly disturbing and it could be linked to the "white savior" complex. Keep in mind that whites were just recently trying to justify slavery again by saying that it put blacks in touch with the "one true god." How ignorant. As a younger man my background was full of the N word. I fell in with this and used it myself for a time. Much later in life I married a woman from Kenya. We do and should change as we age. I see Mr. Lewis' story here very well and not in the light of the whites involved. This also includes the cop. I'm not sure I can connect this with Kavanaugh either. My connection of what happened with Mr. Lewis and the kids he was babysitting is much deeper. It goes back to POTUS himself. Recall that "both sides" had decent people at Charlottesville. This in spite of Klan rallies and one person killed. Suddenly there is a surge in Klan rallies and some of them are running for office again now. White Nazis come out of the woodwork and declare they would rather kill a person of color as to look at them. Suddenly phone calls are going to the police that black people are doing a cookout in the park, or that black people are at a swimming pool, etc. This and lots more is an indication that the white man thinks he is not in control. With 8 years of Obama the disillusioned white was so afraid he was losing control. Along comes Trump to do away with all things Obama and it's like a dog whistle. THIS is what's going on now in America today. This POTUS who's actions are in violation of his own oath of office is the problem. He will deliberately divide in order to conquer. Many may point out that Trump was just a symptom and this is what we all were anyway. My answer is why be bad when we should strive to be better. Vote blue. Let's correct this mistake.

I hope Cruz is in trouble. After everything Trump said bad about him and his dad, I would have switched parties.

Today's offensive, fiery, provocative, but NOT derogatory to any of the following voter blocs.

I'm with you, brother. I could not stress more that this is a fight for the survival of America as we know it. This is not about political parties. It is about the dishonesty of people in power. We need to level up the playing field of those in power before we will see any honest governing get done. Vote Blue!

America First Bullshit

DenoPenno comments on Oct 13, 2018:

This is exactly what his followers believe and it is what he wants people to believe. I've known a man for 50 years that told me the exact words Trump said at the UN long before Trump said them, and the man believed it too. I told him he was a moron. Trump appears to believe that if he says something 3 times people will believe him. For many this is true except that he is the biggest liar on the planet. America First is all bullshit. Jobs are not and will not come back from overseas and Trump has destroyed everything. He is taking America down the road of his many business ventures. For those with eyes it would appear this is all a deliberate action.

A lifetime of god belief in a world that has god belief is hard to escape from. The best I can say is that it takes time. Remain logical in all things and you can sort it out. What do I mean by logical? OK, how many people do you think raised from the dead? Is there anyone? Do you believe that someone went to heaven on a winged horse? Have you ever seen a winged horse?

Doubt vs gullibilty

I think we all have doubt about many things. Fortunately we do not all have gullibility.
