What Is Everyone Reading?

DenoPenno comments on Nov 24, 2018:

I'm in the middle of "Fear" by Bob Woodward right now, and if I get bored with it I switch to a couple of atheist books. Listening to Michael Shermer at the moment with "Why We Believe What We Believe."

What is your moral compass?

DenoPenno comments on Nov 24, 2018:

To me this is always a dumb question. A moral compass. (Does it point North?) I simply poke everyone else in the eye because I know they want to be poked in the eye. No, that's the Three Stooges way. In reality I talk to children, animals, and people of any culture and ethnic group and get along very well with them. It doesn't bother me if their language is different. They may speak it if they like and speak it freely. Orange haired gods (or any other kind) do not affect me.

DenoPenno comments on Nov 24, 2018:

Let me see if I got this. We have a man here who determines that his god exists because he read it in his book that claims his god exists. The book even said that everybody knew this. OK, it is a settled question then. WRONG!

Do You Feel Like an Outsider?

DenoPenno comments on Nov 24, 2018:

I can identify with your words because I have always felt like an outsider. I agree with what you are writing here and the big diff that I see is I know you have more energy than I do. Otherwise I tend to think like you do on many things.

DenoPenno comments on Nov 23, 2018:

It seems that way because no drug lord at the top is ever caught and convicted. People might mention El Chapo but I feel that he was given to the Feds for something. The drug business is a combined effort both legal and illegal. When people get caught it is because they are the little fish, or they didn't rub someone the right way.

Who is God

DenoPenno comments on Nov 23, 2018:

Many of s who have finally woken up have asked that question all of our lives and never found a reasonable answer. That's why we have ended up here. It's amazing that the classical gods are not real but Christians think their god is.

Men's hair greater than mine!

DenoPenno comments on Nov 23, 2018:

As a guy I grew long hair twice in my life. It was the envy of certain girls but I think I looked like Ivanhoe. My hair never got longer than shoulder length. Now I keep it cut very short. Today after years of bodybuilding I even have bigger boobs than most girls. A certain amount of that comes with age anyway.

John Allen Chau, Preacher killed by Natives, Appalling Atheist Reactions - YouTube

DenoPenno comments on Nov 23, 2018:

I see what you are talking about, David. When I was a believer my mind could imagine a single preacher, a superman of the Christian faith, as parachuting into Iran and coming out easily with 300 or more converts because of the Holy Spirit. These things are a part of Christian ego and a great example of wrong thinking. Perhaps Mr. Chau thought this way too. Now he is dead and has exposed an entire tribe to modern diseases they knew nothing of. The culprit here is none other than religion. Somehow John Allen Chau thought he could do this to the betterment of everyone involved because he "had the right religion." There is no right religion.

There's an old song that has words in it that say "in heaven there is no beer and that's why we drink it here." (Beer Barrel Poka?) IDK. I know people who actually cite this as a "truth" about heaven. What they forget is that in some parts of the world the religious have no problems with drinking beer. Nobody thought about that. Then we have that "streets of gold" thing. Obviously not true.

DenoPenno comments on Nov 20, 2018:

The ACA was a big foot in the door but it needs lots of "fine tuning" to actually be helping all of the American people. Part of this will be to get Big Pharma out of the picture so some real good can be done.

Hello everyone! A little something from the ranting room.

DenoPenno comments on Nov 20, 2018:

It happened to me in the UK at Heathrow. I was on my way to Kenya and some scheduling thing happened and I missed my flight. The airlines said it was their fault and put me in a lounge with free beer and food. I stayed there until a flight came up that had one stop in Egypt before going on in to Nairobi. A slight delay but the trip went fine. Once I was back in my small town area later I told this story and someone said "oh, he's crazy because Egypt isn't even in Africa." You have to remember that in my area of Missouri some people have not even traveled as far as Arkansas. I know people who have never been to Kansas City.

I'm throwing away and burning plastic bags all the time. Recently I saw a roach and I knew he had come out of one of those bags. He looked lonely and even sickly, so I nourished him back to health before I killed him.

DenoPenno comments on Nov 20, 2018:

We need to use these same tactics in our country. I think the public has a right to know and if the info is false we need to call them on their bullshit. The unfortunate thing is this is exactly what Acosta was doing when Trump refused to answer and had him barred from the White House.

Ahhh.

DenoPenno comments on Nov 20, 2018:

I have no problems believing it. I've read that the USA bankers do not loan Trump any money these days. Then we have the Deutsche Bank loan of large amounts and later Trump's sons said they did not need money because they got "all they wanted from Russia." When you have a man "selling his brand" (which is his name) you assume there are certain areas of the world that he cannot afford to piss off.

Do you think abortion laws will be givenback to each state?

DenoPenno comments on Nov 20, 2018:

It is amazing how many people in this world claim abortion is something used as birth control when a pill is so much cheaper, non intrusive, and not so messy. Rather than take a pill "these women" (whoever they are) would rather wait and abort a child, they say. Then we have pharmacists who will not dispense birth control pills or a morning after pill. I'm sorry. Get another job you moron!

DenoPenno comments on Nov 18, 2018:

I see a lot of this. I really do. A problem I see today is the drive to report the news without any connections that would help analyze the news. If Bobby has a new hat, for example, that says very little as a stand alone news item. News today seems second in nature to the revenue generated sales items. There is also too much of a tie in to corporate America, usually in ways to help us see them as the good guys when that is not always the case. As far as "Christian America" that has always been an ugly head that they have tried to tie in with all the rest. It just doesn't fly. Gods had nothing to do with it. Today everything is being put in place to "steal our country" right into the mindframe that so many have pushed for all along. We might be fascist white supremacists but you have your Communist free government and your god, so shut up and make money for us.

That was in 2014 and I saved what I did not use. Recently having a need to use it again I discovered that the first time I used it wrong. How did that happen? You learn something every day.

I hear the Trumpers every day and cannot imagine living inside their heads. How do they add 2 plus 2? We live in a digital age and they believe that voter fraud is actually accomplished by bringing an illegal alien across our borders to vote. One recently told me she works at the polls and voter fraud is a "fine line" and so many ID's are fake. This is why we need a voter ID, she said. I wonder if your voter ID could be fake too, or if it might have Donald's name on it.

The Kansas based former Libertarians who have now bought into the GOP and are in control of our government. Along with the Mercers, DeVos, and others they do not give a damn about you, your healthcare, your food or your water. Russian and German influence is in their past and a good book about them is called "Dark Money." Paul Ryan was going to be the prez but that job went to Donald Trump. Missouri disgraced governor Greitens was one of theirs and so is current Senator Josh Hawley. They are putting their people in place and some of these are out of (or in support with) The New Apostolic Reformation.
