Honest Liars: Dishonest Leaders May Be Perceived as Authentic - Scientific American

DenoPenno comments on Sep 13, 2018:

Extremely depressing. Does it explain the Orange POS we have in America now? They are going out of their way to quote him about this new hurricane and he even talks of "the great success" we had with recovery after the big one that got Puerto Rico. He's a lying POS and a disgrace to his office.

Intimidation

DenoPenno comments on Sep 13, 2018:

Apparently we think and act pretty much alike. I try to be a no bullshit goofball most of the time.

Recently ran out of Netflix series to watch, so began watching "Salvation.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 13, 2018:

In this case you can see it as salvation from the asteroid. Even so, this doesn't interest me. BTW, when you do get "religious" even in bad ways, I watched a preview of "Veronica" on Netflix and laughed my head off. I'm not watching that either.

Back to farm murders in South Africa ! [dailymaverick.co.za]

DenoPenno comments on Sep 13, 2018:

The Orange Turd needs to realize that American government has to authority or reason to investigate farm murders in South Africa. The suspected bad deeds can be directed to the proper authorities.

It's been almost a year since my ex left me and went back to her ex-husband.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 13, 2018:

My ex and I had become toxic. It was all too much drama and I really believe she thought drama was communication. It's not proper communication. I miss her. I miss her presence almost every day, but I had bit off more than I could chew. Now we each are on our own and it is the only way she will learn more about how to get along in the world. I wish her well.

I want to recommend an important book:VACCINATION IS NOT IMMUNIZATION by Dr.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 13, 2018:

Vaccination is why I no longer see people with polio in this country. Mumps, whooping cough, and others have pretty much vanished also. Yes, that's right. I knew people who had polio as a child and it deformed their bodies. I never met or knew anyone with autism in those days. Not one single person. You are being fooled by those selling books on this misunderstood subject.

Raised Atheist or left a religion?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 13, 2018:

My parents discovered god when I was about 13. Prior to that we were not particularly religious. The next thing you know I'm studying to be a Pentecostal minister. My parents must have "called me to the ministry." Lots of study, guilt, grief, and many years later I discovered that gods are imaginary.

We hear news of thousands of women being raped, but we never hear the news of a man being raped.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 13, 2018:

Men do get raped. Some men violently so and gang raped by women. I think one difference here is that more men think of being a porn star while women feel degraded and will tell you they never asked for this. Outside of the violence involved the bottom line is that you do not (and should not) have control over another person's body. Most rape is an act of control or hate, and not a sexual act.

Greetings one and all.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 13, 2018:

In my mind all religions are equally bogus and flawed. Sometimes people say to me "you haven't tried or followed this other religion." Once you see the flaw in religious belief there is no reason to frantically "try" others. Gods are imaginary.

First impressions can be over-looked?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 13, 2018:

I'm not sure that all of us have "redeeming qualities." I'm not very exciting, for example. I don't lie and I'm consistent to a fault but I am not exciting. Date me and you might find I'm more like an old shoe. I couldn't go for surly and obnoxious. You shouldn't either.

Trump operates on the idea that if he can lie to you 3 times everyone will believe it. He says as much in his book "The Art of the Steal."

Wood Heat?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 12, 2018:

Yes. You have to respect wood heat and wood stoves. They take a bit of know how. Wood heat is a hot heat and my grandparents had it. From time to time my parents did also as I was growing up. About 35 years ago I learned that a wood stove with fans properly placed around in the house would allow you to heat that house with just the one wood stove.

Is there such a thing as "cultural theft"?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 12, 2018:

Cultural theft. Maybe like the great flood before the biblical great flood and the big boat before the Ark. Maybe like "The World's 16 Crucified Saviors" by Kersey Graves. The book is from 1875 but I have a copy. A subtitle is Christianity Before Christ. Yes, there is such a thing as cultural theft.

What if you are wrong and there IS a god

DenoPenno comments on Sep 12, 2018:

You seem obsessed with flames and being thrown into flames. I have to ask which god is it that I am wrong about? It certainly cannot be the biblical god. Too many contradictions in the book. Then people forget that Jesus himself said he had come to save the lost sheep of Israel and later, Saul of Tarsus expanded that idea to include the Gentiles. Oh, it's OK because he is St. Paul. WTF? At a checkout yesterday there was some trouble with the credit card and a man in line said it will all be embedded in your body soon as a chip. That day is coming, he said, and it's coming soon. I left thinking that many people today actually deserved the biblical god. It's a crazy world.

STRANGE DALLAS SHOOTING The Dallas shooting of Botham Jean by officer Amber Guyger has to be ...

DenoPenno comments on Sep 12, 2018:

I saw in news this morning that the hallways are brightly lit and there is no reason to believe that Guyger was not able to see signs marking the floor she was on along with also seeing that the number on the apartment door was not her own. ( I saw the pics) It has also been confirmed that a red doormat was present at Jean's door and that Guyger has no doormat at all. What gives? Attempts of justification of Guyger's actions persist with a changing system of dog whistles and story lines along with her "giving Jean verbal commands" that he failed to follow. They stick with this because the victim is always at fault if they fail to follow a cops "verbal commands."

There's a lot of lying apparently.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 12, 2018:

That's what it looks like. Just imagine the money that is saved nationwide if the government no longer funds women's healthcare. That money can stay with the top 1 percent and we can justify this by making it "all about abortion" which will make the move OK with average American sheep. Looks like they calculated how much they would save in advance and want to un-do progress.

Trump thinks the response to Hurricane Maria was a great success.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 11, 2018:

No one cares and people shrug it off because we are all being dumbed down in order to accept things. Repub disaster relief is the least of this. People do not care that ICE gets all the money because the response of ripping parent and child apart is that they should not be here in the first place. I know a man who says we should just "shoot them at the border." WOW! This is worse than apathy. Billy Bob and Charlie think their "friend" Trump is doing the right thing. Then we have shooting deniers, the Las Vegas shooting, anything Alex Jones, a recent Dallas cop shooting and murder in the wrong apartment. All of this is to further dumb us down so that bad things will be accepted. It's time to Dump Trump. The dumbing down started when the stable genius came in.

These are the ones that support 45. Lately even Fox news has been sharing some anti 45 news.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 11, 2018:

I came home and ate while catching up on "Better Call Saul." Took some pills and took a nap. Back up again to browse, post, and catch up on notifications. Ate again some, and soon going to lay down in the big bedroom with TV and a ceiling fan on where I will go to sleep under covers, dream, wake up repeatedly, then finally turn that damned TV off and the alarm gets me up again at 6 AM for a new day.

This isn't 45 himself, but I still thought it was hilarious! :D [huffingtonpost.com]

DenoPenno comments on Sep 11, 2018:

Oh, boy. Robertson speaking to a hurricane. What can you say about that? He even reminds us that Jesus spoke to a storm and said, "peace, be still." It makes you wonder who controls all these earthly actions that gods have to un-do.

How about we put Pat Robertson out front of the storm and watch Jesus stop the storm...?

I want readers to be aware that I made no reference to race here. In what I read of the incident I found no evidence that Guyger and Jean even knew each other. This made issues of race a non-issue to me.

What do you guys think.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 11, 2018:

I'm sorry for your loss. We only have one mom. First off it is 144,000 destined for heaven. Jehovah and JC in the same sentence and JC as the holy son. Certainly. The Witnesses do not believe in the Holy Goat of the Trinity. Why does it all seem odd or flawed? Maybe because all religion is odd and flawed. You dig further and you find that Jesus was really Michael the Archangel. Mainstream religions hate them for these reasons and the fact that they deny existence of a soul, and they have to have the soul because this is the way people are instantly in heaven or hell regardless of what happens when they did. Religion cannot stand death and is largely a fear of death to start with. Like the song **"where the soul of man never dies**" we have to have eternal life before we even get there. There are a lot of quirks in the Jehovah Witness belief but in the end they are just as quirky as any of the rest of them. Gods and religion are imaginary.

If you had to recommend someone watch 5 TV series, what would you pick?

Wow! I like your list and have watched all of them. Throw in Supergirl and The Flash, Westworld and the Netflix series Ozark. and you have a good peak at my TV habits.

There are no alternative facts here and there is no way to spin it.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 11, 2018:

There has always been talk about someday the Mob would put a man in the White House. Some said it was JFK and that was what got him killed. The only thing was that JFK didn't see things that way. The true Mobster in the White House is Donald Trump without a doubt.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 10, 2018:

I have had many fears and hardships involving this mythical being in the sky and by 2012 I finally realized it was all bullshit. Gods are imaginary. **as far as I've been able to figure, its a combination of wish thinking, tradition, lack of consideration, or fear of death.** Those are your words above and they sum it up nicely. Most believers are going with tradition but everyone has a fear of death. Believers can tell you where we came from, where we are going, and what is going to happen in the future. I reject those claims and I once studied for the ministry.

Just this morning another company announced that regardless of what Trump said this was NOT what they were going to do. People that support this maniac forget that he is not the law, he cannot arrest you, and he does not make rules or laws. All he does is blow, brag, and lie. Many, many lies but he think you will believe him because he said something 3 times or more. What a moron. Will we wake up and realize he is a dangerous moron?

New ‘Poison Papers’ Leak: EPA Knew About Many Dangerous Toxins, But Kept Quiet ...

DenoPenno comments on Sep 10, 2018:

The EPA knew about many dangerous toxins but kept quiet. Are you surprised? The EPA has been "dumbed down" politically and asked to back off. Just this morning on channel 30 news in St. Louis I read that 6,000 gallons of jet fuel were dumped into a river in Indiana. I'm only aware of this by the news ticker that runs at the bottom of my screen. Nobody talked about it. Nobody will talk about it either. That's because the EPA is being "dumbed down." The idea is to dumb us all down. The Kock brothers and some of their friends do not care about you, your water, food, or land and they start bogus political activist groups to prove otherwise and sucker you in. All they want are the profits they make and they do not want to pay to keep our environment and our planet clean. No scruples and no morals here. Just big business getting away with anything they can and trying to convince us all that it is normal. Sorry. Not normal. Dump them, dump Trump, and dump this entire swamp. It is way past time to clean up. Be decent human beings that have responsibility. Vote them out in November and clean house.

**Worded that way it means they are racist.** I'm so worried about the white majority that believes every other person has had more opportunity than they have. This is what fuels the white supremacy and fascism that seems to be in power right now. They forget that we are not show dogs or show horses that have been bred and there is NOT a pure race of any kind.

What is the bible to you?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 8, 2018:

If you are Catholic it is a collection of 73 books. If Protestant it is 66 books. It is important to know that there were many different books involved and they were all separate and independent books in their own right. Long after times of Jesus it was decided to bind the religious books together into one volume so believers would have a collection of approved books. Some made the grade and some did not. The separate books were bound in such a way as to "tell a story" but it took over 100 years for Revelation to be finally accepted.** This is why the bible has contradictions.** This is also why I can dismiss ideas of a biblical god. The bible is similar to the novel or movie "Frankenstein" where a living being is made from many different parts of dead bodies and then brought back to life.

Something Instead of Nothing. Why?

Should I get the flu vaccine? What to know before flu season

DenoPenno comments on Sep 8, 2018:

Vaccine has been around my entire lifetime and it does make a difference with many diseases. Ideas that it causes autism are very lame and just make money for the ones writing books on that subject. Many diseases were eradicated in my lifetime by vaccines i. e. that today you seldom see people with polio. I knew a few when I was young. Will I get the flu vaccine this year? You bet! Will it prevent anything? Maybe not. It you get the vaccine and do get the flu it still may help you get well quicker. At best getting the vaccine is like flipping a coin. This is because they have only "guessed" at which flu strain is coming. Nobody knows for sure. Also be aware that influenza is one of the biggest killers in the world. It kills young and old. It is wise to immunize.

Be very much aware that others may have figured out your personal situation to a point of them wanting to gain from it and they will entice you with words that are extremely misleading. People do this because they know that even "cutie beuties" get lonely. If you allow this to continue do not give money and by all means get a lawyer and use a pre -nup.

I simply said "I don't go to church" and shut the door.) Old people groups are all around but I don't get off on discussing grandkids or what happened in 1902. Life was apparently easier in the 1950's but I don't want to discuss that either. I'm this 18 to 25 year old guy in this much older body. I'm not sure where to find someone that accepts that and I don't want to settle for anyone else. I'm lonely but not that lonely.

Love is it real

DenoPenno comments on Sep 7, 2018:

I talk forever and people go on and on about love. It all sounds good and has something in what they say that we can identify with. In the end love is nothing more than a decision. Due to qualities that we see and share we accept and have decided to "love" each other and one another. In personal feelings of a couple who love each other a sense of smell plays a big part also.

This thing was proven to have come from the middle ages years ago and it even has signs of tampering just to keep it looking the way it does. Too bad that doesn't end it. OK, imagine it is the real burial cloth and it looks like a negative image. How many crucified men actually ended up in burial clothes and how would you know this cloth was that of crucified Jesus? There's no way to know. Absolutely none. People keep wanting to put this piece of crap and things like "finding an Ark" in there as proof of the bible. I'm sorry. It just doesn't work.

What are Trump's effects on the country's percentage of racist people?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 7, 2018:

Certainly Trump's rants and words incite people. Look at the white supremacists who have come out of the woodwork to try and run for office. Trump gets elected and more of this happens. Then there was the interview with such a man by a woman of color and the man told her she was only smart because she had "some white blood" in her. A similar interview with a Nazi type right after Charlottesville had this skin head tattooed man saying he would rather kill the interviewer as look at her. Exact dates, times, and names are missing here because I have forgotten them but I saw the reports I'm describing on TV. Lastly, I remember several people telling me that I had to hate my wife now that we are divorced. OK, my ex wife is from Kenya and after 12 years we went our separate ways. Why do I have to hate her? What they meant, of course, is that she is a person of color. Black. Yes, black. Even today if I tell someone that my ex was from Kenya I am asked if she was a missionary over there. Racism has always been here but I have no doubts that Trump influences it for the worst in America today.

Since my channel link didn't work when I tried posting it earlier, here is a link to my most recent ...

I agree with you 100% all the way. It appears you have really done your homework on this subject. Those who disagree have to watch that they do not put the burden of proof upon themselves. I cannot prove to you that there are no gods but I am 99.9 percent certain.

That sounds fair enough. Why people get angry and burn and destroy things? How dumb. Get them to the poor.

Media is dubbing this person as "Lodestar." I feel that it might be credible. Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out to be Jeff Session?

Ex-Muslims Banned at Starbucks - TheThinkingAtheist [youtube.com]

DenoPenno comments on Sep 6, 2018:

WTF is wrong with Starbucks? Are they wanting to drive people away? Does Donald Trump own a big part of their stock? IDK.

I’m no fan of the capitalist system, however I know a red herring when I see one especially if ...

DenoPenno comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Good read. At one time there was nothing wrong with the capitalist system. It got out of hand in recent times when the top 1 percent got so greedy they wanted to convince everyone that the real problem was the person in front of you in a grocery store and that person was using food stamps.

I was on Thesaurus.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Yes, Trumpery does apply to Donald Stump. :)

Is your workplace atheist friendly.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 6, 2018:

I think people at my workplace suspect that I am atheist, but I have to be careful. The founder of the corporation was extremely religious and some of that has carried over. You have to watch what you say. What they know about me specifically is that I once studied for the ministry but today I am not religious. I tend to leave it right there.

The Humanist Dilemma: Is It Right—or Obligatory—to Mandate Basic Education for All?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Basic education for all should be a right in modern society today. Without it people as a whole cannot work towards the good of that society.

Where did he get this idea that he is a pet [globalnews.ca]

I have this effect on animals but it is obvious that someone in that vehicle was sending him good vibes.

EVERYBODY IS LYING Poor Donald.

Could it be that not all of the public will believe something if they hear it repeated 3 times?

Lil Guiness after work ?..Happy Hump Day everyone!

I hated Guinness until I went to Kenya. Now I love it as a draft beer. They must be catching on coz they have that in cans now.

4000 years later, and we have returned to the same method of writing

DenoPenno comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Funny and true but I avoid a lot of it. Maybe we have come this far because kids in school cannot write any longer. Many people today simply print their names as a signature. WTF? Put your X and a smiley face right here on the line, Mr. Jones. Can you imagine a court case where they argue on whether it really was or was not Mr. Jones' X? It's a crazy world.

Well I just calculated that I need to make 293 points a day to get to level 8 by halloween.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Good luck. I'm fast getting there but have no goal for it and no plan. If it happens it happens.

It's that season...

Plenty of deer around my area of Missouri. Almost every year somebody I know will have had a bad encounter with one that totally wrecked their car. In rare situations the deer escapes.

Douches be turning on each other now! g:40

DenoPenno comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Funny. Who is "Lodestar?" Is it really this troll? It could be anyone.

When and why do people become atheists?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 6, 2018:

When you find a child who upon learning to talk expresses to you how wonderful heaven was and tells you all about god and Jesus without ever having heard anything at all on this subject beforehand, then I think it is time to re-evaluate the god and religion issues. People do and have reported things or this nature in the past and others think it is so amazing. It's not. The child was not existing in a bubble and was surely coached. It boils down to the fact that gods and religions are** made up. **It means somebody told you about them. I lost a lot of my life due to this and for the most part it was stressful and painful in the end. I am thankful to be free of it all today.

Arguing your way into heaven.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Before I ever started to argue my way into heaven I would first have to have proof that there was a heaven.

We have all been fooled enough by the invisible MAGA. It's way past time for a change.

I have been posting this around in a couple of places, what do you think What is it going to take...

DenoPenno comments on Sep 6, 2018:

We need to do what is necessary to fix this, and put integrity, common courtesy, and respect back into the ultimate role model. I've started with your final sentence and I'm just as frustrated as you are. It's an impossible battle but all I can say for sure is the NYT letter from a person now dubbed as "lodestar" shows that some people surrounding this POS POTUS thinks the way Americans really should. Fuck Donald Trump! This is all about the survival of America before we get taken down to the level of banana republic. The super rich may not care, but I'm not thrilled with that idea.

How do you relax?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 5, 2018:

I'm an alcoholic but that doesn't work so well for me today. Yesterday I had 5 or so whiskey drinks. Today I have had none. Twenty years ago I could drink you under the table with no problems and no nonsense. I go weeks at a time without drinking. My liver sometimes tells me not to.

How does one go about being a polite atheist?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 5, 2018:

Sometimes I cuss like a sailor but I am really a very nice and kind person. When it comes to being a polite atheist I'm pretty much like David Silverman.

I like these bigly

The best one looks like Tom Hanks going to Halloween as a Trump supporter. Classic.
