I was wondering who this attractive woman sitting behind Kavanaugh was.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 5, 2018:

Hmmm. All OK but 2 in opposition. OK, 2 to go. My guess at this is what does look like some secret signal. It would mean that she knows the event is being watched but she cannot just phone her opinion in right then, so she gives a hand signal that would be noticed to those watching it all on TV. This works well if the one needing to know is in a meeting, also watching, or for some other reason cannot just suddenly accept a cell call at that moment. The person signaling is some sort of insider.

‘The Bible is about white people,’ he wrote. Then he confessed to killing his black roommate.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 5, 2018:

The disturbing thing about this type of nonsense is that it isn't true at all and Jesus was not "white people" either. The original message of the gospels was only for Jews and Paul created waves by making it for everybody. Now let's go back to the black man idea and we find some people want to tell you where the black man came from. "Smart preachers" want to claim it was the mark that was put upon Cain. Wait a minute. God gave Cain a mark so that everybody **would not want to kill or harm him**, but people are always harming and killing black people. Sorry preacher. Wrong on that one.

The Case for Dark Matter in the Universe

DenoPenno comments on Sep 5, 2018:

My take on Dark Matter is that it explains so many things that we are unable to see even with Hubble. This means our image of the universe is not complete and brings into play the fact that "nothing" really is something. Enough study will bring up a dimensional model and image of the universe.

Curious about others' path toward atheism.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 5, 2018:

I am so much more comfortable today. I paraphrase my experience to that of Paul in the bible when the scales fell off his eyes and I do that for a reason. Believers still don't get it and in discussion many of them want the threaten me with hell. You can laugh and see exactly why they are believers. Ask yourself why there would be an invisible man in the sky in the first place. It's because that belief system** gives answers to believers** and they so badly need answers to things that we have no way of knowing.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 5, 2018:

Lots of words here but the bottom line is still that he is giving them a platform to lie. I say this because so many times in discussion or even just listening to anyone in the Trump Swamp you find that the reply does not match the question. It's as off as claiming the moon is made of green cheese. This is much more than difference of opinion. It's idiocy! I find on a personal level that so many of them seem to share the same memory as DJT in all that he says and does and this changes the past drastically prior to the 2016 election. NOBODY IN MY LIFETIME has that effect on me, and this is why it is idiocy! It is what it is, folks.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 4, 2018:

So many Evangelicals want to tell you that this story is real and **NOT an allegory**. OK. Let's get some reality out of Job. God and the devil are buddies and they had a bet. God said that Job would not curse him regardless of what happened to him. The devil said the opposite. Everything bad happens to Job and he has disease and loses everything including his wife and children. Since he never cursed god he gets everything back in the end including his wife and children. Since women and children are just like cattle to a man in those days we have to ask if the wife and children are new or are they the ones that died? Evangelicals will claim the latter and ignore that the story means **we had to have had resurrections before Jesus.** So much for the marvelous bible story. If you have ever read the bible it has many examples of resurrection in it and not just Jesus. Why does this not happen today? Possibly it's because it never happened back then either.

The ins and outs of pre-nups: [bbc.co.uk]

DenoPenno comments on Sep 4, 2018:

A pre-nup is not a bad idea. My example is that when I got my ex wife here from Kenya the government said we had to have only one bank account. Once she got here we each had a bank account and set up ideas of which one of us would pay what. I think both of us liked this idea but the average rednecks that I know had a fit. All the money has to be in one account they said. Most just gave their checks to the wife in exchange for a carton of cigs or some beer. How ignorant! I still have 3 bank accounts and I get by daily by cleverly moving money from one account to the other similar to the 3 shells with the pea under them. Being married does not mean that your other half has control of your personal money.

What do you think about extraterrestrials?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 4, 2018:

The potential for extraterrestrial life is certainly there. The claims of them being here and mingling even in minor ways with us are not provable. There is no evidence, but the vast scope of the universe would almost certainly have to make it a reality. How big is our universe? It may be ever expanding without an end.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 4, 2018:

To just take a part of this let me remind everyone on this Labor Day that there is little or nothing Trump has done to help US labor. It simply is not going to happen. Americans with social security, overtime, holiday pay, etc. seem to take it all for granted without realizing it was a long fight getting here. Some dishonest people (even on this site) will tell us all that our heros are bad people and go to great lengths to try and prove it. They offer a smoke screen of all the harm Dems have done to distract you from Trump. Ask them to prove what Trump has done for America. Ask them to show facts on how he is improving American life for us all. They will have to shut up or just blow more smoke.

Very informative. I still watch how I word things on gods not existing because if you make a 100% claim of " no gods" then you switch the burden of proof upon yourself. Are there any gods? Not likely. Then the theist asks "how did we all get here then?" By incest, you ninny. That was the plan of your perfect god. Dumb theists even think we all got here one at a time. Since that is how it happens today they just move the dates all back and allow humans to live for very long periods. LOL

Came across this on FB today...so true!

DenoPenno comments on Sep 3, 2018:

Exactly true. The science hostile government in case of America today is in place so the rich do not have to abide by any agency like the EPA. This is because they want all the money they can get and do not care about your health, your water, your food, your jobs, or your children. In other words,"** god is still up there and he is taking care of everything." ** Then they start groups to trick you into believing that dollars are voting power and have you back them up.

Very true and real here. Start voting or you may lose that privilege and never have it again. Labor Day may not mean so much to any of us today but we did not get this holiday because people stayed quiet and the GOP really wanted it. All the opposite. People are at work today to take away all we have gained over the years and everyone is allowing it. If we do not change everything in November and get a balance of power we could become a banana republic. The rich do not care and they still keep their riches. Do you support all your taxpayer money going back to the top 1 percent? Do you really believe that the problems in the world today are caused by that person in front of you in the grocery store with food stamps? If so you are deceived.

The Bible, the old and new testament.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 1, 2018:

There is no "exact voice of god" and the bible is not an "important historical book." This Frankenstein of scripture that we call the bible is actually made up of 66 independent books if you are Protestant. If you are Catholic there are 73 of them. Some 300 years after the time of Jesus there were so many books floating around that it was not funny. Churches had their favorite books and some churches were not aware of the books the others had. Some of the books told stories of Jesus as a child making birds out of clay or killing enemies. One book had a talking cross after crucifixion. Some had miracles just a bit beyond belief. By the time Constantine got involved the idea was to get rid of ridiculous books and put the accepted ones in a big volume. Over the years there were so many religious books. Were the stories real or allegorical? This took some time and many councils because of differing belief but the big** volume had a beginning and an end just like a big storybook**. Revelation was the last book accepted and is still not accepted by everyone even today. Understanding of the above is why you see contradictions in what is called the bible. All these individual books were floating around from the beginning and **were not meant to be bound together as one story**. This is the main reason I reject the Abrahamic god. Seeing a similar pattern in all scriptures it is a main reason to reject god belief in general. There is no record written by an invisible being. Gods are not trying to talk to you.

Each week gets progressively (no pun intended) worse for Donald Trump.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 1, 2018:

How did those Dems influence other countries? I'm wondering just when this man will take to wearing a military uniform. Why is he calling to everyone now that if the GOP loses in November **"there will be violence?**" Isn't there anyone that can see what this is? I'm afraid of my own government and I'm a natural born citizen.

When we are bitter with the former spouse and talk badly about them we are really telling others how bad they were so we will look good. It's a form of insecurity and we need to be reassured that our friends still like us. Especially if they liked both of you at one time. In my case I found a certain amount of Missouri rednecks who told me I "have to hate" my ex wife. Try as they may they just could not get their racist shit through to me. I can't buy hatred in relationships. It helps no one.

Prayers at meetings

DenoPenno comments on Aug 29, 2018:

Try not holding your head down with eyes closed as they pray. Look around and see who else might be looking around and maybe even looking at you. Then you will know how many of them actually feel like you do.

List favorite methods of recreational non-motorized transportation, then name your favorite.

I used to like bicycles until they changed them into some freak thing you had to ride while looking straight down and made the seat so damned small it might shove right up your ass. I've since found that if you spend a good $500 plus you can get a good old fashioned bike still. I once had a girlfriend who bought me the first style of "racing bike" and I rode it to work twice. After that I gave it back to her. She gave it to a family member.

Are we all basically selfish apes?

DenoPenno comments on Aug 29, 2018:

We are not apes. We just share a common ancestor. Actually, humans are more selfish than apes and we might learn a lot from apes.

I God necessary to live a moral life?

DenoPenno comments on Aug 29, 2018:

Real morality is knowing from common sense that you should not be poking others in the eye with a sharp stick.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 29, 2018:

I understand this and I don't blame you. I might feel like that too if it happened to me. On the other hand, I'm not working towards any goals except maybe staying alive a bit longer. I'm not bettering myself or going to school, and I'm not trying to become who I ought to be. I work and I draw SS too. I'm reclusive but lonely, and I prefer to live alone. The exciting days of my life have passed.

How the Department of Homeland Security Created a Deceptive Tale of Russia Hacking US Voter Sites...

DenoPenno comments on Aug 29, 2018:

Here we go again. DHS is working for Trump and currently pulling passports of long time American citizens living close to the Mexican border, cancelling and revoking said passports, and trying there best to get these people to confess that they were really "born in Mexico" and just had illegal passports the whole time. This might explain all those "illegal votes" that Trump talks about. This is in the news and is typical of Trump. Now all he has to do is say it 3 times. But wait! DHS is working with Trump on this and yet it was they who created deceptive tales of Russia hacking US voter sites. Really. Who are they working for? I would not think that DHS could be doing both of these things and the hacking is not in Trump's best interest.

Post a song, maybe even daily, about our age group/generation.

Go to You Tube and look up Aretha Franklin singing "Don't Play That Song - You Lied" from 1970. She was on a TV show and sang and played the piano. I choked up and damn near cried, then I had to play it all again. The sheer power of her voice and her delivery reminded me of a revival meeting, but then those things and her background.

Have any if you learned of a family secret that just blew you away or helped you understand why ...

Depending on the era they were raised in you find that parents do strange things. My mother has been dead over 6 years and not long before she died she had tried again to convince me that I never lived with my grandparents. This had been a lifelong fight and she claimed I never lived with them and never went to the local school in their area. Instead, she claimed that she "allowed me" to visit with them during summer vacations from school and that was what I was remembering. She had resented that I told my daughters otherwise. The problem was that I as being robbed of my memories and my cousins that I went to school with had the same memories that I did. After mom died I found she had an old school pic of me from the local school in my grandparents area. What was this all about? I was very simple really. In my mom's era you were considered to be an unfit mother if you gave your child to your parents to raise and then went off to the big city to find work. I was "re-claimed" at age 9 when mom married again.

‘No One Is Ever Really Ready’ Death with Dignity

DenoPenno comments on Aug 29, 2018:

Funeral homes do not like me. When I die I am going to be cremated plain and simple. Death with dignity? There is no such thing. It's an invention of funeral homes to make more money.

As atheists how many of us have set atheistic goals to be accomplished by a certain time ?

DenoPenno comments on Aug 29, 2018:

I have no atheist goals. I make no New Years resolutions. Other than being left the fuck alone I try to avoid the general bullshit of life. Personal reality is not dictated. You create it and my reality is not in competition with anything or anyone.

His latest dilusional rant.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 29, 2018:

Another quote on this was that he told the Evangelicals "if we lose the midterms there will be violence." I almost take it as a call to violence in order to have something like Charlottesville all over again - or even worse. He has also said that elections as you know them will be a thing of the past. Is his "violence" something he wants you to think the Dems are going to do? When have they did this sort of thing in the past and can you document it? My take is that Trump wants to start another civil war to stay in power. His supporters will believe anything and he has also said that "flipping" on someone to avoid prosecution "should be against the law." I don't understand how anyone can hear this crap and keep a straight face.

It sounds very interesting to me.

Remember that the stable genius will have an attorney draw up documents of protection made out in phony names. How clever.
