Bernie Sanders’ Criticism Of Israel Is Radical. And He’s Taking It Mainstream – The Forward

DenoPenno comments on Jun 11, 2018:

I agree with Bernie. Dems have now made a move to block people like Bernie when it comes to who stands for what in the party and who will get the nomination. Maybe they thought after the fact that it was Bernie who cost Hillary the election. Who know? ****~~~~** As for being radical on Israel I might hold that stance too. I don't like Nutiyahu. I also do not know why the first half of this post went bold.

The lyrics fits him perfectly. Should have been his campaign ad when he was running for election.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 11, 2018:

Perfect for Trump all the way. I think it describes him and his presidency to a T.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 11, 2018:

We have morality in various moral positions because of the structure of the society that we live in. This is why morality is not the same in all parts of the world. If a biblical god was responsible for our morality then morality would be exactly the same in every part of the world. That just does not happen. Ideas of morality are ever changing. EXAMPLE: If we think a god is responsible for our morality then we need to explain why a woman's bathing suit has changed so much from what it was in the 1920's. Has god given us a new morality? Maybe it is just changes in the structure of the society we live in.

You cannot win with them. Just recently online I posted that I stopped believing in god when I learned that god watches you crap. Somebody posted back to me that god watches me crap whether I believe in him or not. I demanded evidence of that. His reply was that I crap so much. They get stupid because they have no evidence of anything.

I suspect that something said in translation will make the couple angry. There will be no wedded bliss. Most of this will happen because Trump would have summed it all up instantly because he "has a way of doing that." Until this happens Kim will be for it because he wants some of that American money.

On top of that we have no idea when Jesus was born or when he died. Neither of these events are in the gospels. His death is linked to a religious festival that changes around yearly so we have no date there. I'm sure by now that people do know there's no way he was born on December 25th. Mystery Jesus the astral man. Nothing much valid or original here.

The meme spells out the operation of both Hitler and Trump using a similar mindset to deal with and control the people. It appears very plain to me. You cannot reach neutral ground with any Trump supporter if you point this out. All they do is start talking about something else. Not only is their subject matter out of the question. Most often it is out of this world. This would not bother me if I thought they knew a secret that I do not know. What bothers me is that I often wonder if they know anything. How did this happen?

They don't have any sense.

I just read an article about the recent school shooting in Texas in a magazine called The Week.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 7, 2018:

There is violence in video games and since some of the recent school shootings a game maker came out with one called "Active Shooter." That was in poor taste and might have been recalled. We also have kids deeply into "the knockout game" which so many think is so cute - but it really isn't. So, now take bullied and disenchanted kids who see they can be noticed by either shooting or "knocking out" more than the last person did. It's sort of like a challenge game. "Wait till they see how many I'm gonna be killing." Keep in mind that I don't think the parents are supportive of the kids and most likely did not try to help them with a purpose in life. These shooters are young people who have just not found themselves.

Well, let's try wit and humor. Actually it varies with everyone. Two of my wives were younger. Two were older. None of them were alike. One of them was black. I interacted with them openly as myself and I think they did the same with me. I'm not sure that I have a "type" unless it was someone from a movie. BTW, my ex from Kenya fits into that mold. She could have easily have been a model if not an actress. I get along in a "live and let live" mode. My plan is I will be me, and you can be you.

Trump is flexing muscle here trying to remind us that Mueller's investigation means nothing. By doing this he sends a message to his people that there is nothing to worry about. He will get them out of it by pardon. Ignore the 17 plus indictments Mueller already has and Trump supporters deny. Trump pardoned 2 from his Reality TV days recently and now tweets all over that he has power to even pardon himself. He may try it, but do not believe it. He's a cornered rat with a bad habit of picking idiot attorneys. ://www.justice.gov/file/20856/download

Anti-vaccine is a religion

DenoPenno comments on Jun 6, 2018:

It's almost idiotic and just more insanity. My take on vaccine is really pretty plain. As a child I knew people who had polio and I saw what it did to their arms and legs. I don't see polio any longer. I also do not see other major diseases that they vaccinate for around today. The reason I do not see these things is because vaccination works. I'm able to see these results because I just turned 72. I was a witness to what I write. There is no way in hell I would think that vaccination causes autism. Somebody is making money off these ideas and they do not care about you or your children.

Just last night I talked on the phone with a 79 year old relative who is a believer. It upset her when I said there is nobody in hell right now. It's empty. When I proved this by scripture it upset her a bit more. The reason is it messes with their "soul belief." Theists of the Evangelical type have to instantly be in heaven or hell if they are not alive here on earth. It's so damned funny. Carlin could have done a good job with it. BTW, thanks for the quote.

Does anyone use the Skywire device for television reception? What can you tell me about it?

DenoPenno comments on Jun 4, 2018:

Skywire is simply another TV antenna. It's similar to the Moleaf outdoor/indoor antennas and there are several outdoor OTA (over the air) antennas out now. All of these will work if you are close to the broadcast source. The difference between analog and digital is simply a broadcast format. All TV is digital now. It means that your antenna will recieve 1080 HD signals OTA if you have an antenna. There is no such thing as a "digital antenna." When it all went digital in 2009 I dropped Dish and started experimenting with antennas because I knew a digital picture is the best you can get. It's now years later and I have an antenna that I built on a tower 38 feet in the air. (30 feet is recommended.) I'm 65 miles from St. Louis and I get all 32 of their stations. My antenna is similar to the GE Outdoor Pro that you can buy at Walmart. (I beefed mine up more.) The antenna is as light as a loaf of bread and less than 3 feet long. Aiming it by compass degree can be learned on sites similar to TV Fool. If you live less than 65 miles to 70 miles from the area you want signals from and can mount an antenna in "line of sight" direction to your city you may have great luck with these antennas. A friend of mine 50 miles from St. Louis gets great TV with an antenna mounted a lot less than the height of mine. It's a great hobby for me and I can turn my antenna from the ground and get stations in Jefferson City or Columbia as well. Becoming a "TV King" might have even contributed to the end of my marriage. I was totally obsessed with doing all of this in the last 3 years of my marriage. :)

I thought I Would remind a few of us just how the 2016 election final outcome really ended.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 4, 2018:

The meme details our last election but fails to point out that something referred to as "cross check" was also used in the final analysis. Cross check is a flawed machine right out of Kock brothers Kansas that checks to see if Smith and Jones (you and me) might have voted in more than one location. The electoral college got this final vote later after cross check was applied to all Democratic votes. It was not applied to Republican votes at all. Clinton's upper hand and vote majority simply vanished. Do not be surprised if the bastards use cross check, or re-name it and use it again in any future elections. Nonsense like this should be eliminated immediately.

We appear headed in this direction.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 3, 2018:

Anarchy is here now. Powers that be want to protect this moron so much that they say he cannot appear before Mueller for fear that he will perjure himself. In other words, they know he cannot tell the truth. Now they want him to pardon himself and anybody that Mueller has indicted. Ask yourself if this is possible. If it was illegal in America before and it now becomes possible, ask yourself what it means. Dump Trump. Donnie has to go. Hell with the Kock brothers and friends. This is not government.

My ex wife was African. Her grandfather was part of a group that founded Legio Maria. This is sort of a mix of African beliefs with Catholicism and Pentecostalism. (You would have to look this up.) We used to talk religion. Once I became atheist she would still talk religion with me and she would agree with me. She thinks my words make sense. Even so, her final words are always "everyone knows there is a god."

After that we are each going in different directions. I honestly feel that too many people remain together because they are faking their togetherness needs.

By age 13 they are really getting me into this and I'm going to become a preacher. An atheist today, I feel like a latter day Marjoe Gortner. I was indoctrinated but without the water boarding.

He gave everyone a tract that they could redeem for eternal life if they just knew how. He handed me one but I refused it. He then asked if I wanted to live forever. My answer was "not really." At that point he avoided me. I had looked him straight in the eyes but was already atheist at the time. Perhaps he knew this by my answer. Certainly I would have disrupted his show.

Last Easter I posted the following photo on FB and apparently I offended some relatives.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 2, 2018:

Leave it up! I think the entire thing is bizarre. Imagine instead a Jesus that was given the electric chair. His followers now wear small electric chairs (with him sitting in it) around their necks on a silver chain. My, how religious we are.

If she is Catholic and hellbent on this it would appear that you have to do it their way.

Why doesn't god intervene when innocent children are being raped or starved?

DenoPenno comments on Jun 2, 2018:

The fact that god never does ANYTHING is the biggest evidence of the non-existence of any gods. People simply make it up. They have always made it up, but they lie so much that they tend to forget they are lying. I once attended a church where god needed a certain number of piano players. People even pretend that "god heals" when they are taking medicine or have surgery. Believing surgeons sometimes want to pray with you before the operation. WTF? Not me. Sorry, doc. YOU are not going to operate on me.

Has anyone here read One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America by Kevin...

DenoPenno comments on Jun 2, 2018:

I haven't read it but maybe I should. My take on religion in America is that believers have always wanted you to think we are "a Christian nation." This starts out with false claims of settlers coming here and why they did in the first place. (To worship god, of course.) At some point it might benefit corporate America to push these beliefs. One mindset is created to the point that today believers think that god and Jesus had something to do with our Constitution. How utterly bizarre this trash gets. This is the mindset of why Israel had to become a state when it did (it's in the Buybull) and what it all means to believing Americans. My step father always said that his big proof of the bible being true was that it predicted in the end that Jews would all come back to Israel and that was happening today. OK, I would predict that there are just as many Jews living elsewhere as there have ever been.

A 64-year-old put his life savings in his carry-on.

His life savings was likely to be over the limit that you could safely carry around with you. As such they will take the money coz "he might be a drug dealer." We have an added possibility that he might be "taking the money out of the country." Sometimes it is a long hard fight to get this money back, if you ever get the money back.

God's plan for your life

Exactly so. This is also why god never heals those poor children with cancer at St. Jude.

Random thought - Do you think that the Trump/Kim Jong Un meeting is back on so Trump can hock his ...

DenoPenno comments on Jun 1, 2018:

It's back on but Kim wants more, so look for more than one meeting on this matter. Later we will hear how much Dump worked on this, so he definitely deserves his Nobel Prize.

A big contingent of my wife's bible thumping family is coming to our house for the weekend.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 1, 2018:

Why give in? It's your house so don't let them have the high ground in this. Also, imagine over 2000 **years ago with no refrigeration** and people praying, thanking god for the food, and** asking that it be used "for the nourishment of their bodies.**" I know exactly what that means under the circumstances. Todays believer goes right into how god controls everything and without him you would have no food. Wrong! Just totally wrong on the "grace" idea. It should be self evident.

Trump likes orange...

Classic.

We need to take control of our society, our evolution, our world and our Multiverse!

DenoPenno comments on Jun 1, 2018:

I read your main title for the meme and it seems that TV shows like "The Flash," "Supergirl," etc. have already done this. Yeah, a multiverse can explain anything.

Nice to know history

DenoPenno comments on Jun 1, 2018:

The bad thing here is that the moron really did say this. It made headlines. Yet, his base will support him claiming that he never made the remark.

Angry Young Preacher: The Bible Says Gay People Should Be Executed (Humanely) – Friendly Atheist

DenoPenno comments on May 31, 2018:

The angry young preacher needs to remember that he is reading out of 66 different books that all say different things and some are contradictory. He has been tricked into believing that all these books go together. Truth is they are just under one cover now. When you find trouble with the bible just remember where it came from and what form it had then compared as to its form now. The writings prove nothing except the fallibility of the book.
