Thoughts on "things happen for a reason"

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

I do believe everything happens for a reason but we do not and cannot always know that reason. I. E. If I drop a rock while holding it, the rock will fall to the ground. If I fire a gun the bullet will travel in a straight line to the target. Now this last one poses a problem. Humans tend to claim they are holding the gun in such a way as to "aim" at the target. If so, why would they miss? I've thrown in a variable to the "things happening for a reason" that we just cannot answer properly. This is when humans throw in an invisible god and start making things up. This is what most people do rather than admit that "they do not know" something. We create our own destiny.

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

Having been fooled by the religious world as a young teen, my take is different on these things today. "Do you know Jesus?" I can honestly say that I do not know him and neither do you. There is no way possible to know him. Sorry.

I've been doing some serious TVing.

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

View the "news" and it does seem that nothing is truly united. Money and politics distracts and distorts.

When if ever will the press and dems stand up and rebuff Trumps outrageous distortions of the truth?

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

It is appalling and should be addressed as it truly is. TRUMP LIES. The only hope of calling this as it is would have to be in a balance of political power and we can vote and hope for that balance in November 2018. Without it Trump's lies will not be addressed. Without it Trump will never be impeached. Without that much needed balance of political power Trump will continue to go forward with his lunacy and insane demands with no checks and balances. Media will continue to go forward allowing you to think this Orange Clown is perfectly normal and does everything with the well being of America and it's citizens in mind. Even a child knows this is not so. We must continue to enlighten others before it is too late.

The Irony of it is, that "if" there was such a personge, the average self descirbed evangelical, ...

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

This meme is well taken and true everywhere but not seen by the faithful. In my area there are so many believers who say "Jesus would not be happy with all the handouts." Maybe they are right. Jesus would want to keep all the money for himself.

13 Common (But Silly) Superstitions

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

While I can stand not walking under a ladder because something like paint just may fall on you, lots of this is plain out silly. Let's take 666 from the Buybull for example. Is it the number of "man" or the number of "a man?" Some just cannot stand it. They want no 666 in their address or phone number. OMG! Strangely, it doesn't bother me. Use all the 6's you like. My address could be 666 Something St. I don't care.

Not this shit again.

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

This silliness is all over Facebook and my own children even fall for it. The mentality behind this is the same that shows Jesus and the Devil arm wrestling. We must remember as well that Jesus logs onto his Facebook account to see if there are enough "likes" to do something about prayers for healing.

Do people become more bigoted as they age?

DenoPenno comments on May 22, 2018:

I think you are onto something. I've seen it in my demented step father and others as well. It may be surfacing because of Trump and the idiocy he has set lose since becoming POTUS. His ideas cause hate and opinions to come out like never before. Now that Trump is in the WH and tweeting out his nonsense, people left and right are saying how bad it was under Obama. Bad? Was it because you were aware a black man was in the WH? Trump is bad, on the other hand, because he appeals to your innermost base feelings and you start putting yourself first in everything. The only thing important is YOU. This is how Donnie thinks and he doesn't mean you. He means HIM! Such a bad apple rubs off somewhat on everyone.

What happens when we die?

DenoPenno comments on May 22, 2018:

You die and your consciousness moves on. To where? Why is it that nobody has made contact with such consciousness? With this unanswered it makes me say you have no proof for your belief. It's the same wishful thinking that theists use because of their fear of death. I had no answers or anxieties before I was born. I suspect it will be much the same way after I die.

But our country was built on Christianity...ok, got it. (sarcasm)

DenoPenno comments on May 22, 2018:

Yes, but it has to be true about Christianity because that mean old King would not let us worship our god so we came here. Right? It has to be right. That's why we came to this country. Right? Religious free dumb.

DenoPenno comments on May 22, 2018:

Welcome. We are glad you are here. It took many years for me to become atheist but the main reason has to do with the many defective "holy books" and how they prove nothing. Gods are imaginary.

What has The Trump Presidency Done For or To the US?

DenoPenno comments on May 22, 2018:

A chimpanzee could have done a better job than Trump has done. Going into 2 years now as POTUS we see that Trump demands a DOJ investigation into his allegation that the FBI was reporting on him and had him under surveillance for political purposes during his campaign. Is this part of his ego, his dementia, or both? We are told that the American people have a right to know. I contend that nobody would have thought of this smoke screen until the Oldtimer's dementia kicked in. Anything to keep the insanity going.

Have these guys ever successfully boycotted anything?

DenoPenno comments on May 21, 2018:

The Obama's are going to give us some good political programs that should be very educational to everyone. Well, not really to everyone. Those Murcans who have broken their coffee makers and find all the truth on Faux just may not like it so much. Those poor babies! They had to put up with actually seeing a black president daily for 8 years and I'm sure it really caused trama. Boo hoo hoo! Meanwhile, Trump announced just today that he wants the FBI checked into for monitoring him during his campaign. He's going on 2 years in office and surely this FBI monitoring must have been illegal. Personally I think the Alzheimers is really setting in.

And, of course, it will be across the street from a Church.

Impeach-a-Palooza Upon the impeachment, indictment or otherwise the resignation of Donald J.

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

I don't think impeachment will do it, and I don't see Trump leaving quietly. In fact, I see Trump and his cronies trying to use all the investigations and "fake" evidence as reasons why he should stay in office, maybe even indefinitely. I won't feel relief from this nightmare until the bastard is in the ground. It would not work however. Then he would want Eddie Munster to take over for him if Mueller doesn't get him too.

Trump and his Lawsuits

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

Apparently his poor supporters don't think they really need or qualify for the many things he has stolen from us all already. What things are those? Well, if you follow closely and don't see them already you should start seeing by 2018 and beyond.

My ex lied to my children about me.

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

It happened to me years ago and it happens because the other parent is afraid of losing the children. This causes both parties to use the children when they are often still fighting among themselves. The best thing is to ignore it if possible. If that cannot be done explain it in your words without damning the other parent. In time the children see that both parents have to be dealt with a certain way and they fall in line with this because they normally love both parents.

Is Trump a cult leader? Reza Aslan talks about Trump and his Evangelical followers: [youtu.be]

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

Yes, the "value voters." It's white Evangelical voters because this is all about white privilege. This is a reclaiming of the religious ways of the past. Only whites matter. They control everything and even religion. Slavery was OK because it taught the slaves about the "true gawd." The Trump cult that now springs up says it is OK to be a neo Nazi American or a Klansman. I find all of it disturbing and damned dangerous!

As a non-believer, what are your feelings on the Satanic church?

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

I do not believe in anything supernatural. No god, no satan. What I do know is that Satanists have used their group in the way that religion would in order to deal with totally ignorant laws involving public schools and religious ideas. For this they should be commended.

Google.

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

Google and Facebook, along with a few others have some very strange ways about them. As for me, I've long used an abbreviation or similar thing for my online identity for very obvious reasons. I have found many times that my real name comes through with Google, especially if I have signed in using said name and then posted. This is not always true. I Googled myself recently and found that Google says I am Michael Penn, Sean Penn's brother. They even have my picture there too. On one site I am known as Michael Penn but it is a shortening down of my own name. I do not know Sean Penn of his brother and I'm not trying to pose as either one of them. Google Analytics is not very smart.

THOSE MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS I have to admit that I set my insurance lady up for this.

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

I'm trying to understand your comment, Vam, but notice my posting is not really about "illegal immigration." My remarks about how to get into political activism are not even about immigration.** What I am addressing here is the totally batshit crazy reactions of many if they simply hear someone speaking Spanish or another language**. I set the stage in telling the story to my insurance lady because I knew deep down that she would think I was going to go crazy on this lady over the language issue just like others on TV or the Internet have done. It also shows the position my insurance lady holds. This is why she started laughing. *There could be a thousand reasons this lady I talked with does not speak English. The obvious one is that she has not learned the language. I'm not the ICE informer or the language police. These are the tactics of Nazi Germany. I do not know anything about the lady I talked to in the store that day and it's not my job to assume anything. She might be a communist. For all I know she is atheist. Maybe secretly. Maybe if we can get a crowd gathered around her we could water board her and find out. * I brought my own (now ex) wife here from Kenya and I did all her paperwork. Today she is a US citizen. There was never a "set of papers" that she was supposed to carry with her at all times. As far as I know this has not changed over 12 years later. Such ideas make good movie fodder and also play right along with the extreme right. Some of this is turning average Americans into idiots today.

So Trump "fulfilled biblical prophesy." Alright! Now all the Evangelicals need to do is wake up and see that all fulfilled biblical prophesy is simply the fact that the book was not written when they think it was, or that they are taking scripture completely out of context. In many cases it is both. What is happening now in the Middle East is more killing and bloodshed because of ignorant misunderstanding. It's all about Abrahamic religion. If you think not then imagine for a moment that Netanyahu decides the Israeli Embassy should be moved from DC and placed in Hollywood. He would have no reason to do so. What was Trump's reason?

My plan is to haver old Charlie die for me. He doesn't like the idea but his family is helping me because I'm gonna pay them. They want the money. Religious people tell me it's not possible for old Charlie to die for my sins. OK. What about Jesus dying for yours?

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

You can do this. I haven't smoked now in 18 years. I tried twice before and didn't make it. You have to really want to quit. A non smoking buddy is good but know this also -- you cannot hang around with all your old smoking friends and become a non smoker. That doesn't work and they will not want you to succeed even if they say they are all for you. They would not want you to succeed at something they cannot do. I was a 2 pack a day smoker.

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

My grandparents were Jehovah Witness but my mom got out of that early on. My stepdad was Southern Baptist and he and mom ended up Pentecostal, so my first church experiences were "full gospel." I lived with my grandparents before that but they never attended meetings.

The goal of any fundamentalist religion always has and always will be total control of females.

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

That does seem to be a pattern. I think the women want to do right by their families and honestly think the buybull is a "good book." The preachers keep pushing that idea also and the women think they have well being of their families in mind.

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

I see your point. Social media is so strong within most of us that we would give up the real relationship just to have one in social media. This often appears to be true., maybe because the real relationship is the hard one. It's easy to be Facebook friends. Harder to be real time lovers.

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

You won't believe this. I'm surprised that I did even when I was gullible and studying the buybull. Moses was taken and buried secretly by God. This means that we know someone else wrote about what happened after Moses died. Yep, somebody else finished the book. That's what the Evangelicals believe and they tell you the story with a straight face. Imagine. "Hey, Charlie. Didn't Moses wander off somewhere and die? Yep, he sure did. Well where's that book he was working on. God wants that finished ASAP so I guess I'll do it. Gotta get that book to the people."

DenoPenno comments on May 17, 2018:

I agree with you but the problem is that the GOP refuses to deal with this or to even face it. The absolute latest is that there is no collusion, and even if there was, there is just nothing anyone can do about it. Apparently there is no prosecution for the president as he is just untouchable, so Mueller had better just give up and go away. Let's get serious here people. This special part of out government was added just to be able to deal with things like this. Trying to call it "illegal" now is really dumb. Some of it worked in the past but they want to play games and say it doesn't work today and will not work with Trump. Why? So many of us want to know why. Is it because he will refuse to leave?

People can site "brain differences" all they want to. My take on the differences between the sexes comes from things like 2 types of dolls as children -- i. e. Barbie and G. I. Joe, and other such differences taught to children early on. If G. I. Joe had makeup you would find a lot more men today wanting to wear makeup. Things like this change as the years go by but similar concepts are responsible for lots of differences between the 2 sexes.

It's so odd that the Trump supporters pass off the US Embassy in Jerusalem as something that no other president would bring himself to do, so they think Trump is brave. I see the whole mess differently. Americans wanted Israel to become a nation because of Christianity and what their fairy storybook said about Israel. To me it was that simple regardless of long drawn out historical blabbing. Now Arabs and the Palestinians could be a nation also if the proved they "were good boys" and that they deserved it. How could Jerusalem be a capitol? Things in that city are sacred to both sides. How could anyone share? Trump started a hornet's nest worse than before. Israel might be happy but the Middle East is now going to see more bloodshed and America has a few more enemies. Leave it to Dolt45.

Exactly correct. On the news this morning ABC 30 had Pence report that Melania was operated on for a benign kidney condtion and was doing fine. Trump was apparently so outraged with the media that he had his Veep make the announcement. Where was this wonderful husband, Donald Trump? Why did his Christian VP who cannot even be alone with other women make the announcement that only the president should make? These bastards are totally astounding!

We can talk about it until we are in the face, it's not going to change anyg.

DenoPenno comments on May 15, 2018:

Shut this POS down is correct. The problem is that the Dems cannot get it together. It's almost the same problem they had when Hillary was running for president. I would vote for Bernie but is he going to run? Even so, Trump would smear him with socialism, communism, and god knows what. The white supremacist crowd will claim they are the true patriots and we end up with Trumpsky again. 2020 will be much like 2018. The best we can hope for is a better balance of power so we at least have a voice and possibly can change some of this totally ignorant legislation. Then we could wait on an act of an imaginary being if you like.

What the fuck kind of doublek insanity is this?

DenoPenno comments on May 15, 2018:

This tweet came out after the WH leak saying John McCain's opinion did not matter because he would be dying soon. There is still no apology for that remark and you can see by this bigly tweet that Trump went off the deep end, as usual. ABC news 30 this morning (a Sinclair Group station) simply said that Trump tweeted "media leakers, traitors, and cowards were trying to make them look bad and they would find out who they are." Notice the merger and clean up of the tweet. Channel 30 then said that the WH leaker had been dealt with but gave no specific details. There is still no apology for statements about John McCain and probably never will be.

That is exactly why he pulled out of the Iran deal and almost anybody following knows this.

I'm starting to think I can watch these things closely and maybe make some money myself. We do not have a president. We have a stock market manipulator.

He's not who the majority of us want to be president.

One big problem here is the people that continue to make excuses for Trump. Just this morning on another site a man told me that Trump is really not racist, white supremacist, misogynistic, or any other bad thing you have heard about him at all. It's just that he uses these things (including making fun of a crippled reporter) just to get to you. What? Just to get to you! OK. Now tell me that the mass shooter is not a murderer. That's the mentality of idiots who keep silently making excuses for and therefore supporting this Orange Asshat. Goodbye, Trump. The sooner the better and by any means necessary.

So now Hillary and Obama have a lack of success. Amazing! It means that the Orange dotard is the mental giant in foreign affairs.

It is so easy to hate. I hate Trump who takes away all of our benefits.

He's not who the majority of us want to be president.

DenoPenno comments on May 13, 2018:

Until there is a balance of power we will all have to suffer this moron just as we are doing now. Much of this is because the GOP doesn't want to call him on issues, ignorant statements, and false logic. Once we have a balance of power it will slowly change. One example will be that Trump cannot call "fake news" on our trusted media of many years. He might continue to do so but nobody will believe him.

Why are we here?

DenoPenno comments on May 13, 2018:

We are here because we were born. The sad thing is that so many think it must be much more complicated so they start making things up. This way they will present themselves as the person with all the answers when you talk to them.

Favorite Author? Just one!

Mark Twain. There are many other and some more modern, but Mark Twain made the biggest impression on me as a young person.

Thought of something while running errands today.

I'm with you. I don't think girls should be in the Boy Scouts. That's why they had the Girl Scouts. If it all became "Scouts of America" that would solve the problem. As for "Men Working" how about "People Working?" That should solve the problem. I used to infuriate my mother a few years ago. She liked the TV program "Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman." I told mom that due to political correctness the title was being changed. It would now be called "Doctor Quinn, Medicine Person."

DenoPenno comments on May 13, 2018:

I'm pretty well self taught. My military GT score was high (General Technical) but I have no idea of my IQ. In earlier days I was the "preacher man" who used all those big words. Today despite coming close to 2 years college with just a test, I give myself away with word usage. Is it a or an, their or there, and so on. Is it condescending that people have no interest in you because you have no college education? These days people have no interest in you unless you fit their needs at that very moment. The result (at least to me) is that we are creating many new liars today. Welcome to reality. I work with a man that is not on Facebook. Yet, he is on Facebook and the account is active. This facade can be carried right on into our Trump era government if you follow it.

With 2 trillion galaxies in the KNOWN universe, just how many Gods would that make out there?

Of course. Health care is of this world only and if you deny it people might be gathering as spirits for that other world more quickly and we will be filling up this vast universe with our family of spirit beings. Oh, praise whatever his name is! It makes perfect sense to me unless you just want to start shooting people. The NRA likes that last one.

Why would a white woman in Oakland,CA, waste the time of the 911 emergency ops over a non-life and ...

DenoPenno comments on May 12, 2018:

I saw that video and the woman has to have problems and be disturbed. People disagreed with her during the call but she was insistent. At the end when the cops were there and had her off to the side she appeared to be coming apart as the video ended. It was like "this didn't go my way like I wanted it to so now I'm gonna cry." This is racism, plain and simple. My take on it all is that people had a "secret fear" of Obama. That in itself was (and is) racism. With 8 years of Obama many poor whites felt disenfranchised in some way. Trump comes along and makes these poor whites feel good again and they are better than any black person. White supremacists and racists are at the bottom of his support base. In the case of this white woman she feels insecure so she makes the 911 call about a black family grilling with a gas grill in the park. Nobody bought her nonsense but they had to investigate. Now I'm back to the end of the video when the cops had her pulled to the side and she starts to come apart. "This didn't go my way like I wanted it to so now I'm gonna cry." Oh, the poor baby! Shut her up or lock her up.

How does the Ridiculous fool and his merry band of idiots have any supporters?

DenoPenno comments on May 12, 2018:

He is a ridiculous fool. So are his merry band of idiots. My guess is that most of his common supporters are not political really and don't give a crap about anything so they go along with it out of fun. They also feel that they have a voice again with Trump around. I'd like to hear a bunch of them talk to people in Kentucky and ask them how that coal mining is going now. Maybe Hillary wouldn't let him keep that promise.
