Christians Against Christian Nationalism Please read and if you find the information is accurate,...

DenoPenno comments on Feb 26, 2022:

Christian Nationalism is Christian Dictatorship.

Lets see where the agnostic/atheist community stands.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 26, 2022:

I stand with the Ukrainians and all free people of our world. That does not mean American should go to war over this. Right now a few Russians are demonstrating and being reminded that it is treason to do so. The former Russian president lets it be known that he stands with Putin. The West is lying. Media there is very silent on this issue. Inside the Ukraine we are told that Putin's forces are advancing on the capital. The Ukrainian president is telling everyone he stands with his people. 100,000 or more have left for Poland and other areas. Video shows that the streets themselves either has lots of confused people or in some areas very little people. Video shows apartments and other building partially destroyed but Putin claims he is not targeting civilians. Putin claims his actions are against a traitorist faction in the Donbass area only. They seem to be so much up to no good that the Army had to be called in. He said a similar thing in 2014 but was not believed. My opinion is that Putin wants to take back all of the old Russian empire and stop Democracy from spreading. Most of the world shares that idea. At present between 198 and 250 locals have been killed in the capital. Video shows that 200 miles away nothing is much happening. I have the privilege of watching news and video from all over the world. Not everyone has that. Sean Penn has announced that he is going to the Ukraine to make a documentary. His choice. I would stay away. He may not come back as this escalates. All sorts of sanctions are being applied to Putin and the Russian oligarchs. None of this looks good because we might soon find ourselves unable to get into our bank accounts. Russia will fight back in many cyber attacks. This can lead to food shortages along with higher gas and oil prices. Unless this ends quickly we are all in for a horrible ride. The Lincoln Project posted a very good video on it in the Russian language. It is called "OLd Man" and it asks outright what the Russian people will think when their young men return in body bags all to please Putin the older man. I would paste it here now but my copy and paste is not working. If you have access to You Tube look for the Lincoln Project videos there.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 26, 2022:

I always find it illogical and ironic that a god created humans and then tried to kill most of them. They were flawed and this was his way of correcting that flaw. The next move was to come to earth as his own son so that he could be killed and if we believed in him then we could live with him forever and sing about him. Becoming robots in a death cult has corrected the flaw.

How to help Ukraine [youtu.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 26, 2022:

I view what is happening as a crime against humanity. This means that the entire situation there is shameful, however I will not be praying. I'm also not likely to be sending money to any bank. If the situation in the Ukraine does not improve we might all see our banking under cyber attack. I must admit she is very well informed.

Ever feel ashamed of not believing?

Why would I feel ashamed for not believing? Maybe a child would if you talked them into it.

Once they got you believing You need fixing They got you right were they need you

DenoPenno comments on Feb 25, 2022:

This is so very true. God created you but he created you with a flaw. To fix that god had to kill his son so that you would accept him and let him into your heart. It also explains why Jesus died. This is what religion is about. You need fixing.

I see that the old.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 25, 2022:

I see it as religion being invented to supply answers when we had no answers. God belief of some sort explained everything. The argument then became "my god is better than your god." Science and reason came along and the religious went back and forth with them on which one was right. I found this hilarious because Evangelicals all used the dating system of the Catholics but claimed Catholics were wrong at the same time. Various explanations of the 7 day creation follows this, and it still does. I take politics as simply a way of winning elections, but in American Ronald Reagan said let believers into the GOP. Today we have the biggest bunch of stupidity that you ever saw. Our system is totally laughable. Now 17 percent of Americans believe in Q. One Congresswoman thinks the California fires were started by giant Jewish space lasers. I know a man who thinks Trump was actually our 19th president but his story on how that worked is all bullshit. When was he sworn in? It is not so much that religion is a crime belief, but that religion has become a crime belief. In the beginning religion wanted answers when there were no answers. Then they made it all up and continue to make it all up today. Even as it gets more absurd they continue to believe that they are right. Somehow they have the answers that are right, but it is all a crock.

Christian lawmaker resigns after sharing "objectifying" pics of female aide

DenoPenno comments on Feb 24, 2022:

Religion is not a watchdog. Everyone is fascinated with the mechanics of how we got here. I like porn pics too but have no suggestive sexual remarks to go along with any of them. We live in an age where this is the trophy that everyone wants. Only an oddball does not have this. People I know do not show up in sexual pics on my computer.

Oshkosh Bygosh! This goes in with the American ego because everyone wants big gas guzzling vehicles. We were not behind Al Gore who only seems to have come up with a solution where you could pay him and his buddies to pollute more and you could earn a pollution credit. (That works for the rich.) I could be more popular at my job if I told stories of that hotrod I was building but I have no such plans. As an ideal it should have tires as tall as you are and it makes lots of noise. You climb up into it with a ladder. This seems to be the American way.

Colombia Decriminalizes Abortion, Bolstering Trend Across Region

I read this and what stands out fully to me is your last sentence. I ask it in my head also. What the fuck is wrong with us, America? Abortion is not a form of birth control. We have gotten so stupid that some areas are wanting to have a funeral for a miscarriage. All of this because men want control of a woman's body.

Letters From An American 02/23/2022

DenoPenno comments on Feb 24, 2022:

This will effect all of us in one way or another for a very long time. As for democracy, let it be understood that democracy is an experiment. An ideal in which everyone has an equal opportunity. Some governments do not allow this and the experiment is ongoing in America, boosted largely by FDR as many changes came to us. Putin is wrong here, but he thinks he is right. He wants territory back that the old Soviet Union had before. He wants nothing to do with NATO. Many are going to die if this all continues. Sanctions against Russia is about the only thing we can do outside of all out war. We do not need or want all out war. It would destroy everything. Who would win if we had a war with Russia? Name a country or nation or province that would be better off after nukes are used.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 23, 2022:

The only way I can agree with you here is in the fact that I was studying to be a minister and that study did have me looking at other religions. I studied too much. My kid's mother said once that she knew I would end up a non-believer when I studied the Dead Sea scrolls. Apparently there are only certain religious writings that the faithful believe you should study. Today both my daughters and their mother sort of "believe in their own way." I ended up atheist and they took the route of most of the religious claiming people in our world today. This type of reasoning is exactly why we have so many religions.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 23, 2022:

Religious belief may have criminality but it is not rooted in that. Religious belief in my opinion was originally rooted in fear and a need to explain the unknown. What you are asking for will not be explained or studied by science because science does not give a damn about religions. Some special branch of science may touch upon this and I'm sure that apologetics will go there, but I avoid apologists.

Trump is a lying con man and grifter. He has that knack of making his supporters believe that he likes and hates the same things they do.

A majority of Americans are no longer 100% confident in God's existence

DenoPenno comments on Feb 22, 2022:

A poll will tell you nonsense like this. The truth is people all believe in a god but believe in him their own way. This is why we have so many denominations and so much god belief. Years ago in my church dayz a man with a heart problem wanted the church to go with the idea that he had died in prayer but everyone prayed so hard that he came back to life. The church did not see it that way so this man went on to another church. We all know that he then lied about his resurrection. This is what happens when you believe in the invisible man and want to be important. (Hey, Jesus. I was resurrected too.)

Is it possible this Ukraine gambit by Putin is meant to distract us from Trump's problems here?

DenoPenno comments on Feb 22, 2022:

I doubt this has anything to do with Trump and Trump is not that important. What this is about is Putin taking back all the territory that was once belonging to Russia. In doing this he makes a positive anti-NATO statement to the rest of the world and the ongoing action will end up costing all of us more for oil and gas. If Putin wins our sanctions mean very little. BTW, I see that RT is not available right now. Only the documentary part of that channel. I browsed last night and found this to be true all over the world. RT (the Russian answer to CNN) is currently on hold.

Putin Wants the Legitimacy of Ukraine and Russia's Shared Past

DenoPenno comments on Feb 21, 2022:

I see this but there is something in Ukraine that Putin wants. He also does not want them to ever be a part of NATO which was formed after WW2. He wants Ukraine back and a guarantee they will never be a part of NATO so I suppose going backwards in time is working for him. I do not and cannot see why America should have troops on the ground over there. We have been through this crap in other countries before and it never turns out well. In effect Putin is holding us and the rest of the free world hostage and we will be paying higher prices for gas and oil in the end. Sending in troops will not change any of this for the better. Shout out what Putin is doing loudly to the rooftops so that everyone knows, but do not send American troops.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 21, 2022:

This is exactly so because in a civil case truth has to come forward and there is no fifth to take. What this does is open doors for a judicial trial later if needed. Many think that the civil trial has to be second but this is not so. When my grandson was murdered my family was told to pursue this as a civil case first simply because people refused to prosecute. My children did not see the logic of this so nothing got done at all. The killer admitted the murder but had claimed self defense. He was also an informer for the prosecutor.

Who would do this to a child?

Jesus had nothing to do with memes except in our world today. Was he the son of man? If he existed at all I expect the gospels giving genealogy for him means that he had normal parents like everyone else. There is your son of man. As for the son of god, this came along when they had to explain his death. Jesus took on a whole new identity and meaning.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 20, 2022:

Too many movements listed here. Keep in mind that "democracy" is an ideal that came about in our system through FDR. Democracy as we know it has little to do with other nations regardless of a desire to base everything now going on in the world as somehow connected to Dems and the GOP. This idea is false. Fascism on the world stage is also changing and has little to do with past trends that people continually write about. Reading all of it with a "history repeats itself" outlook is actually a distraction. Simple facts are that "Q" in American viewpoint is adding to that distraction. With the Internet this allows so much nonsense that it is not even funny. The truth in my opinion is that many American businesses believe that Fascism would not hinder their business and might even help it. This is why they give large sums to those who support it, Trump being one. His actions said one thing as his mouth said another. FDR was a weakling and he had polio. Why would we help anyone who has nothing? Wanting your business means we want your money and we are developing new ways of getting it. This is my view as an American and my spin on current Fascism. I have not added China, Putin, or others politically because talking all of this is yet but another distraction. How will things turn out and what will others do? Flip a coin but be aware that media will continue with their spin because it is what they do. They fuel the fire and you have to see which way the wind is coming from.

Freethinkers = deists?

DenoPenno comments on Feb 18, 2022:

I do not know if there is a solution but I find both sides calling the other one names that seem to fit the one doing the talking. I find it strange the GOP activists now claim that all these Dems are going down and going to prison. They want you to send them money to get this all rolling. That sounds like Trump and friends in all of this "Trump Won" nonsense. How do you fix stupid? Both sides have it now. I'm a Progressive that was once a Republican. Listening at times to Dan Bongino on talk radio, I caught him talking of diaper wearing and Dems who wear diapers and have "poopy drawers." I knew right away why he was never elected to office. Then he makes some bad remarks on Canada, Trudeau, and how some people think truck drivers are "Nazis or Fascists." I thought they were simply people involved in commerce and getting the goods delivered to us. Then these people (who are not racist in any way) harp about BLM and all their "crimes" and tell you Antifa is a group equally as bad. To my knowledge Antifa is not what the right is saying it is. Just recently someone again asked me how are we going to pay for all this infrastucture and and healthcare for all that so many are wanting. The answer is very simple. Taxation and a few adjustments seems to work fine in other countries. America is not moving forward in a positive way and we will never be the same again. Any way you look at it this is all about money.

Reasons why might be that one grandson was murdered and they want to see him again. I even have a granddaughter that believes angels exist and they have wings like a bird. If she finds a feather she thinks her brother is watching her. (Hello. Try the fact that birds were around and lost a feather.) These are some of the ignorant reasons that religion continues and let me add that my family is not super religious and my granddaughter has been to the state prison twice. Drugs and their active use also seem to help those with these beliefs. My 2 daughters are the only ones in this bunch who do not use drugs.

Interesting but keep in mind that the moon has reflected light. This will make a difference on many things. Glennlab's pic from Appolo 11 is good. Moon orbit is slow and will be a factor with the sun's lighting.

Well, Spanky. I'm afraid that I do have to agree with you. Your accurate remarks reminded me of the time that a former girlfriend told me a certain president had her best interests in mind. Amazing what people are happy to believe.

How would Trump testify? He would simply keep changing the subject of the question. This has been known for some time and is a big reason he was never allowed to testify before.

Gene Pitney was a big hit when I was in the Army. Later they tried to get his career going in other directions but it did not take and he faded away.

An interesting story. Are the Trumps involved in this one and would the supporters get it?

HOLY SHIT!!! Tamara Lich, one of the idiots who organized the Freedom Convoy has been arrested!!!...

DenoPenno comments on Feb 18, 2022:

In the video I saw she was willingly arrested and Chris Barber is heard saying "you gotta take me too." Later she is tearful but I think they are both proud. Let me state openly that any convoy of protest that holds up regular traffic and normal delivery of food and other goods locally can expect this to happen without fail. In other words, your protest cannot legally stop delivery of any public goods and services and be regarded legal protest when you simply are drawing attention to yourself. You cannot protest a car dealership, for example, and also stop others from going in and out of the dealership at the same time. Protest is legal while the hinderance of traffic is not.

Texas Christian school officials arrested after 'concealing locker room assault' [bbc.]

My take on this is that the school was going to fix it themselves but only after telling the cops to get warrants. Hazing is now illegal so in the end nobody did anything about the assault.

It should not be hard to prove or disprove a "false accusation." The trick is that it should involve some real evidence.

New to social media. Do you get a notice if you been blocked by someone?

DenoPenno comments on Feb 17, 2022:

Probably no notice. I seem to have been blocked by right wing Republicans who are trying their best to come up with bad Dems who are soon going to be prosecuted. An Internet check on these things show the bad eggs going down for crime are GOP. They do not like my remarks about people being bodyslammed for asking about healthcare. If I try to respond to their group now it simply says there is no group. The poor cowards!

I don't find it lonely at all but I suppose some people do and for those people there is church.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 17, 2022:

Sometimes I wish I lived closer to events that might interest me. Instead of attending any of them I simply work my short hours and come home to be my reclusive self. I would recommend Jerry DeWitt and Dan Barker to anyone. They might know of events in your area. Look them up online or simply visit FFRF omline.

This is interesting. I look back and cannot remember my 21st birthday at all. It either means I do not want to remember or I cannot remember.

Definition: "Theophagy" The sacrimental eating of a god, typically in the form of an animal, image,...

DenoPenno comments on Feb 16, 2022:

I find the eating of body parts of animals and humans so as to take on some attributes of them to be very ancient. This brings up the question of "did Jesus believe it" when he wanted you to eat his flesh and drink his blood. The obvious answer shows you how flawed Christianity really is.

My opinion of some folks plummeted.

It gets a lot worse if you listen to Bongino and others on the radio. Everything is about validation through distraction.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 16, 2022:

What needs to be validated here is whether the bank cashs any checks from this local employer at all. If they do and this man has an account at the bank it means he was racially profiled. There is no other way to view this.

The funny thing here is why would anyone ever think the symbol for Jesus would be a cross, or Jesus on a cross worn around someone's neck.
