I've said it a thousand times. People today get paid for views, clicks, and likes online. They attract a crowd and start selling T-shirts or something. They gather some followers and people believe them because if it was not true there would be no followers. Seems logical enough. Then the horror stories start pouring in and the gullible believe all of it. **I'm saying that your source does not come from any credited media.** After all, if Trump can get lots of money by claiming the election was stolen from him then other opinions on anything can suddenly become true.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 2, 2023:

This is a step forward but I find people in general from the religious world haste the JW's. Everyone claims it is the door knocking. I see it differently. * They do not believe in a soul and claim when you are dead you are dead. * They have only 144,000 going to heaven. * The resurrected dead will live on a new Earth coming out of the ashes of the old. Church believers want to have a soul, something their god gave them, and it can fly around instantly once separated from the body at death. If you love your god and follow his teachings you can see your loved ones in heaven, but this is not in the bible. Singing god's praises forever and ever is in the bible. Those nasty JW's. They are taking away from your beliefs and want to change them. Ask a Pentecostal or a Baptist. They know. :)

Beaten by cops for a traffic violation - then you die. It seems this is the way for fascists to retain power in America today. The rebellion is not in people like the late Tyre Nichols. It is in those wanting to retain power. Police departments, state governments, et al. Let's not let it spread all over America. We must stop this before it gets embedded into our nations government.

Look what one of my apps has just reported: online stalking. Does it happen to you?

DenoPenno comments on Feb 2, 2023:

My browser has AdBlocker Ultimate and I avoid lots of nonsense that way. I'm not worried about which companies are stalking me because all of them do that now. They either want to sell you something or get your business somehow. Others might want to give you a virus. It's not likely you would find where they are and go throw rocks at them for this, so I just let my programs take care of things. Avast is a good free antivirus. Avira Free Security Suite is another. I hate Cortana, the spy, and have ripped her out of my systems on all 3 of my desktop computers. I have also destroyed Windows Defender because that it what it does. It defends Windows and Microsoft. Windows Update is total nonsense that needs to be turned off most of the time. I have a program that does that with one click. You have to watch Microsoft because every 180 days they want to sneak in with the "best Windows program ever" for you. To me this means that you just get things working like you want them and they step in to show you they are the boss. F.U., Charlie. I'm running your operating system the way I want to. Go away and leave me alone. I don't want to restart my computer and have their big surprise screw up my programs. You can get outside programs to cover so many things. Sordum.org has a few of these. I run everything as admin but this is not the highest title you can have. Sordum has a program that gives you the rights of the Windows "trusted installer."

DenoPenno comments on Jan 31, 2023:

I have a killer point to silence the other side. Constantine arranged for the 66 smaller books we know as our bible to be put into book form complete with beginning and end, and this happened some 300 plus years after the time of Jesus. This is a fact. To add variables you have to go into ancient Jewish writings that had nothing to do with Christianity as we know it today. People put so much stock into "the truth of Revelation" but that book barely made it into the known canon. Believers hold onto what Jesus was said to believe from the OT but Christians forget that Jesus was a Jew. People can argue this back and forth if they want to but it proves nothing. Jewish people do not even see the OT writings in the same context that modern Christians do. Once I make this all known I refuse to argue the point. The "what ifs" or let's suppose" and "maybe" about it are all pointless. Either that or others are filling in points around things I've written above.

DenoPenno comments on Jan 29, 2023:

Morality comes from the structure of the society that you live in. If it is OK to poke another person in the eye with a stick then you will find this going on. Morality evolves with passage of time. As for FGM, I find this more horrifying than circumcision. It has more health risks and can even be life threatening. Modern ideas on circumcision (some even promoted by Kellogg) is that it prevents smegma buildup and will also stop a male child from jacking off. This is total nonsense. As for FGM, it has been know to even kill the victim. The purpose is to take away all sexual desire so the victim gets no pleasure from sex and is only a tool for the husband. I take this as a crime. If I were female and this was done to me I think I would contemplate the idea of killing the ones who did the operation.

DenoPenno comments on Jan 29, 2023:

I think we are all born predisposed to knowing what everything is. We are learning from day one but want to know what everything is and where we came from. We strive for this and many fall in with others who say they found it in some ancient book. Your entire existence is exposed and planned out by some mystical being and for some reason people who go this route think that ancient humans had to know more than we do now, so they accept it as truth. This is quite a step from the blank slate that we started with. The fact that all of us have different experiences along the way is also proof that there is really no free will that so many talk about. This is because we are not the same and our experiences are not the same. One person at the end of their rope does not hold true for all of us. Whether you are religious or not examine your belief system and you will see how it has changed over time. Some call this growth.

They brought this on themselves and I hope they get what is coming to them for this outright murder. Along with that, they need to be sentenced in a way that does not give them less time simply because they were cops. They need the same time behind bars for murder that any citizen would get. Our culture seems to think cops are special even when they are no longer cops. These men should have never of been police in the first place.

I apply this to my life and the world at large but not so much with religion. As humans we are like this because we find some purpose in our past. It is very hard to remember what Tommy did in the future and you have no memories there until it arrives. People around me fall for the religious line because it is the only way they know to see dead relatives again. What about Ben Franklin? Will any of us know him or his group of friends in heaven? Maybe they are the ones living across the tracks. Another side of town.

Report: 188 Catholic clergy members in Kansas are alleged predators

DenoPenno comments on Jan 10, 2023:

If you check into all of this it's not just the Catholics. Sexual activity seems to be around in all religions and it often is about sexual abuse. Catholics come in more as buggers maybe because they fear it would be more wrong if priests were abusing young girls. It's the old "marriage is man and woman" thing and the priest is married to god. Protestants have men abusing boys too but mostly they go for little girls. Another thing that stands out to me on this is all of the people that want to be religious who somehow believe that "anal sex is not real sex." More of these around than you think. Not just the now dead Travis Alexander. What others miss here is the trauma that the victim goes through. Doing the act and then trying to hide the trauma is the great crime. Not against your mythical god but against humanity.

I have a former boss who's wife had a cyst in her ear. It was not that big and they said it would be a simple operation. Too much time went on and doctors made excuses. Finally they came out and said they had lost her. She was gone. We all know that vaccinations were involved before the operation. What was never found out is exactly why she had died. This was over 40 years ago.

What do we call a person who believes in pro-gun rights who's a democrat at heart?

This is a good question. I own 2 guns and one is a rifle I got from my stepdad. In no way are they registered and they never will be. I do not carry them around and believe that I should not do so. You might say I'm pro gun but politically I'm a Progressive. I do not waste my money on guns.

I've said this before and will now say it again. Spirituality can mean anything that you want it to mean. This is why I am not spiritual in any way.

Thanks for posting. My take on "hope" is not religious at all. I have no religious hope nor faith. With that said I do not recognize despair too much. I know we have it and go from one state to another mentally, but my take on hope is that I hope to not be in pain, not be hungry, and to continue with having all my bills paid. If I have a relationship I hope for it to be peaceful without arguing and for me and the lady to have and do things in common. I hope to not have stress and to avoid people and places that seem to stress you. Corporations today want to stress you to get all they can from you because they are paying some of us more. I've been known to say out loud "do not stress me" in a manner that calms the other party down and makes them take another approach. Stress is a killer. I have noticed in the news that more and more people of all ages are committing suicide. A lot more of these today are younger people. I blame it all on stress.

OK. I got 8 of them correct but it did not show me ones I missed. Maybe I did not look correctly.

Politics today is all about losing control. We have mountains of political lies because they do not want to lose control. Politicians do not care about you, only themselves.

Friendly Confusion

DenoPenno comments on Jan 7, 2023:

The best I can figure on this one is that cops read the license plate on the Gomez car and this gave them his name and the fact that he lived in Arkansas. Chances are that would have been a state trooper who then passed info on to our local cop at the scene. In our small area there would have been one trooper and one cop at the scene. Only a local cop would have told the Mobil attendant anything at all and included things like follow this man if you see him so we can arrest him. This puts citizens on alert for anyone with blood on them and wearing a teal shirt. Wrong move by a cop. There is no indication that Gomez was trying to hide or that he was ever arrested later according to the Sullivan Independent News. Car wrecks cause trauma and confusion.

You do sound very upset to me. Be aware that if you are right on many of these things there is not much you can do about it. I'm an activist but not a player of anything. I want what is best for all of us without exception.

DenoPenno comments on Jan 6, 2023:

I didn't vote because all of those listed are annoying. The problem is that there are so many more things believers say. They wonder why you haven't robbed a bank or killed somebody. If their god was real he could see right through this. They want a reward for being good.

Weed and Meditation: Can Being High Help Your Practice?

DenoPenno comments on Jan 5, 2023:

Pot may have some benefits along this line. I have memory problems and write things down daily. This is how I remember and I never give up on what I want or what I'm trying to do. This works for me. As for pot, I'm at a stage where all i have to do is breathe when I am around it. I will get as high as the smoker.

For those of you who are on Medicare, you should go to Medicare.

I'm sure that I am covered by Medicare. If not I will be covered by the VA.

My first time having a serious discussion with a Christian friend.

DenoPenno comments on Jan 5, 2023:

I'm glad for you. It took me a while also and I studied to be a minister. The simple facts are that there is zero evidence of gods of any kind. Gullible believers what to say that Christianity is the only true religion. It has to be the preacher who told them this. I'm not afraid of waking up in the wrong hell, or even the wrong heaven. Live your life and be happy. When we are dead we are dead. If must be sort of like it was before we were born.
