What bothers me most of all, and what I have the most problems with is keeping my mouth shut. I have one friend who, and I'm not joking, ordered a "Spirit Box".

DenoPenno replies on Jun 17, 2018:

There was a time I used to believe in all that shit too. What cured me is that gods and all types of phenomena are supernatural. Nothing is supernatural. It means it's fake and there are many things you do not understand. OK, you say radio waves are invisible. So is daylight but it doesn't bring spirits or ghosties.

I would struggle with those facts too in my small community of 1200 or so. The truth is that they brought it on themselves by spending all their money on meth.

Then these people all run around talking and lying to each other. I stay mostly in seclusion.

All that needs to be done here is talk to the 16 year old about what happened when he used the iron as he did. Make sure he understands so he will not be constantly doing this. Once you replace the iron, maybe give him the old one for his future projects.

I even have a religious friend who told me god is good to me because I do not hate. She saw this. I did not tell her anything. I also do not believe in her god.

And the church world goes on with this nonsense to this very day. The "fruit of the tree" even became oral sex at one point, but I doubt that would have killed them. God works in hysterical ways but without this nonsense there would be no need at all of Jesus. They had to explain why he got crucified and work out a plan of restoration. Another way would just be for god to have changed his mind. Instead, this nutty Jesus stuff explained the "removing of the curse" that was put upon mankind.

The Culture Behind School Shootings

JeezumsCripes comments on May 30, 2018:

Malcolm Gladwell put forward an interesting hypothesis that school shootings inspire copycat behavior, and that the mass shooting at Columbine was ground zero for the phenomenon. I thought it was an interesting take on the issue, and seemed intellectually sound.

DenoPenno replies on May 30, 2018:

I agree, and it seems to be a game like mindset here. The next shooter will try to get more kids killed than the last one did. Kind of like the "knockout game" that went around for a while. Also note that someone tried to market a real game for this called "the active shooter." Another thing I consider in these shootings is a lack of values. I'm not talking god and religion. I'm talking about how everything changed when parents could no longer discipline their children. No one cares enough to do so today.

When the song "Sweet Soul Music" by Arthur Conley was popular my best friend and I would cruise around in a car drinking beer and talking. On several occasions we would instantly start singing the song and turn on the radio at the same time. There it is - "do you like good music, yeah, yeah." It was as if we knew it was playing just then. The connection here was uncanny.

Having people over

DenoPenno comments on May 25, 2018:

I seldom have people over, period. I'm a private person and you do not need to see my stuff. Anyone should beware of the parent and child at your door wanting to use the restroom. (Oh, the little girl has to go so bad.) Anyone should beware the person at you door wanting a drink of water. You are ...

Prayer in US schools? It IS allowed, just not enforced.

BSquared comments on May 24, 2018:

Prayer in school has never been banned. Students are free to pray privately or silently if they desire. Most schools allow for a moment of silence each day in order for students to do what they desire ie. pray, meditate, reflect, or whatever as long as it is done in silence.The U.S.S.C.'s decision. ...

DenoPenno replies on May 25, 2018:

It is strange because BSquared is exactly correct and my own children believe that prayer is banned in our public schools. Religion is part of the reason for the ignorance here. Others that simply want to believe it their way is another.

Did something bad that happened to you as a child turn you away from religion

Emerald comments on May 23, 2018:

Not childhood, but my nephew's murder pushed me from agnostic to atheist. So many incipient comments about how "things happen for a reason." Just no. There is nothing divine or preordained about it. The only logical conclusion is that there is no plan, and therefore, no divinity.

DenoPenno replies on May 24, 2018:

Sorry for your loss. My grandson was murdered and my daughter still tells me "she believes in her own way." That was the problem with religion in the first place. That's why we have so many denominations everywhere. Gods are imaginary.

When is no evidence, evidence?

PraiseXenu comments on May 22, 2018:

No. No evidence is simply no evidence. It doesn't prove anything positive or negative. Ask yourself this ... how could you go about proving the non-existence of something? Now, how could you do it without any evidence?

DenoPenno replies on May 22, 2018:

I don't prove the non-existence of anything and it simply cannot be done anyway. Things that do not exist tend to prove themselves as not existing.

When is no evidence, evidence?

KKGator comments on May 22, 2018:

I am so sick of this question. Atheism does NOT "need" evidence. Atheism is believing that no gods exist. Period. There is NOTHING that proves that they do. Therefore, atheism is a perfectly rational position to take. If anyone wants to say that gods exist, the burden of proof is on THEM.

DenoPenno replies on May 19, 2018:

All of us still need to vote. It's the only way. As I see it now we still have a great hope of balancing everything in November. For those who expected Dems to totally regain control would be them wanting to bully and ignore just as the hypocritical GOP does now. Remember that the GOP had control during the 8 years of Obama. All we need in November is enough to balance things and we can start turning the tables. Anything close to 50/50 would work.

@Renickulous Statistics do not back up your last sentence on crime rates and I'm certainly not wanting to argue of debate with you. Maybe we should just let children and innocent people be killed. People all have to die of something. You might say that one of my biggest arguments is that guns are way too easy to get and that guns do not belong in schools.

I was until I heard the song about send them back to Africa by Johnny Cash.

DenoPenno replies on May 17, 2018:

Most likely that song was by Johnny Rebel (aka Clifford Trahan) who did the most racist songs imaginable in his day. The Internet has his name confused songwise with David Allen Coe as well as Johnny Cash. This often includes using their pictures as well. Neither Cash nor Coe did the kind of trash that Johnny Rebel did.

DenoPenno replies on May 15, 2018:

@MikeFlora My common assumption was that to vote Trump out you would most likely have to have a qualified Dem to vote in. My remark is made because Libertarians and Independents just never get elected. You can hold out for impeachment if you like, but this would not get rid of Trump. Even if it did, you are stuck with Mike Pence. As voting goes, I know of no other ways to get rid of Trump.
