I think that by signing this bill, our saviour president officially gave up. He realised just how corrupt both parties are, how disgustingly deep the swamp is, and he said, "that's it for me.

This is not Watergate and nobody broke into anything. I'm sure they had the proper papers and warrants. It's just that they showed up unannounced. Trump also claimed the Democrats did this and last I checked Mueller is a Republican.

I disagree with you only in so much as what the bible said about Jesus' looks. That verse about ebony and hair like lamb's wool comes out of the OT.

They are making up a story because they think their bible is one continuous and compatible history. It certainly is not.

@TheMiddleWay Is there a claim that these other gods created everything? If not there are no worries. If the other gods did create all that is we then appear to have regional and tribal gods. How could you believe in them? No scientist believes in a regional tribal god. It just is not logical.
I contend that the Christian god is also a regional tribal god and that without the book of Genesis to explain "sin" there is no reason for Jesus whatsoever. It makes the bible just a collection of flawed stories. Christianity survives because of a talking snake and belief in one helps many to explain the death of Jesus. He had a lot of blood. His blood saved the entire world :)

@Angelface Trump now has the help of Sinclair Media Group to add his take of things into their daily news programs. I was watching ABC 30 in my area recently when something was aired that is not true at all. It was just words of Trump and what he wants you to believe. Later I found this TV station to be a part of Sinclair Media.

True or False: How we think is determined by the mind, not how things really are.
JimG comments on Apr 4, 2018:
I don't think this is false or entirely true.
I hate to seem indecisive, but I believe you've presented a false dichotomy.
In my opinion, how we think is determined very loosely by the mind and influenced by our experience, education, and reality.

I was going to give my opinion but I'll go with yours after reading it. I agree with you. I'm able at this stage of my life to see back into what I might have thought before. My thoughts and opinions have changed and might keep on changing as time goes by. This is proof for me that how things really are is not constant.

To start with anybody can be a Pentecostal preacher. Even so, theology school has nothing to teach you that can be known as fact. Religion is simply framed around facts and not a fact itself. It's all made up. For example, do you believe that a man was caught up into heaven? How about a man who flew to heaven on a winged horse? Then we have a man raised from the dead?
DenoPenno comments on Mar 21, 2018:
You are lucky. I've went from precher to atheist and it confused my daughters but they were confused anyway. My stepfather once told me "you are going to split hell wide open" as if this place called hell was something that you dive into.
I still have a former religious friend who always finds ...
DenoPenno replies on Mar 21, 2018:
To start with anybody can be a Pentecostal preacher. Even so, theology school has nothing to teach you that can be known as fact. Religion is simply framed around facts and not a fact itself. It's all made up. For example, do you believe that a man was caught up into heaven? How about a man who flew to heaven on a winged horse? Then we have a man raised from the dead?

I've never met an African atheist in my life.

There are a few. They try to teach logic in certain schools in Nigeria and Zambia. I have seen posting in Atheist Nexus about them and one reports to us yearly there.

What is the bible to you?
DenoPenno comments on Mar 21, 2018:
The bible is a collection of stories by different authors from different times and it tells many different stories. Some versions of it have 66 books and others have more. There are no original writngs today of any of the versions. Everything is a copy to the extent that today we have no evidence ...

Monogamy
DenoPenno comments on Mar 19, 2018:
I believe in monogamy. My problem is that in most cases that lasts about 12 years or so. There is something that comes along at about the 12 years together span that makes one of us want to go a different way. It isn't always another person either. I'm still trying to figure it out.

@ashortbeauty In LTR's 4 times all were married except one. Even so, we lived as married and told others that we were.

So.
DenoPenno comments on Mar 14, 2018:
It's worse than this with the Christian comments. They believe so strongly by "faith" but have never read any of their doctrines. According to scripture nobody dies and instantly goes anywhere. There is no instant heaven and hell. It's just not there and neither is the Devil. Again, according to ...

@Lewellyn3 In our objective world there is no heaven or hell. Subjectively you can believe anything that you want.

Phone addiction?
DenoPenno comments on Mar 18, 2018:
If you mean on the phone as in talking I find that almost nobody does that any longer. What they do is text to death, thumb through everything constantly, smile and walk around looking down at a hand held phone as if it was a part of their body. Businesses tell employees not to do this, then the ...
