How Indoctrination Works: [quora.com]

DenoPenno comments on Apr 16, 2022:

Indoctrination works by repeating something enough times to where others start to believe in it. This worked for Hitler, Trump, Putin, Stalin, and many others. The Trump wall for example. I hear people say daily that we ought to build it. Apparently they have not studied enough about the land areas involved and how some of it would even be on Mexican land. Other areas are privately owned by our citizens, and some areas not suitable for a fence or wall. I keep on wondering what part of this people do not understand. "The Wall" is a talking point to get people involved so you can get money.

DenoPenno comments on Apr 16, 2022:

I agree with your every word here. Adding to it, people all around (and most of them Trumpers) are telling me that everything going on is fake and all happening to kill people off. What they are missing is that everything is very real and everyone else wants your money. The best way to get your money is not to kill you. It is to keep things going, keep you involved in it, and get you to buy something. Killing off old people does not get anyone the social security or Medicare money.

This reminds me of the latest I got at work from Rick who comes in to buy auto parts from time to time. Rick tells me that right after Easter I will have that proof that will cause me to believe what he says about Trump, Biden, and politics. I looked at him and started laughing. I told him I was not trying to believe what he does and I'm not even going to ask what he thinks is coming. Shaking my head I walked away.

Similar to my own story.

DenoPenno comments on Apr 16, 2022:

I found Ingersoll about 20 years ago. It took me a while to come out of my previous indoctrination. As for atheists and non-believers I recall that I once thought god had killed O'Hair because she did not believe in him. This is how ignorant believers can become and it also shows why we continue to have believers.

Irrefutable Godly Contact?

DenoPenno comments on Apr 16, 2022:

If I believe in a creator god what belief system do I use in order to come to that conclusion? Next, I use an alien being in some fashion as a creator and I have the same problems. My question is why would I be worried about an eternal life filled with joy and contentment? That has to worry so many people or ideas of it would not continue to pop up. I even have a now dead friend who told me while alive that he had no problems with singing and praising god forever and ever. In his mind god was the big spark and we are the little sparks. It must be so nice to have your life all planned out for you. Most Christians need that kind of planning and few are smart enough to know that Paul/Saul was the real founder of their religion. Saul of Tarsus. That wonderful man who could not tell if he was in or out of his body while he received his divine teachings. I do not need irrefutable proof to know where I stand nor could any be found that would make me become a believer of a religious system. Men did all this. Men made and created all this. Religious stress does not cause me this daily insanity that it seems others deal with. How did we get here? I haven't a clue and I am not searching.

Pastor repurposes money from dying churches into social justice - The Washington Post

DenoPenno comments on Apr 16, 2022:

Maybe so but in my area church and religion has grown. A large auto repair business closed the doors and became a church. Now they are building on and becoming bigger. The pandemic caused some of this as people try to explain the pandemic. The ignorant think it gives them the answers and the bible had the answers the whole time. This is fear motivation. Some are drawn back to a childhood religion and others talk a similar thing because it is "the new world order." Yes, it is Biden and the new world order but they forget that Bush Sr. often spoke of the new world order. We live in times where ignorant people allow their thinking to run amuck. The current mindset is distraction and confusion.

The question of whether consciousness – seen from an evolutionary point of view - is an adaptation...

DenoPenno comments on Apr 16, 2022:

My personal state of consciousness is regulated by what I allow to become a part of my being. In other words, I am stuck in the era of being that I want to be in. For example, my house phones are from 20 years ago and rechargeable. Not that they are really 20 years old but that type of phone was popular then. My favorite TV shows are about 20 years old. I am not into the latest of anything and I do not talk like everyone today talks. Just a few examples here. I reject the consciousness of the NOW and live my life as I want it. I also believe that most of us do this. Accept some things and throw out others.

Is It Ethical To Use Amazon? | Current Affairs

DenoPenno comments on Apr 14, 2022:

Are you punishing yourself and if so for what reason? Amazon is similar to Walmart in many ways and I use both without even thinking about it. I have an Amazon account and last used it at Christmas. I use these places because local stores and shops do not have what I want. That's true with Amazon anyway. I order from them when other shops do not have what I want. I have no guilt about any of this. You sound as if you have guilt. How do you bring ethics into play in these situations? I don't even think about it. Yes, Alexa can be creepy but she is only on my 4k Max Firestick. Even that device has been hijacked by me so I have complete control of it. Amazon cannot take it back from me in any way. I have done this with my computers also. Cortana is not there and shut down. Once in the while Microsoft breaks through and wants to update. I reinforce my crack programs again and stop it. Google wants to own you but I will not allow that either. I have an adblock for everything. Get them free if you watch and I think my best one came from greedy old Google. Adblock Ultimate. Some websites want you to not use your adblock because they make money with ads by click and view. Fuck them! I do my best to ignore the nonsense and have things my way. Rest assured that I do not think it unethical to do so. Are we all complicit in some evil? Of course we are. It's called the world. The greed of the world. You either make it work for you or maybe try going to live in a cave. I have no guilt at all.

I don't know the point of that. I simply would not go. I call myself an agnostic atheist. It means I cannot prove to you that there are no gods and I damned well know you cannot prove gods exist either. In my world people who try to prove gods exist all have their minds made up beforehand. Belief without evidence is a foolish and shallow belief.
