Welcome. The difference between us is that I came out of a white Pentecostal church that way. Since most people claim folks like us are "angry at god" I am starting to say I am no longer a believer because years ago Jesus would not bring me a pony.

DenoPenno comments on Nov 3, 2019:

God is hedging his desire for the smell of burned meat. Under older Christian beliefs in my lifetime people were resurrected (to flesh and blood I supposes) and then sent to heaven or hell forever. It contradicts because once you are in either place you are no longer flesh and blood, so what is resurrection for?

DenoPenno comments on Nov 3, 2019:

I'm sure there is a major shift coming up and those in power on both sides do not want to deal with it. Obama and Hillary are not brought up because neither of them are in power right now. Bringing them up is distraction and disinformation. Apples and oranges that Trump hopes you will be concerned with rather than actually being concerned with Trump and what he is doing. What is going on now can only be laid squarely at the feet of Donald Trump and the Koch Industries regime. They are in agreement with Russia in the ability to extract world wealth and minerals without any EPA restrictions. This also means that nobody gives a damn about you and your healthcare, your food, water, or wages. They want us all to shut up and learn to live with it. I believe in fighting back.

Real 'Garden of Eden' where ALL humans originated 200,000 years ago finally found in Botswana

DenoPenno comments on Nov 2, 2019:

Actually it is reinforcement for the religious folks. The bottom line is a "real" Garden of Eden. It's like finding Noah's Ark. Never mind that neither of them ever existed. Did they find Adam's tomb? Surely he had one. he was so smart that he named all the animals and creatures. Latin is a basic language for many others but Adam did this long before Latin came along. I suppose he named nats and skeeters too. I'm waiting to know the name of the first disease germ. Maybe we can finally find out where Cain got his wife.You know religion is all trucked up when it teaches the mark of protection on Cain was that god turned him into a black man. Just sayin.'

If I support my 3rd party it means I vote Libertarian. This means I vote for exactly what Charles Koch and others want at this very time. Years ago the Libertarians were wanting to be known as Radical Republicans. Tactfully thy changed their name. Today they are the Radical Republicans that we have under Trump. Vote blue. Vote green New Deal. This is not the socialism of years ago in the same way that Trump is not an Eisenhower Republican. Wake up to the fact that those in power have no concern for EPA standards of any kind and also do not give a damn about you, your wages, healthcare, food, water, etc. Voting 3rd party is not an option. If you vote 3rd party it distracts from those who oppose Trump and Trump wins. IF Hillary shows back up at last minute to run as 3rd party ( I hear she is thinking about it) all she does is guarantee that Trump wins. It is time to Dump Trump.

I agree with you but this will not make lawsuits in NY go away. The best it can do is make a judge declare that NY has no reason to pursue or view certain items. What about everything up until Trump decided to move to Florida? We have a new slant here but it does not nix a lawsuit. My advice to Trump is that they need a non-disclosure agreement and this should be done in fake names.

Ritualistic. It's the daily repetitions that we all go through along with other relaxing things that I want to do. Earlier in life I was very physical. Today I am a computer nerd. This is what I do in spare time.

A serious topic that has to be intelligently understood.

DenoPenno comments on Nov 1, 2019:

DenoPenno comments on Nov 1, 2019:

I am sorry for your loss. Hope you like it here. Most of us are OK but being agnostic or atheist has no guidelines. BTW, there is truth and also human opinion. I find that truth is always changing scientifically and that also changes human opinions.

As an Agnostic I am always interested when the sciemce takes a serious look at a spiritual topic.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 31, 2019:

It could be in the realm of my religious friend's belief. He told me recently that his elderly dog had cancer. The vet operated and then they prayed for the dog later. She is doing OK now. I almost asked him if his god would do anything for the children at St. Jude.

I have no idea if there was a "big bang" or not. If so, did it have to make noise and what started at that very moment? All I know for sure is that we cannot conceive of "nothing." It is impossible for us to see that everything came out of nothing. This means that there was always something and us and our universe came out of that something.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 29, 2019:

She is using an old trick to try and get you back to god and religion again. She thinks if things happen for a reason and you get your wishes you are blessed by the invisible man. When things fall in line for you it proves it and you just have to go with god, but that's not how it works at all. I'm "blessed" and the "god" helping me is myself. This is so because I keep what I am looking for in my mind somewhere and soon I find it. This is so if it is new or in a resale shop. It happened to me today and I found what I was looking for because I gave it all my attention. I found it in 2 days. Also, things DO happen for a reason. The reason might be just like I have said above. If you stumble you might fall so you have to be careful how and where you walk. No invisible being is guiding you in any of this. It is just you yourself. You create your purpose in life and you create your reason.

Of course, that is not how it comes across on the program. Why would people want to impeach you over a letter? As for his supporters they come back at me with that Ukrainian phone call being "you mean what Joe Biden done?" Someone here is insane or else they all love Reality America starring Donald Dump.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 25, 2019:

No they do not. They look at facts as "fake facts" and "fake news." This is exactly what Donnie wanted. One Hispanic relative of mine is so ate up with Trump that she recently posted to me that jobs matter and to look at the jobs. My reply to her was if you had 2 jobs maybe you could make a living. I'm also not a believer in ideas that your president creates jobs. Maybe I should have been Hispanic. She claims that they are the fastest rising group for Trump and their jobs are great with good money and they can now more easily buy a home. This is the biggest bunch of horseshit that I have ever heard, and Donnie did it all in 1000 days!

Being a JW is a cult in the same sense that Evangelical Christianity is a cult. There is great similarity. The big difference is that Evangelicals condemn the JW's because of "no soul belief." The idea of this scares them to death and both groups can "dis-fellowship" you for any number of reasons.

SHOULD AGNOSTICS & ATHEISTS CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN?

DenoPenno comments on Oct 22, 2019:

It depends on what you mean by "celebrate." I personally do not believe that on this one night all the souls or demons come out and I do not leave them food to pacify them with in hopes they will leave me alone. As the only one in my household today I do not pass out candy to children who come to my door. It was fun when I was young but today I am an "A-Halloweenist." Those with families and children are free to think differently. I do not want to get together a guidebook on what atheists should or should not do. Once you do that you will end up with rules and having meetings and "we believe" lists hanging on walls somewhere.

Are Atheists racist

DenoPenno comments on Oct 22, 2019:

The two do not go together but not believing in gods does not guarantee that you cannot be a racist. "Atheist" simply means "without god." That's all it is in basic.

One of the posts I read indicated that being an atheist or an agnostic is a choice we make.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 21, 2019:

You can look at it either way. As a one time believer I was tortured mentally for not following what I believed and it was driving me nuts. Logic and reasoning set in after I heard Jerry DeWitt talk of his experiences on You Tube. Jerry was one of the first graduates of the Clergy Project. It was easy for me to identify with him in this and I felt as if my eyes were opened for the first time. My guilt was gone, fear was all gone, and it all made so much sense. There are no gods. Bare in mind that along with belief in gods everything supernatural went right out the window as well. If you believe in anything supernatural it is because you do not understand it. Logic and demonstrable evidence is the only way to go.

When she talks of working without healthcare and less than a living wage and also believing that is just how things are and how they are supposed to be, this is how the powers that be want you to feel. Charles Koch and friends with the top 1 percent want all you can give them and to get it you have to have much less. The big job is done through distraction and disinformation, creating bias and racial discord so the oppressed feel they are missing out on something. Trump and others like him convince you of this when they are the very swamp that needs draining. It now appears that the entire Trump message is to convince you of how everyone before him was corrupt and he alone is restoring government. Trump is a liar and a conman.

This hits it all right on the head. Some in social media have finally stopped belittling me and putting me down because when they go off on me I quickly say that I did not make or write what they are reading. Name calling will not change my opinion and neither will debate that changes the subject. Trump is an asshole. Media has all the proof. Look it up.

Ok.

Will I bash your beliefs? I might even laugh at them.

For those who didn't watch Bill last night.

I watched Bill's show just this morning (Sunday) and I liked the Tyson segment. He handled the separation of church and state in a scientific way and that said a lot. I liked the end of the show when Bill says he and lots of others will pay Trump to leave. :)

Nice video. What is amazing here is that in our real world everyone talks of god and what god wants but in everyday practice we all act as if no god exists.
