Another reason might be that agnostic groups do not have backing or money to reach out to anyone. This is because they are not pushing a belief system or an agenda.

I have an Evangelical friend but it all goes back to a time when I was one of them. I have known him for over 50 years but there are times we have to get off the phone because he is still trying to convert me, or "get me back" into religion. He doesn't know that there is no going back and also no regrets.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 31, 2020:

**Flush the Turd November Third.** This is the only thing that will work. One main reason is that Trump has already said he will do away with Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid once he is re-elected. This brings up the question of whether or not you have relatives or family anywhere that are on or using any of these. A 401 K started for you at birth would not even take care of this. Medicaid pays $6,000 per month for my step dad to be in a nursing home. Notice that I said "step dad." He is not related to me so are they going to kick him out on the street? People need to get rid of their crappy party affiliations and start living in the real world.

I know I should stop but keep reading stupid people's posts on Facebook.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 31, 2020:

The reason you are seeing this is because we make the money for the rich at the top. If we do not work for them it takes away from their money. They do not care about us or our money and benefits. Now let me pass on a little truth from Trump's election. Donald and his family were New York Democrats. Trump ran as a Republican because he knew a third party would not win and he also knew that Hillary was running as a Democrat. Let that sink in and you can see the idiocy that Trump's GOP is spouting. Once you understand this his words and practices all fall apart.

Interesting comment on the Presidential debate question. What do you think?

DenoPenno comments on Aug 31, 2020:

Trump does not really want a debate. Donald jumps around from one issue to another and all to distract you. Kamala Harris would make the Trumpers look like the fools that they are. As for dementia, maybe Joe has it. IDK. Donald Trump looks, acts, and sounds like he has dementia.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 31, 2020:

This is a very good question because Jesus was also not a Christian. Let's also look at churches and the alter scene with prayers and wailing and Jesus ending up inside you. OMG you are saved ! The problem is that there are no scenes like this in the bible.

Many rehabs rely on religion.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 31, 2020:

I have recently gotten into the low budget show "Black Scorpion" which is a Roger Corman spin off on the 1966 Batman TV show. No pows, biff, and bam here but Michelle Lentil sure has fun in the lead role. In one episode a black man claims he cannot believe it. Black Scorpion is actually a white girl. She is a cop by day and Black Scorpion at night. Costume, special friends and villians plus a special car.

The choices this time are so depressing, I might just sit this one out. 🙄🍷

DenoPenno comments on Aug 30, 2020:

The meme is correct. If you sit this one out or vote for a third party you have simply thrown away you vote. Keep in mind that in communist and fascist countries people still vote. Why? The dictators can point to the vote to claim their being in power is perfectly legal. That is the power of the vote.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 27, 2020:

What is happening today is very plain really. It involved people losing their fear of crime and punishment in both political and religious realms. This makes the believers of (whatever) just keep on making it up. As for the "last days," Jesus told his followers that they were in the last days and some of them would live to see him coming back in glory. Anyone seen any 2000 year old men lately?

DenoPenno comments on Aug 27, 2020:

Satan as we know him today is part of god belief coming through a twisted and long road system to be what modern Christians want. This does not interest me because nothing is factual in the bible. At one point we have Lucifer, the light bearer, and a little evolution brings him around into a popular TV series character called "Lucifer." I think he is a cop in this one but I have not watched a single episode and could not care less.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 27, 2020:

Correct. Believers arguments for a god to exist start with a need for a god to exist. I've always thought that if a god existed he would cure all those poor kids at St. Jude who have cancer. Then I realized that it is all the sins of the fathers doing this. Besides, the founder of St. Jude was a Catholic. That just about does it for Baptists and Evangelicals.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 22, 2020:

My take on it is that the Christian has his mind made up already. His "conclusion" is pre-determined and he will use straw men to prove it. In the end the believer is stuck just making things up. This is the same with the non-believer but we have no dogma and therefore nothing to make up.

Why not? The person was not dead, they were near death. Your brain gets all confused at this state. The body laying wherever it is at this point does not go anywhere. It has what we call an NDE that some use to explain their "after death" experiences. To even go this far you have to invent a "soul" that many think you are given at birth. (The breath of life.) Others use the soul idea to immediately claim they are immortal. This looks like a setup to explain what you want to believe. This is all done without involving ectoplasm like they did years ago. I'm not impressed.

It is even greater than this. Trump has already said that if he is re-elected he will dismantle Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid next year. His method is in doing away with payroll taxes by Executive Order. Surprise ! If this is done you have no Social Security and the needed programs die off. Even a 401K started at birth would not produce enough money to take care of your medical needs. What about mom and dad, grandma and grandpa -- or even yourself? Someone needs to stop this maniac.

Perhaps I’m not as confident in my ability to discuss religion or philosophy or even politics.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 14, 2020:

This is true. I find that many people debating or arguing religion actually had a preconceived idea to start with. Why would I go on and on with them when I know the outcome they desire? Just take Evangelical religion for a moment. Your perfect god decided that humans should get here through incest. Believers point out that mankind was sinful. What sin was it? God got so angry he wanted to destroy every one with water. When the 8 people he saved emerge from the Ark he (god) once again wants to populate the earth through incest. This process is repeated another time with Lot and his daughters. At this point we either have to admit that the story is true -- or not. If the story is not true then the bible book is done. It tells you only lies.
