According to limited data on the now defunct Cambridge Analytica a great many of us have been hacked in various ways to support something that is not true. They say CA is gone now but the data is still somewhere. Many in Quora Digest believe that their name and info is and can be used to gain support for false ideas. I am inclined to believe it. When were we hacked? We do not know. A small example of this is that I view a website on my computer and later Facebook shows me this website again.

Philosophy might mean something but I'm tired of modern people telling me that ancients suggested we might be a brain in a vat, or that we are actually living in a matrix. This is a totally ignorant response to suggest support for your ideas today. Sounds to me like these ideas came out of a society that had computers and virtual reality with movies that popularized the whole idea.

Trump was recently on Hannity's program to claim his Ukraine phone call is actually a letter, and it is a perfect letter. What he means is the transcript of that call and how they tried to hide it. 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.

Why so many posts about God?

DenoPenno comments on Oct 21, 2019:

I no longer believe in the invisible man in the sky either but I am finding out that everyone has a different story about it. I stopped believing when Jesus didn't bring me a pony one year.

AOC is exactly correct. 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.

I have a lonely existence except for doing the things I always done and enjoyed as a much younger man. I hate no one and have no bad feelings. At the same time I have no delusions. I am so tired of being surrounded with drama, drama, drama. Discussion is medicine for the soul because it is sharing. The pace today for relationships is media driven and too much like Reality TV.

My mind is screaming out "no" cause Trump is the idiot that caused this crap. You can never get them to agree on that one. He's the American savior.

Humans are always modifying their story but if you are religious you simply make things up. I can look back on things I used to believe even just a short time ago that I do not believe today. How do I justify? Ignorance and stupidity because we are always learning whether we like it or not. If you are religious you just put that in god's plan.

Would you as an agnostic or atheist marry a Christian?

DenoPenno comments on Oct 18, 2019:

My ex was such a woman and I was a borderline believer when we married. During the marriage and during our "church going days" counciling helped us sometimes. By the time we split up I was a non-believer and she admitted she could see what I was talking about but remained a believer herself. Counciling does not always go in favor of your marriage however. It did in our case. Marrying a believer is not a problem** IF** they do not go to an Evangelical group. If they do, this can turn on you as the other one cries and pleads for you to accept an invisible man who can prevent an invisible part of you from burning in an imaginary place forever, and this happening after you die. In this last senario you will have no peace and be hounded forever until you give in or both of you are driven apart. Good luck.

Church and religion came later once my mom and stepfather came into the picture. By age 13 it was a very big thing.

In the case of your large animal above coming towards you, it has likely already smelled you, and whether or not it is a meat eater may not apply. I do not see anything about "faith" in this at all.

The reason is that all the Trumpers would come to my page to attack me and call me names for the things I posted. As usual their attacks change the subject and they have no facts to support what they claim. They wanted me to list a source when I had posted it right before them and they pick and choose which source is credible. Apparently Trump got elected and his "great wisdom" told which was "fake news." The reality of that phrase comes from media that was not friendly to him. Trump is about distraction and disinformation. Actually he hasn't got a clue.

I simply would not go. IF for some reason i did end up in a church today I would have to get up and leave once they started in with that garbage from years ago.

Your veiws on Spiritual?

I do not understand spirituality in a religious view or any other view. I do not make up my own facts and I do not deal with woo.

He is an idiot! Is he saying that if the mom was not atheist her baby would still be alive?

I have learned not to celebrate anything about the murderous bastard.

Should trump's mouth be washed out with soap?

DenoPenno comments on Oct 13, 2019:

It does not matter because nothing is his fault. His permanent administration is very busy trying to get rid of all the corruption that was before him.

I’m Not A Doctor, But I Know That Trump Is Making You Sick

DenoPenno comments on Oct 13, 2019:

He makes me so sick that I have avoided early morning news on TV for months now. I feel much better getting news form the Net instead, or watching it all from other countries.

I saw a Ouija board the other day.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 13, 2019:

Evangelicals believe this and we have many movies about it. When I was very young the quija seemed to work for us. It was like magic. As an adult now it does nothing.

Forcing my self to stay awake until 10:30.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 13, 2019:

I have the same wake up problems that you do. I get up at 6 AM anyway but I am always waking up. I think it is anxiety but I do not want any meds for anxiety. I have to know what is going on and do not want to be knocked out. Hope you have a fun birthday trip. :)

DenoPenno comments on Oct 13, 2019:

Why should we allow or want reporting on his rallies? Telling lies to a support base is not real news and what goes on there is about like we would suspect. I have media friends who went to this last rally to protest and one had balloons of the Trump in diapers dirigible. This was not reported either. There are a few lame reports of his rally but only briefly.

So earlier at work I met a guy who works for the NASA branch in Maryland.

Once this is in place it will be interesting to see if we get any better pictures of what is out there.

I remember this , it shows how utterly stupid anti vaxxers really are , was a huge fear for parents ...

DenoPenno comments on Oct 13, 2019:

I agree that we have a short memory. I'm getting a flu shot next week and in my early school daze I remember those with polio. Antivaxxers fall into a group of "dumbed down" people and this is all in the current plan. Confusion and distraction to the point that you do not know what to believe. This is how Trump and the Kochs will control us all and do exactly what they want. The problem here is that I here so many otherwise intelligent people claim that these days we do not know what to believe. Why? How would the election of Donald Trump change all of that?
