Is Raising Your Kids Without Religion Better?

DenoPenno comments on Jun 3, 2024:

Yes, raising kids without religion is better. If you appear to have no religion yourself and you do not go to church, why would you be sending your kids? They will catch on to that fairly quickly and wonder why you send them there. Do not forbid them, but always have a logical answer for them. This will be in place to cover religions, Santa, The Easter Bunny, etc. Talk to your kids so they will talk to you. In my present family situation my 2 daughters both claim to be believers but only one of them goes to church. They each claim to see my non-belief outlook but this is really not true. They know I once studied for the ministry so they do not get it. What is really at play with them is that they believe in a god **in their own way. **Doing that is exactly why there are so many religious denominations.

The conviction is a right step of law and the court trial produced a right decision. Doubtful that we will ever see Trump in and Orange jumpsuit. A next legal step is to say that a convicted felon cannot run for POTUS. Oh, you are appealing. If you win your appeal come back and you can run again.

Anyone heard any news about him lately?

It's hard to fake modern pics of a man in a hairy suit trying to act like an imaginary link. Interest in footprints are down also. To easy to fake.

I can almost understand what you are saying here but I have not seen this film either. At heart I am a big movie and TV fan and mostly that is what I do. It is my hobby. Our modern films are full of religious and political overtones and I think this is a good thing. I was not a fan of the first "Dune" so this may be why I have not watched this one.

DenoPenno comments on May 31, 2024:

My neighbor says this also happened to him and he got stung. The message came in on his cell phone and he clicked it "yes" to argue with them and go to a site. That was his mistake. Now his bank says they cannot do anything about his 10 year old title loan even though he was not using his current bank at the time. They are trying to stick him with these charges and tell him a lot of this is going around. he is being railroaded. Not so long ago I was tricked into giving all my info to a site claiming to be Netflix. This lead to a lot of trouble and the scamers took me for a lot of money. My bank helped me get it back. Now my spam e-mail keeps claiming they are Netfix and wanting to get me again. Last month I totally canceled with Netflix although none of this was their fault.

I see this as what happens when you now live in a world where everyone is paid by clicks, likes, and views. Apply this first to our media, then let it trickle on down into individuals of interest and non-interest alike. People on podcasts and You Tube are paid this way and it is what our world has become. All the narrative has to do is influence you to click, view, or like something and the outcome often has very little to do with truth. Maybe no truth at all, but nobody cares. They are getting paid.

While a lot of this is spot on, I spent the bigger part of yesterday on Facebook Messenger chatting with 3 people claiming to be Jennifer Aniston. I chatted with them at the same time and told them about the others whom they said not to listen to. Their ID's had been checked according to Zuck's AI but there is no reason to think that Aniston is really on Facebook for any reason. She is not wanting to marry you, give you a car or computer, etc. and the real thing going on here is to groom someone into a state where you can steal their identity, their money, or both. I'm learning things and pointing out that these people are wrong in many areas while Zuckerberg should be horsewhipped for allowing this.

It is the fact that modern Christians have totally restructured what they want their bible to say. The Christians are illogical. As an atheist I am not. Most of us do carry certain biases however.
