I thought Kristi was pretty but I never put her on a pedestal so much as to make her my religion. Besides, she was married. Back to serious again, this guy does a great job. The young lady has lots of answers but she needs to listen to herself here. All of her talking has no proof at all. She sounds like a happy blathering idiot. of course, she has no evidence. This is all about "her internal feeling." There are over 4,000 groups that differ in belief but believe things the same way she does.

For atheists - what makes you believe no deity exists?

DenoPenno comments on May 26, 2018:

I do not quibble between words like agnostic and atheist. We all know there is no evidence of gods. If you quibble between word meaning too much you might end up placing the burden of proof upon yourself. The best example of this is when you declare that there absolutely are no gods. I don't believe in any, but the believer will offer his Buybull and other nonsense as his proof. He might even have you looking at trees and birds. Maybe a sunset.

I was thinking about my old beliefs about the soul, and decided that when I referred to the soul,...

DenoPenno comments on May 26, 2018:

Your last paragraph sums it all up beautifully. The ongoing problem of mankind was always that he could never distinguish accurately between sleeping and being awake. This is the root of all the ongoing religious phenomena. We do not possess a soul. We are the soul.

Do you believe in spirits that talk to you?

DenoPenno comments on May 26, 2018:

Assuming you meant something talking to you in your own head, I only have one voice and it is my own. I can turn the voice off and think faster without words but it is not as much fun. If you hear other voices inside your head you could be Schitzo and need to take medicine. This will make the voices go away. On the other hand, if you are alone somewhere and voices seem to just start talking to you out of the blue like in some movie, you really have a problem. Imagine Moses as the burning bush started talking to him. I don't think that is normal.

DenoPenno comments on May 26, 2018:

This is exactly what is going on right now. Trump is the worst. Now this next bit I'm doing from memory. June 14th, 1943 the Supreme Court declared that a person did NOT have to mandatorily participate in the Pledge or the Anthem. Unless that has been reversed somewhere along the line it means Adolf Trump and his supporters are blowing a lot of hot air about nothing. This makes the big question of why did not the current GOP or Dems not recognize and remember this action? At least one or two of them have to be that old. Why do people bow to and seem afraid of Adolf Trump? The time to get rid of him is NOW.

Dating a Married Man?

DenoPenno comments on May 26, 2018:

It's frightening and hypocritical. We once had a ban on assault weapons. It got lifted. What is going on now with shootings and gun protests? There is too much money to be made. Dope and armaments are the 2 biggest money makers in the world.

The unexplained..

DenoPenno comments on May 26, 2018:

We have all had events of this type in our lives. For those who say "it's god" I disagree, but it is supernatural. Keep in mind that this term itself causes many to have god belief, but supernatural is a term we use when we cannot explain something. I have had these experiences in my own life in a rich sort of way and could tell you many stories. Some people think this "proves god" but I find nothing in the bible that would say so. It's just that we humans are complex creatures and we have so man things we do not know. Just leave it to a Buybull thumper and they will try to get you believing anything. My boyhood religious friend keeps asking me about the volcanoes in Hawaii these days. He wants to convince me that his Buybull warned of these things. Really? I think not. I find no reference of Hawaii or a volcano but an active Evangelical will believe anything. It's the "end times" you know.

Do you think that the religious are Gullible?

DenoPenno comments on May 26, 2018:

Do I believe that religious people are gullible? Damn, that question just about answers itself.

I just got my second tattoo ever.

DenoPenno comments on May 26, 2018:

I don't have any, don't want any, but my kids have them. Reasons for them vary. My oldest daughter has (among others) a "charm bracelet" around her ankle. I once worked with a girl who got a tattoo because she "didn't want others to think she was chicken." I once knew a man that had an ink dot on his penis. His favorite thing at drinking parties was to ask if anyone had seen Dot. When everyone said "no" he would whip it out. (This is a true story.)

Is The Handmaids Tale possible?

DenoPenno comments on May 25, 2018:

If we do not do anything to get rid of Trump and his awful family we are living in the beginning of it right now. I tell people America is now governed by an oligarchy and the usual reply I get back is "Democrats have big money backers too." It shows me that people just do not know (or want to know) what you are talking about. It's time for Donnie and his family swamp to go, and he needs to go by any means possible. There is a small amount of evidence that people are starting to realize how bad this is and see as well that he will not go quietly. I'm starting to see that nobody really knows what to do. Trump is a horrible man and nobody wants to cross him. Soon we will see just how horrible he is. The irony here is that low wage and mentality people say things like "he has done more for us in a short time than any other president in history has done." My idiot friend told me that. Then he doesn't get it when his medicine goes up a lot and it cost him $500 to have one tooth pulled. There most be something wrong with that medical industry and they are greedy now. Yes, there is something wrong with them. It's called Donald Trump when he did all he could to kill the ACA. No more "Obamacare." This is what Trump has done for you in a short time "more than any other president in our history." Either you are stupid and dumb or you just refuse to realize it. I'm only talking about ONE thing here and there are many, many more. Wake up! Use your mind.

Judging from the posts I've read, I must be the meanest agnostic on the planet.

DenoPenno comments on May 25, 2018:

I say have a great day, have a special day, and have a good day. I keep all that make believe crap out of there on purpose as it makes me angry also. I don't need Tinkerbell to be a part of my day.

When you have nearly 2000 right wing Christians on your Facebook this makes a great cover photo

DenoPenno comments on May 25, 2018:

I'm not sure but most of us are known. I've said so much bad stuff about Trump that now his support group is sending mail to me at my real e-mail site.

Good one :)

DenoPenno comments on May 25, 2018:

ROTFLMAO here.

Having people over

DenoPenno comments on May 25, 2018:

I seldom have people over, period. I'm a private person and you do not need to see my stuff. Anyone should beware of the parent and child at your door wanting to use the restroom. (Oh, the little girl has to go so bad.) Anyone should beware the person at you door wanting a drink of water. You are being spied on and set up. It's a "doper" situation. These people do not need to be in your house. Call me if you want to come over. No texting bullshit. Then I decide who can be my company. I do not wear the clothing that people normally see on TV. I also respect my own privacy way more than any outside my door do.

Prayer in US schools? It IS allowed, just not enforced.

DenoPenno comments on May 25, 2018:

No, it was never banned. It was simply going in a wrong direction. People say that Madalyn Murray O'Hair had prayer banned in schools but what was banned was Bible reading. This was in 1963. A year before that the Supreme Court banned officially sponsored prayer in public schools. Now here is where it gets strange. Most of my school mates are theists. They remember when prayer in public schools was allowed and they remember it as Baptists and Pentecostals. What I remember is teachers saying "those that want to can now have one minute of silent prayer." In my area of mid Missouri it was nothing more and nothing less.

Today they found Lucas Hernandez.

DenoPenno comments on May 25, 2018:

DenoPenno comments on May 25, 2018:

Facebook relies on the anal retention within all of us. It really works well if you do enough thumbs up or likes. Jesus uses Facebook and he waits for enough responses in likes before he does anything about prayer. NO, I am not serious here.

If anybody feels they can explain men to me, I'd appreciate that. I need a refresher course.

Trump's letter to Kim Jong-un revealed

DenoPenno comments on May 25, 2018:

I agree with your every word. BTW, "flaming turd" is a very good description of this clown. He needs to exit and I no longer care how he leaves. People in my small area are now shocked that dentistry has turned into oral surgery just to pull a normal tooth. The cost is $500 and a regular dentist cannot do this any longer. Talk on who to blame for this change gets idiotic. Do they not remember the "flaming turd" who vowed to end "Obamacare" and give us all something better? Something less expensive.

Colbert: Nice Try, Deep State! Trump Has You Figured Out! [youtu.be]

DenoPenno comments on May 24, 2018:

Colbert is correct and Trump is a desperate idiot that seems more and more to me like a lunatic!

No words. Ok I lied. The room is adequately filled with a EFFING fog!

DenoPenno comments on May 24, 2018:

This is pretty close to true. A great percentage of his fans do not watch news, are not political, and think that he is a real estate and business magnet. Therefore any problems he is having has to be political opponents, bad press, and the fact that he had to "learn" this new POTUS job and how everything goes. This last one is why the POS appears to be taking our benefits and money away. Maybe he will catch on soon and we can all be great again. Actually, "Make America Great Again" should be the slogan of whoever it is that runs after this idiot and tries to correct it all. America was great before this POS came along.

The Donald in perspective.

DenoPenno comments on May 24, 2018:

That's really funny.

Thoughts on "things happen for a reason"

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

I do believe everything happens for a reason but we do not and cannot always know that reason. I. E. If I drop a rock while holding it, the rock will fall to the ground. If I fire a gun the bullet will travel in a straight line to the target. Now this last one poses a problem. Humans tend to claim they are holding the gun in such a way as to "aim" at the target. If so, why would they miss? I've thrown in a variable to the "things happening for a reason" that we just cannot answer properly. This is when humans throw in an invisible god and start making things up. This is what most people do rather than admit that "they do not know" something. We create our own destiny.

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

Having been fooled by the religious world as a young teen, my take is different on these things today. "Do you know Jesus?" I can honestly say that I do not know him and neither do you. There is no way possible to know him. Sorry.

I've been doing some serious TVing.

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

View the "news" and it does seem that nothing is truly united. Money and politics distracts and distorts.

When if ever will the press and dems stand up and rebuff Trumps outrageous distortions of the truth?

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

It is appalling and should be addressed as it truly is. TRUMP LIES. The only hope of calling this as it is would have to be in a balance of political power and we can vote and hope for that balance in November 2018. Without it Trump's lies will not be addressed. Without it Trump will never be impeached. Without that much needed balance of political power Trump will continue to go forward with his lunacy and insane demands with no checks and balances. Media will continue to go forward allowing you to think this Orange Clown is perfectly normal and does everything with the well being of America and it's citizens in mind. Even a child knows this is not so. We must continue to enlighten others before it is too late.

The Irony of it is, that "if" there was such a personge, the average self descirbed evangelical, ...

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

This meme is well taken and true everywhere but not seen by the faithful. In my area there are so many believers who say "Jesus would not be happy with all the handouts." Maybe they are right. Jesus would want to keep all the money for himself.

13 Common (But Silly) Superstitions

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

While I can stand not walking under a ladder because something like paint just may fall on you, lots of this is plain out silly. Let's take 666 from the Buybull for example. Is it the number of "man" or the number of "a man?" Some just cannot stand it. They want no 666 in their address or phone number. OMG! Strangely, it doesn't bother me. Use all the 6's you like. My address could be 666 Something St. I don't care.

Not this shit again.

DenoPenno comments on May 23, 2018:

This silliness is all over Facebook and my own children even fall for it. The mentality behind this is the same that shows Jesus and the Devil arm wrestling. We must remember as well that Jesus logs onto his Facebook account to see if there are enough "likes" to do something about prayers for healing.

Bible verses that still bother you.

Bible verses that still bother me. Most of them. Yes, most of them.

Do people become more bigoted as they age?

DenoPenno comments on May 22, 2018:

I think you are onto something. I've seen it in my demented step father and others as well. It may be surfacing because of Trump and the idiocy he has set lose since becoming POTUS. His ideas cause hate and opinions to come out like never before. Now that Trump is in the WH and tweeting out his nonsense, people left and right are saying how bad it was under Obama. Bad? Was it because you were aware a black man was in the WH? Trump is bad, on the other hand, because he appeals to your innermost base feelings and you start putting yourself first in everything. The only thing important is YOU. This is how Donnie thinks and he doesn't mean you. He means HIM! Such a bad apple rubs off somewhat on everyone.

What happens when we die?

DenoPenno comments on May 22, 2018:

You die and your consciousness moves on. To where? Why is it that nobody has made contact with such consciousness? With this unanswered it makes me say you have no proof for your belief. It's the same wishful thinking that theists use because of their fear of death. I had no answers or anxieties before I was born. I suspect it will be much the same way after I die.

But our country was built on Christianity...ok, got it. (sarcasm)

DenoPenno comments on May 22, 2018:

What has The Trump Presidency Done For or To the US?

DenoPenno comments on May 22, 2018:

A chimpanzee could have done a better job than Trump has done. Going into 2 years now as POTUS we see that Trump demands a DOJ investigation into his allegation that the FBI was reporting on him and had him under surveillance for political purposes during his campaign. Is this part of his ego, his dementia, or both? We are told that the American people have a right to know. I contend that nobody would have thought of this smoke screen until the Oldtimer's dementia kicked in. Anything to keep the insanity going.

Have these guys ever successfully boycotted anything?

DenoPenno comments on May 21, 2018:

The Obama's are going to give us some good political programs that should be very educational to everyone. Well, not really to everyone. Those Murcans who have broken their coffee makers and find all the truth on Faux just may not like it so much. Those poor babies! They had to put up with actually seeing a black president daily for 8 years and I'm sure it really caused trama. Boo hoo hoo! Meanwhile, Trump announced just today that he wants the FBI checked into for monitoring him during his campaign. He's going on 2 years in office and surely this FBI monitoring must have been illegal. Personally I think the Alzheimers is really setting in.

And, of course, it will be across the street from a Church.

Impeach-a-Palooza Upon the impeachment, indictment or otherwise the resignation of Donald J.

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

I don't think impeachment will do it, and I don't see Trump leaving quietly. In fact, I see Trump and his cronies trying to use all the investigations and "fake" evidence as reasons why he should stay in office, maybe even indefinitely. I won't feel relief from this nightmare until the bastard is in the ground. It would not work however. Then he would want Eddie Munster to take over for him if Mueller doesn't get him too.

Trump and his Lawsuits

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

Apparently his poor supporters don't think they really need or qualify for the many things he has stolen from us all already. What things are those? Well, if you follow closely and don't see them already you should start seeing by 2018 and beyond.

My ex lied to my children about me.

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

It happened to me years ago and it happens because the other parent is afraid of losing the children. This causes both parties to use the children when they are often still fighting among themselves. The best thing is to ignore it if possible. If that cannot be done explain it in your words without damning the other parent. In time the children see that both parents have to be dealt with a certain way and they fall in line with this because they normally love both parents.

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

Yes, the "value voters." It's white Evangelical voters because this is all about white privilege. This is a reclaiming of the religious ways of the past. Only whites matter. They control everything and even religion. Slavery was OK because it taught the slaves about the "true gawd." The Trump cult that now springs up says it is OK to be a neo Nazi American or a Klansman. I find all of it disturbing and damned dangerous!

As a non-believer, what are your feelings on the Satanic church?

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

I do not believe in anything supernatural. No god, no satan. What I do know is that Satanists have used their group in the way that religion would in order to deal with totally ignorant laws involving public schools and religious ideas. For this they should be commended.

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

Google and Facebook, along with a few others have some very strange ways about them. As for me, I've long used an abbreviation or similar thing for my online identity for very obvious reasons. I have found many times that my real name comes through with Google, especially if I have signed in using said name and then posted. This is not always true. I Googled myself recently and found that Google says I am Michael Penn, Sean Penn's brother. They even have my picture there too. On one site I am known as Michael Penn but it is a shortening down of my own name. I do not know Sean Penn of his brother and I'm not trying to pose as either one of them. Google Analytics is not very smart.

DenoPenno comments on May 20, 2018:

I'm trying to understand your comment, Vam, but notice my posting is not really about "illegal immigration." My remarks about how to get into political activism are not even about immigration.** What I am addressing here is the totally batshit crazy reactions of many if they simply hear someone speaking Spanish or another language**. I set the stage in telling the story to my insurance lady because I knew deep down that she would think I was going to go crazy on this lady over the language issue just like others on TV or the Internet have done. It also shows the position my insurance lady holds. This is why she started laughing. *There could be a thousand reasons this lady I talked with does not speak English. The obvious one is that she has not learned the language. I'm not the ICE informer or the language police. These are the tactics of Nazi Germany. I do not know anything about the lady I talked to in the store that day and it's not my job to assume anything. She might be a communist. For all I know she is atheist. Maybe secretly. Maybe if we can get a crowd gathered around her we could water board her and find out. * I brought my own (now ex) wife here from Kenya and I did all her paperwork. Today she is a US citizen. There was never a "set of papers" that she was supposed to carry with her at all times. As far as I know this has not changed over 12 years later. Such ideas make good movie fodder and also play right along with the extreme right. Some of this is turning average Americans into idiots today.

So Trump "fulfilled biblical prophesy." Alright! Now all the Evangelicals need to do is wake up and see that all fulfilled biblical prophesy is simply the fact that the book was not written when they think it was, or that they are taking scripture completely out of context. In many cases it is both. What is happening now in the Middle East is more killing and bloodshed because of ignorant misunderstanding. It's all about Abrahamic religion. If you think not then imagine for a moment that Netanyahu decides the Israeli Embassy should be moved from DC and placed in Hollywood. He would have no reason to do so. What was Trump's reason?

Religious people tell me it's not possible for old Charlie to die for my sins. OK. What about Jesus dying for yours?

Anyone watching 13 Reasons Why?

I will look for it and see what I think.

No collusion, out of 14 indictments 5 guilty pleas and 1 already sentenced.

DenoPenno comments on May 19, 2018:

It seems rather simple to me. The big problem today is people who do not understand facts and they seem to have a leader who has no facts. They need to understand that just because Bozo speaks and says so does not automatically make something so. He's a conman.

Ok I've had it with the cost of cigarettes.

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

You can do this. I haven't smoked now in 18 years. I tried twice before and didn't make it. You have to really want to quit. A non smoking buddy is good but know this also -- you cannot hang around with all your old smoking friends and become a non smoker. That doesn't work and they will not want you to succeed even if they say they are all for you. They would not want you to succeed at something they cannot do. I was a 2 pack a day smoker.

I'm an organ donor

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

Being and organ donor wouldn't work for me. I've already got Hank William's liver.

What religion were you originally steeped in? I was raised Mormon.

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

My grandparents were Jehovah Witness but my mom got out of that early on. My stepdad was Southern Baptist and he and mom ended up Pentecostal, so my first church experiences were "full gospel." I lived with my grandparents before that but they never attended meetings.

The goal of any fundamentalist religion always has and always will be total control of females.

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

That does seem to be a pattern. I think the women want to do right by their families and honestly think the buybull is a "good book." The preachers keep pushing that idea also and the women think they have well being of their families in mind.

Something for the NRA to mull over today.

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

I agree with the Vet.

Trump vs Obama

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

Absolute truth and yet so many that are too blind to see it.

Social.

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

I see your point. Social media is so strong within most of us that we would give up the real relationship just to have one in social media. This often appears to be true., maybe because the real relationship is the hard one. It's easy to be Facebook friends. Harder to be real time lovers.

Boredom occurs when we haven't looked deep enough inside ourselves.

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

If I get bored with one thing I usually start doing another. That's why I am very seldom bored. Yet, the things I do that give me pleasure might bore you to tears.

If Moses wrote the first five books of the buybull, then how did he write about his own death after ...

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

You won't believe this. I'm surprised that I did even when I was gullible and studying the buybull. Moses was taken and buried secretly by God. This means that we know someone else wrote about what happened after Moses died. Yep, somebody else finished the book. That's what the Evangelicals believe and they tell you the story with a straight face. Imagine. "Hey, Charlie. Didn't Moses wander off somewhere and die? Yep, he sure did. Well where's that book he was working on. God wants that finished ASAP so I guess I'll do it. Gotta get that book to the people."

I think we hate Trump. :)

They need bigger poop scoops.

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

It isn't the elephant they are cleaning up after. It's all that crap coming out of both ends of Trump.

I can be cool with anyone but I can only truly be comfortable with nonbelievers.

DenoPenno comments on May 18, 2018:

I hear yah. I have a limited amount of friends and these days they are more like acquaintances.

And here it is folk, collusion, from a Washington news article on FB, found in Cohen's text msgs or ...

DenoPenno comments on May 17, 2018:

I agree with you but the problem is that the GOP refuses to deal with this or to even face it. The absolute latest is that there is no collusion, and even if there was, there is just nothing anyone can do about it. Apparently there is no prosecution for the president as he is just untouchable, so Mueller had better just give up and go away. Let's get serious here people. This special part of out government was added just to be able to deal with things like this. Trying to call it "illegal" now is really dumb. Some of it worked in the past but they want to play games and say it doesn't work today and will not work with Trump. Why? So many of us want to know why. Is it because he will refuse to leave?

Patton Oswalt - The Insanity Of Faith [youtube.com]

DenoPenno comments on May 17, 2018:

Patton Oswalt is absolutely correct on beliefs. You do NOT have to respect people's beliefs. Not at all.

He is a liar.

DenoPenno comments on May 17, 2018:

He tells you in the "Art of the Deal" that he is a liar. He said that if you say something 3 or 4 times people start believing it. That's what it is all about with Trump. It's not about truth. It's all about you believing it.

Robert Reich: The Poor Should Work Harder, but Billionaires Deserve a Break—Right, Trump?

DenoPenno comments on May 17, 2018:

I follow almost everything Robert Reich is saying about our current political situations. It's also interesting to note that Killer Mike (aka Michael Render) and Bernie Sanders are working towards defeating the GOP candidates running in all the upcoming elections. They put in a lot of hours and if interested in helping you can contact them.

Any Johnny Cash fans? What’s your favorite song(s)?

DenoPenno comments on May 17, 2018:

I grew up with Johnny Cash music all around me and he was so popular with me that I played his songs sometimes even during my last marriage. My Kenya ex-wife learned to identify Johnny Cash music in the first 5 musical notes of a Cash song. Overall our music interests were varied and still are.

What are you listening to?

DenoPenno comments on May 17, 2018:

I used to get drunk and listen to Jerry Jeff Walker. He sounded drunk in those days too.

Which is more important?

DenoPenno comments on May 17, 2018:

I voted for safety because under Trump you do not have any safety.

DenoPenno comments on May 16, 2018:

I can be called agnostic or atheist. I can even be an agnostic atheist. This is because I do not believe but I cannot take it so far as to claim evidence and take on a burden of proof.
