With that said, some of the "wiser" Evangelicals still claim that sexual sin is behind the fall of man and even enters into play in the Garden of Eden. They seem to be forgetting that incest is a sexual sin and god used it to populate the earth not once, but twice. How dumb can you get?

Ken is a Ham and he tricked people into giving money to build an "Ark Encounter" in Kentucky. This is a massive mythical park that is not making much money back as it tries to explain Noah's Ark as a real event.

That show is just a joke in general. They show interesting stuff and then start to explain it... "Did aliens make this? Did an ancient civilization make this? No, it was an old housing development from the 50s that was half engulfed by a volcano."
The show is just a POS for gullible people.
DenoPenno replies on Feb 16, 2020:
Unfortunately, Rick, you are exactly correct. Our Reality TV world says that if you want to create controversy claim aliens did it. The reason is that it sells.

School Board Jesus Prayer
Sofabeast comments on Jun 18, 2019:
Should the $ have 'In Gold We Trust' instead of God. After all, with a promise of religious freedom in the USA, then the inclusion of multiple Gods and none at all should be included.
So, if schools take prayer, then they must allow for all belief systems.

"In God We Trust" is a true motto for our money. The money is the god we are trusting in.

Can sex overcome religion? You know what I mean!

The number one reason for religious conversions is marriage, so I think it's fair to interprete that as sex overcoming religion.
DenoPenno replies on Feb 12, 2020:
Someone converts to a religion in order to continue a relationship with a person. Sex overcame religion by becoming a member of religion and the people involved are not honest with themselves.

Agnostic atheism is a philosophical position that encompasses both atheism and agnosticism.

DenoPenno replies on Feb 7, 2020:
@fishline79 Rapture is not a biblical term but it is made into a biblical doctrine because of the Evangelical take on 3 scriptures supporting one thing making that one thing into a "doctrine." The problem is that the rapture is simply "great joy at his appearing." Christians today are so special that they are going to be removed from the Earth rather than go through things that many before them had to endure. Believers want this and know it is true because of the ushering in of "the end times." The strange thing here is that Jesus called his followers together once and told them we are now living in the end times. This has went on for over 2000 years now and no Jesus. Book of Revelation or not, there is no Jesus so far.

You are correct that scripture does not claim people go to heaven right after dying, but modern people want something and they want it right now, so they simply make it up. It's the American way.

@Petter Kodi is a name change after a threatened lawsuit. The software comes from X-Box technology and was first called XBMC for X-Box Movie Center. In itself it does nothing but make it possible for you to use third party software. These change a lot but work very well. You have to keep up with them.
As for TV shows that you might like, go to Fluxus Playon website and download their codec for IPTV and then put that code into your VLC Media Player. As usual, all channels do not work but most do if you know what you are doing. Another good way of watching TV shows is to buy a Roku and just set it up for the free channels.

DenoPenno replies on Jan 25, 2020:
@Yogisan Maybe you don't get it. The move is on to use public money to fund religious schools.Religious schools are private schools. Why is the government involved in this? This issue has already been decided long, long ago. The answer is that they cannot do this. Why is it coming back again? It is because many do not want a difference to exist and the reasoning they have is to declare America is a "Christian Nation." This is the soul purpose of the mixing of religious and public schools. It is on this basis that you sort of understand religions being taught in public schools. FFRF (Freedom From Religion Foundation) and others are opposed to it for this reason. Fuck taxing! If they succeed your kid will be taught religion in public schools. This is what that mess is all about. Should churches be taxed? Yes, they should. It does not change the above or make doing this OK.

@Yogisan Maybe you don't get it. The move is on to use public money to fund religious schools.Religious schools are private schools. Why is the government involved in this? This issue has already been decided long, long ago. The answer is that they cannot do this. Why is it coming back again? It is because many do not want a difference to exist and the reasoning they have is to declare America is a "Christian Nation." This is the soul purpose of the mixing of religious and public schools. It is on this basis that you sort of understand religions being taught in public schools. FFRF (Freedom From Religion Foundation) and others are opposed to it for this reason. Fuck taxing! If they succeed your kid will be taught religion in public schools. This is what that mess is all about. Should churches be taxed? Yes, they should. It does not change the above or make doing this OK.
I saw in the paper today that the supreme court is deciding whether to use public funds to support ...
Yogisan comments on Jan 24, 2020:
A lot of good positions here. Personally, I don't have anything against religios schools getting public funds IF the the churches involved pay taxes, just like businesses do. The whole idea of taxes is to support common public needs, like infrastructure, emergency services, public intitutions ...
DenoPenno replies on Jan 24, 2020:
Yes, but it is against the law. If a religious school gets public funds then we will end up with religion being taught in public schools. This is against the law. Teach it in religious schools if you like, but not in our public schools. Those who want to make this legal are shooting themselves in the foot. If it becomes legal ALL religions are going to be required teaching in public schools and not just Evangelicals as the plotters thought. It is a backwards way of claiming America is a "Christian Nation" and many want to push this false idea.

I'm quite sure you know what I'm going to say here anyway as some of it is shown in your post. In case it ever even remotely bothers you about suicides and "going to hell" the bottom line here is that a person in this state of mind is not in their right state of mind. Their passing is unfortunate and causes much pain but it is nothing for you or your family to be concerned with. Most of us know that hell is imaginary, has no demons, deliverance, or power over you in any way.
