Why is it that most people here are from the US?
DenoPenno comments on Sep 15, 2018:
I think this is because people in the USA are free to speak of their atheist views without fear of punishment. If the current American regime is allowed to continue that situation could change.
DenoPenno replies on Sep 16, 2018:
@Tibert I have made some of the same travels but was never looking for atheists or even asking about them. I also loathe Fox News.

@CallMeDave GOOD. It might mean they have found out there is no defending him. It looks like many close to him are finding this out also. Every Tweet digs a deeper and more disturbing hole. It is very hard to defend somebody like that.

I'm kind of doubting that Hitchens felt he was "looking eternity right in the face". Nice projection.
DenoPenno replies on Sep 15, 2018:
Hitch "flirted with becoming a Christian." What do you think he would have gained? Next you have him "looking eternity right in the face." No, this is not true. He simply dies and has no eternity. The end. What Hitch was looking at was "the end." The way these believer idiots tell a story you know they are scarfed to death of hell.

@motrubl4u If that happens and Pence takes over the New Apostolic Reformation will be at the forefront of making America a "Christian Nation." We will become like ISIS or the Taliban but just have a different religion. There is already a Museum of the Bible in DC and Hobby Lobby and others think that's about as great as the Ark in Kentucky.

@genessa No, English is my base language but I do know bits and pieces of others. I believe that dreams are things and they tell us things sometimes too. My dreams seem to revolve around things that are on my mind but sometimes things get twisted a little. If our minds never fully sleep then our dreams must reflect desires and unfinished business. In my dreams I can fly but not always. If that happened in real life it would scare you to death! In dreams it is fun. Too bad that some of our religious ancestors confused this with being "in or out of the body" and made up stories that were put into books, then claimed your real life starts after you die.

@Marionville Don't be mislead. I'm doing what I want to be doing. I mingle with people daily in my job but I see enough to know that private mingling will still end up with somebody talking about the invisible man. I recently ate out at a little sandwich deli and bakery and the discussion started when I mentioned evil in the world. The checkout started to explain by saying "well, you see the devil" and she went on into other nonsense. NO, I do not see the devil. WE are the devil and that's the whole problem.
Elsewhere close to me a doper girl I know has supposedly turned to religion and posted on Facebook that it was "national take your bible to school day." She has 3 kids and wanted this reposted and passed around. NO. Public school has never had a national take your bible to school day, nor should they have one. These are just religious idiots that keep the bullshit going and keep on making things up.

Vaccination is why I no longer see people with polio in this country. Mumps, whooping cough, and others have pretty much vanished also. Yes, that's right. I knew people who had polio as a child and it deformed their bodies. I never met or knew anyone with autism in those days. Not one single person....
DenoPenno replies on Sep 14, 2018:
@JustLynnie Not in my 72 years but maybe I was just living in the wrong areas. What are "special needs?" How would a chiropractor know about them when his book is nothing but woo? I was raised as a Missouri redneck and at one time went to a schoolhouse that had all grades together inside. Most of us knew all about the others and their families in great detail. This was in the days that old family photos showed relatives posing holding their guns. We were clanish and everyone knew all the gossip. We heard woo in those days too. I'm one that outgrew it.

@dahermit OK. I will leave it to you to come up with proper justification. My remarks and reporting of the incident point out that there is none and cannot be none.

Tell me something that may and you put yourself out on the limb that you seem to think I am on right now. Truth be known, I am not out on a limb. Investigation and arrest are coming too late and the story is still ever changing trying to find this mythical "justification" when there is none at all. Reverse the color of these people immediately and you would see that it is over before it began. Even so, Guyger is trapped. The irony is that she will likely get 10 years and not even serve all of that.

What I offered here is a possible defense that her attorney might use. What else can you say? Maybe that she was insane. She is not only on the wrong floor for her apartment but Jean had a red door mat in front of his door. Did she also have a red doormat? How did it happen that once she enters the darkened room she did not turn on the lights? That is the first thing anyone does and the light switch is always close to the door. Yet, she was able to see a black man in the dark enough to know he was not following her "verbal commands." Something is very wrong here.

@Juggler67 My daughters have some difficulty with it but they believe "in their own way" which is why we have so many denominations in the first place. Mom is dead and my step dad has dementia. I have few friends but one is still a believer and he has trouble with my de-conversion. He keeps throwing god back into the picture as if I need reconverting, and I have to ask him to stop.
DenoPenno comments on Sep 10, 2018:
I have had many fears and hardships involving this mythical being in the sky and by 2012 I finally realized it was all bullshit. Gods are imaginary.
**as far as I've been able to figure, its a combination of wish thinking, tradition, lack of consideration, or fear of death.**

This all went to hell after Zimmerman killed Martin but my take on that was Zimmerman brought a gun to a fist fight after being told by cops to "stand down" because they would handle it. Zimm (who had no uniform) was a cop wannabe who wanted to have police show up and find that he had young Martin and was holding him for them. It didn't work out that way.

I understand Deism as I'm sure so many did in the 1700's before science as we know it today came into play. Deism explains how everything got created but then the god being went away. The reason that I rejected Deism is that I'm not so sure we can ever know. Such a being would be unknowable but yet explain creation of the universe. I'm starting to believe that the universe itself may be this "god" and that it has always been around in one form or another. Again, we simply do not know.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 1, 2018:
Sorry this happened to you but it doesn't have to be a religious person who done the deed. Many people who do not go to church or worship a god just have it in their head that all that nonsense is right. Maybe they have self anger for not doing right and take it out on you for not believing all the ...

@Snickers77 I studied for the ministry as a Pentecostal but never became that great preacher. I was more like Marjoe Gortner I guess. After years of back and forth on it I woke up to see no evidence of gods at all.

Vote, for sure, it's important to vote. But as an old time soviet leader pointed out, it's more important who counts the votes. As we've discovered to our dismay.
DenoPenno replies on Sep 1, 2018:
Look for them to once again use a "Cross Check" machine on votes to make sure "Smith and Jones" did not vote in multiple states. This flawed machine is not used on Republican votes. The gullible think it keeps people from voting twice and there are so many still who believe bus loads of illegals come in to vote. Do those that fall for this actually vote? That would not go in my district at all and could never happen.

DenoPenno replies on Sep 1, 2018:
What do you mean no crucifixion, no resurrection? Don't you understand the the bibble has flaws in the crucifixion story and both of these events occurred at the time of a religious ceremony that changes dates from year to year according to the calendar. No contemporaries of that time list either event at all, and it leaves us with no date of death or resurrection. Jesus can resurrect yearly up to 2 weeks apart in time. So, what is the problem?

‘No One Is Ever Really Ready’ Death with Dignity
PalacinkyPDX comments on Aug 28, 2018:
Of course it's not easy and, like everything else in life, imperfect. What I think is unfair is how people with dementia and Alzheimer's are basically denied this dignity. They should be able to create a legal directive ahead of time which, given them regressing to a particular state, would allow ...
DenoPenno replies on Aug 30, 2018:
My step father didn't want any of this. He fought to avoid the nursing homes and keep his own power of attorney. All it did was make things worse and I had to outsmart him and take it away so he could have the care he needs. He still says he can walk with a cane and live in a little house somewhere but that's how he broke his hip to start with. He will never walk again and can only walk a short distance with a walker. He does that if you get him into the walker first.

DenoPenno replies on Aug 30, 2018:
@birdingnut Exactly what I did and I had the same costs. Wanting to keep my property I also put a quit claim deed in with the paperwork and it was immediately filed after divorce court. I also did all my ex wife's paperwork coming here and she is a US citizen today. I should have become an attorney but was too stupid to see it. Recently I was behind everything that got my demented step father into a nursing home but he fought it all the way. Vocal about not wanting me as a POA he was OK with setting my daughter up in that position. She admits she doesn't know what she is doing and I guide her all the way.

‘No One Is Ever Really Ready’ Death with Dignity
DenoPenno comments on Aug 29, 2018:
Funeral homes do not like me. When I die I am going to be cremated plain and simple. Death with dignity? There is no such thing. It's an invention of funeral homes to make more money.
DenoPenno replies on Aug 29, 2018:
@JackPedigo I see your point and both you and your wife are doing a noble thing. What I refer to is the horrible deaths that so many of us have in the end and funeral homes pushing their "death with dignity" thing by throwing a little more money at it. They bring god into the picture to justify all this. When the local funeral home found out I'm atheist the owner told me he didn't "have enough faith to be atheist." My mother did not have an easy death and it had no dignity.
