First, I’m happy that Arizona got rid of the legislation that would have legalized discrimination. Of course, that doesn’t prevent more people from trying the same thing. If you’ve been reading this blog, we often have our state legislators doing something ridiculous when trying to get their versions of their religions into the law.

What the Boss Likes – meet my newly created mascot, Ruby
Meet the blog’s new mascot, Ruby. One of my other hobbies, other than cooking, collecting unusual alcohol and dealing with religion, is sewing. I used to do a lot of sewing of costumes for historical recreation and for science fiction cons, as well as for my friends.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – prayers and theist claims, or “again, why believe such claims?”
In a delightful coincidence (no gods needed), w have another Billy Graham bit of nonsense about prayer, prayers for water in the American west, our current TrueChristian, KD, claims about how his prayer was answered, and his claims on how dare anyone bring that up, complete with indignant words on why it’s the atheist’s fault … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – prayers and theist claims, or “again, why believe such claims?”
