Haven’t seen the movie yet probably won’t, because I have no desire to add to the box office hits for this stinker. But I thought I’d take a look at the trailer and the movie website. I do enjoy showing how ridiculous the flood myth is, and have done so multiple times on this blog. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A review of the Noah movie trailer. Oh my, the silliness and this is only a few minutes of an hours long movie.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cue uncomfortable smiles, History Channel 2’s new series “The Bible Rules”
I had the opportunity to watch “The Bible Rules” a new series on the History Channel 2. This is about the lesser known bits of the bible, the parts that many Christians and Jews have no idea exist since most of their leaders will judiciously ignore them in favor of the happy fuzzy parts. It’s … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cue uncomfortable smiles, History Channel 2’s new series “The Bible Rules”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Science can’t explain how imaginary things work, therefore gods exist, a review of a God Squad column
In this past week’s God Squad column, Rabbi Gellman addresses “intelligent design”, the term invented by creationists to hide the religious origin and source for their attempts to have their myths taught in the classroom as the truth. (note: the column in my paper was severely chopped in comparison to the one in the link) … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Science can’t explain how imaginary things work, therefore gods exist, a review of a God Squad column
From the Bar – Another week, another sixpack of random beers.
At my current job, a sixpack of random beers costs about what I make working for an hour and a half. It’s more fun that going to a movie with people who always annoy me, so I guess it’s a fairly cheap entertainment. One, Otto’s Apricot Wheat, we had before, so I’ll only review the … Continue reading From the Bar – Another week, another sixpack of random beers.
What the Boss Likes – Cosmos A Spacetime Odyssey
You must watch Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Cosmos. It is an excellent successor to the original Cosmos series. I was about 14 when Carl Sagan did Cosmos. I got the book for Christmas one year, and I bought myself the book about the Voyager golden record. Watch this, it shows how poor religion has served humanity. … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Cosmos A Spacetime Odyssey
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – speaking for God, a review of a recent God Squad, part 2
A few days back I addressed a recent God Squad column, where Rabbi Gellman thought to answer some questions that readers had the way he “hopes” that God would answer them. Many of the answers are standard apologetics and excuses for the Judeo-Christian god. I thought I’d share why this atheist finds the responses from … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – speaking for God, a review of a recent God Squad, part 2
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – speaking for God, a review of a recent God Squad column, Part 1
In a recent God Squad column, Rabbi Gellman thought to answer some questions that readers had the way he “hopes” that God would answer them. Many of the answers are standard apologetics and excuses for the Judeo-Christian god. I thought I’d share why this atheist finds the responses from “God” so unfortunate. There’s quite a … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – speaking for God, a review of a recent God Squad column, Part 1
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Just what is a cult? Another review of Billy Graham’s columns
We have a new column from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, which has been the gift that keeps on giving. What is this one about, you may ask? It’s about how to identify cults. Yes, you might know where this is going already. When a theist calls something a cult, it’s hard to look away … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Just what is a cult?
