Digital anthropologist Rahaf Harfoush saw the … Continue reading What the boss likes – hypernormalization, and no you aren’t crazy →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – it’s not about the bathrooms or the beards

Since I'm doing some posts about veterans and the military, here's an issue my husband, a veteran and someone who has cystic acne, shared with me (BTW, if you have acne, try oregano oil capsules, they've done a wonder with his skin). Curious how the current Defense Secretary Hegseth is all about addressing things that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – it’s not about the bathrooms or the beards →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – don’t try to attack me when it comes to Trump and the military

A christian nationalist young women, MJ, has appeared on my blog before. She tried so very hard to cast me as hating veterans and the military. Alas, that doesn't work well with a young woman who supports the orange rapist. (memes at the bottom) Here's my response to her attempts to take the high ground … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – don’t try to attack me when it comes to Trump and the military →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yep, this is how we thought the “anti-christian bias” garbage would play out

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – John White’s further fails.

It's always fun when a christian can't even make a sensible title for his blog post. No mentions of atheists in foxholes in this one, just a christian making the same baseless claims. (memes at the bottom)How nice of John White to write more nonsense for me to expose as the failure of a Christian.Unsurprisingly, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – John White’s further fails. →

What the Boss Likes – Veterans March June 6, Washington DC

Found out about this on Richard Carrier's blog:"Hundreds of thousands of veterans (half of them disabled) are losing their jobs, including 86,000 jobs at the VA alone (that includes the 6000 there that Trump already fired). Trump is still funding the VA records modernization project, but gutting its IT department (a contradictory move). He is cutting some veteran benefits, and though … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Veterans March June 6, Washington DC →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a typical Christian parent

A christian, themamapologist, wants parents to defend their faith to their children. However, she doesn't want them to be taught their faith if it doesn't reflect well on the religion. I called her on her hypocrisy. "No, we aren’t all hypocrites. That is a common Christian claim in order to try to excuse your behavior … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a typical Christian parent →

In it, it mentions this "Texas resolution has misplaced faith in God’s promises - At the state level, we’re strongly opposing a Texas House resolution that would designate … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – FFRF’s update on various stories which involve “God’s Promises” →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the usual whitewashing and lies about Christianity

Jonathan Waits, a pastor, makes a lot of false claims. He's been here before: this, and this. Here's my response to them. Nothing much new. Memes at the bottom. "The church has a bit of a bad rap." wow, it's great fun to see christians try to minimize the harm that they've done in the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the usual whitewashing and lies about Christianity →
