Generally, I wouldn't go to the bother of this, but Caroline is a good example of theist that atheist often encounter. Her posts cover most attitudes and claims the Christian who thinks that they are an excellent defender of the faith. My first post addressing Caroline's questions to atheists is here. I have been able … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Dear Theist, part 2

From the Bar and Kitchen – Boeuf Bourguinon, Turnovers and a bad movie
I love that first weekend after the winter holidays are over. No expectations, just a chance to really relax after a month and a half of dread. I’ve always been uncomfortable around people and that’s all the holidays signify for me, being around people, many of whom I don’t like to begin with and trying … Continue reading From the Bar and Kitchen – Boeuf Bourguinon, Turnovers and a bad movie
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Dear theist, you need to up your game.
Following some links, I found this: http://areasonablefaithdotme.wordpress.com/2013/01/03/dear-atheist/ I’ve commented on it but since many Christians will not allow comments that address their claims to appear on their blogs (so much for the discussion they claim they want), I figured that I’d reproduce Caroline’s entire post here and my response. She uses a lot of the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Dear theist, you need to up your game.
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billboards and Fruits
The deacon over on Alethian Worldview has a nice competition. Come up with a billboard for letting people know being an atheist is fine. As he has already noted, some boards are fine, some are nothing special and some are pretty atrocious. My entry (the crowd image is something I found on the 'net with … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billboards and Fruits
What the Boss Likes – a follow-up to a prior post
Some of you might remember when I blogged about the controversy over "atheist plus". Someone disssed a hero of mine, Neil Armstrong, so I finally stopped ignoring the fence. One of my recent commenters here was kind enough to comment on another post and I went out to see his website. That got the whole thing … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a follow-up to a prior post
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The war on Christmas complete with friendly fire
The Daily Show already used the friendly fire analogy when Bill O'Reilly decided that Christianity wasn't a religion. Here are more self-inflicted wounds. The last few days of Doonesbury have done a great job ridiculing the “war on Christmas” nonsense spread by some Christians. But I do have to say, there might actually be a war on Christmas … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The war on Christmas complete with friendly fire
From the Bar and From the kitchen – Box wine and snacks
I love box wine. I love it for the taste and for the convenience, and it’s pretty “green” so I can feel good about that too. I’ve had lots of bottled wines. Some that were supposedly “good”, including some Chateau Neuf de Pape and Beaujolais nouveau, were pretty “meh”. The one of the earliest wines I … Continue reading From the Bar and From the kitchen – Box wine and snacks
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Mom, he’s touching me!
As the days go by, I see more excuses from Christians on why their god do is hands-off when awful things happen. It’s easy for me as an atheist; there is no evidence for a god so I am not surprised when no gods show up in response to a violent event or in response to prayers of any … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Mom, he’s touching me!
What the Boss Likes – Random things that have recently made me happy
For a very much needed vacation from the idiocy of the world, here are a few things that have made me happy Nadia G’s bacon chocolate - Didn’t use maple cured bacon, or a mold (just scoops on a parchment paper) and only had coarse kosher salt to sprinkle on them. But they turned out fabulous. We tried the Vosges … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Random things that have recently made me happy
