Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – how the claim of a hidden god fails

https://writingsometimesphilosophical.wordpress.com/2024/01/27/divine-hiddenness-or-why-cant-we-see-god/?page_id=145 Curious how this god had no problem with personal appearances and direct evidence "once upon a time". The typical excuses made by christins on why their god can't be found fail as usual. one has to wonder, do these christians read their bible at all when they can't remember what this god has done?

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – From 5% to nearly 30% in 50 years

"Over the past half-century, as the number of Americans with no religious affiliation has gone from 5 percent to nearly 30 percent, the emphasis has often been on what they were leaving. A report released Wednesday on the “nones” finds that they are diverse, young, left-leaning and may offer clues to the future of making … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – From 5% to nearly 30% in 50 years →

What the Boss doesn’t like, at all – a warning for cat owners about plastic bags

One of our little ones, Ulysses (one of the orange ones) had an accident. He was playing with a plastic grocery bag and caught caught in it, which scared him. He ran around like a lunatic and somehow hit something with his eye. I ended up crawling into the crawlspace under the house to retrieve him. The eye … Continue reading What the Boss doesn’t like, at all – a warning for cat owners about plastic bags →

Not So Polite Conversation – one more christian insisting that everyone must agree with his nonsense

I’ve always found it most curious on how desperate Christians are to claim that, no matter what non-christians say or know, their imaginary friend simply must influence us.   No evidence for this, just the need of Christians to pretend everyone really does agree with them. A Catholic, Bishop Robert Barron, wrote an opinion piece for the … Continue reading Not So Polite Conversation – one more christian insisting that everyone must agree with his nonsense →

Not So Polite Conversation – a lovely example of quote mining and referring to century old nonsense by christians

I found a typical post by a christian desperately trying to attack evolutionary theory. As is very common, it is marked by quote mining, ignorance and the need to find quotes that agree with their nonsense, quotes often quite old since these people depend on ignorance and ignoring modern research. here's my reply: Unsurprisngly, that’s a quote … Continue reading Not So Polite Conversation – a lovely example of quote mining and referring to century old nonsense by christians →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – christmas in a nutshell

I found this nonsense on youtube, from a group called "abolitionists rising" a typical wannabee theocrat group of cultists who are against abortion. "The Son of God Entered the Womb to Redeem the World! Jesus Christ did not enter our world through a birth canal. He did not begin his earthly existence in a manger … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – christmas in a nutshell →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the world’s still here?

I've been sick with either covid, flu, RSV or some other nasty shit for 5 days. Feeling about 4 out of 10 from what seemed to be a -10 for a while. I'm going with diagnosing myself with covid, though my old tests didn't indicate that, but the severe headache for days did. And my sense of smell … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the world’s still here? →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – replying to an apologist

I found an apologist trying to edcuate his fellow christians on how to reply to an atheist/ non-christian. Unsurprisingly, his tactics don't work very well. My reply: “PRINCIPLE: If the Bible is the subject of debate, the atheist’s denial of the existence of God spells doom to their every argument.” Funny how that fails rather amusingly, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – replying to an apologist →
