I've found a supposedly new and typically bad theodicy. This is "participation theodicy" by John Buck. I've snagged a copy of it here. the abstract: " Why does God allow gratuitous suffering to occur? In this paper, the author puts forward a variation on the greater good theodicy, which rather than suggesting that every evil … Continue reading No So Polite Conversation – a “new” failed theodicy

Is God an Abuser?
a good post about how gods, especially the Christian god, has all of the marks of any abusive partner or parent. " The moral character of the Christian God is the question which eventually led me away from Christianity. After a decade of non-belief, I still can’t help but look back to the time when … Continue reading Is God an Abuser?
what the boss *loves* – when a trumpee website is its own best satire
Oh dear, there is a website called "The Conservateur" which is trying so very hard to lie about the vain not very bright trumpee women. One doesn't even have to change the writing to make it utter satire (which is, yep, protected by US law). Now, I know, you'll say, "Vel, this has to be … Continue reading what the boss *loves* – when a trumpee website is its own best satire
What the Boss *doesn’t* like – whee, I have Covid
So, I've joined millions in getting Covid. So far, just a cough, a headache, slight sore throat and runny nose. The only one happy about this is one pesky cat named Hera who is taking advantage of me sitting still. My lines are nice and strong, which may mean I'm more infectious than some. Ugh. … Continue reading What the Boss *doesn’t* like – whee, I have Covid
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – it’s great fun when a Catholic lies
Well, let’s see what false things a Christian has come up with now. There is a rather nasty Catholic, Trent, who is on Youtube, who has no problem lying and failing in this video "5 Atheist Double Standards". Again, this is pretty much a typing exercise for me, to waste some time at work since … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – it’s great fun when a Catholic lies
What the Boss Likes – a gods war, via football
okay, this is bizarre. It seems that there is an "Imhotep Charter" school here in PA and they beat a Catholic school in american football. seems like we have a gods war on our hands. Might have to donate to them to get a Sekhmet gals team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCDrsAqfd5s

Not So Polite Conversation – “Catholic of Honor” tries to refute a post of mine, hilarity to follow
This is a long slog, so fair warning. Not much here is that new when it comes to counter apologetics. I just was amusing myself in responding. Always good to see a Catholic who has decided to respond to my posts. He didn’t bother reading anything else on my blog, including my introduction. So he … Continue reading Not So Polite Conversation – “Catholic of Honor” tries to refute a post of mine, hilarity to follow
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A Christian prays for a miracle for me
So, last post was about Jon over at nonviolentchristians. He has now claimed the following:" ClubSchadenfreude said, “not up to us to disprove miracles. It is up to you to show that they do occur. Unsurprisingly, you can’t.” I have experienced miracles. I know they are real. One scientific survey conducted by Barna Research found … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A Christian prays for a miracle for me
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yet one more Christian makes false statements about atheists
Jon Kauffman, over on Nonviolent Christians, has made more false claims about atheists. This is nothing new for many Christians and they do violence to the truth. This is my response. "Atheists Fail to Defend Their Position." Funny how atheists defend their positions often, including me. Now, why would you lie that we don't, Jon? … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yet one more Christian makes false statements about atheists
