Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a fraud caught

This won't end well for the christian fraud. In case some of my overseas friends might not know, Tammy Duckworth is a US Senator, and Cooper Roberts is an unfortunate kid who got shot during a mass shooting. It'd be great if they were healed. I'm not betting on it, and frauds like this need … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a fraud caught →

What the Boss Likes – science that shows how evolution works

A nifty new bit of research about the Black Death. I've always been fascinated with that time period. This shows how there is no "good" or "bad" in evolution, only what gets the attributes passed on. My family has alpha-1 anti-trypsin deficiency, which can give you what amounts to emphysema, but they think also protected … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – science that shows how evolution works →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – christian teacher spreading her lie

Here, a gal who evidently is a teacher of some kind, is all impressed with her self in spreading a lie to one of her students. "Last night, I was surprised by the answer of my 11 year old atheist student when I asked him, “What will you do when the plane you’re in is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – christian teacher spreading her lie →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversationn – and yet another failed apologist with more lies

Yep, I'm bored. This is a response to an amazingly incompetent apologist, Mark Lanier, who supposedly is a “top” lawyer.  If he is, I certainly wouldn’t want him to represent me.   The poor dear has a new book, “Atheism on trial”.  Well, I guess he couldn’t use “evidence that demands a verdict”.  Here are excerpts … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversationn – and yet another failed apologist with more lies →

Not So Polite Conversation – the old saw that atheists have bad relationships with their parents

Always fun to see Christian liars like Stephen Bernard come out with armchair psychology and fail as usual. Here's what he claims: "Before I was ever remotely interested in anything religious I noticed something about those I engaged with in the local pubs and clubs that confessed to being atheist. Most of them being atheist … Continue reading Not So Polite Conversation – the old saw that atheists have bad relationships with their parents →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the ever shrinking religion

A new Pew report is out: "Modeling the Future of Religion in America" It comes as no surprise. Religion dies when its promises fail for 2000+ years. Of course, Christianity hasn't' been a majority religion for a long time. Each sect is sure that the others aren't Christians at all. Pity, there goes the Christian … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the ever shrinking religion →

No So Polite Conversation – a “new” failed theodicy

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 →
