What the Boss Likes – conservative idiots here in PA

I live in Pennsylvania here in the US. We're a battleground state since one of our senators, a QOP Republican, isn't running again. So we have a bunch of carpetbaggers trying to claim they are from Pennsylvania and are trying to be Trumpier than Trump. One of those is the medical shill Mehmet Oz, a … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – conservative idiots here in PA →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christians are atheists too

I, and many other atheists, have pointed out to theists that they are atheists too.   They simply don’t believe in other gods, often for reasons just like I do: there is no evidence.  They often get upset by this revelation, since it neuters their common attacks on atheists e.g. atheists are those scary communists, etc.Nothing … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christians are atheists too →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – lying is no problem for a conservative Christian who want to claim persecution

This is about a case going to the Supreme Court of the United States. https://freethoughtnow.org/misinformation-and-religious-privilege-at-the-supreme-court/"The case, Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, involves a Washington public high school football coach, Joe Kennedy, who wants to be able to pray publicly with students. Kennedy had a long history of leading his players in prayer, in the locker room … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – lying is no problem for a conservative Christian who want to claim persecution →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and yet again a Christian fails in their claims of what makes someone leave their religion

A fellow in my home state, Mark Farnham, from a relatively close by bible college, has decided to make a list of why people have left his religion.  And of course it’s the same baseless claims, and ignorance.  He has this nonsense on a rather vehement evangelical conservative Christian website called “Sharper Iron”, and claims … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and yet again a Christian fails in their claims of what makes someone leave their religion →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – prophecy nonsense

The Associated Press has an article about the magical nonsense invoked by Christians, specifically the Pope. Way back when, there was the Fatima nonsense, where people saw Mary floating around and giving prophecies. Now, again, its being claimed to be "fulfilled" which is always rather silly since it apparently has already been claimed to have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – prophecy nonsense →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Wintery Knight got something right

Wintery Knight isn't the sharpest knife when it comes to apologists. But he did get one thing right."We should do a better job of that to set expectations. People grow up thinking God’s job us to make them happy and popular." Yep, they have to manage expectations since their god fails despite its promises. 13 … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Wintery Knight got something right →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a new pair of apologists

I found a new blog with a pair of Christian gals who want to address us atheists, agnostics and non-christians. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be very aware of counter apologetics and may regret what they've started. They seem nice enough, but terribly ignorant. We'll see how this goes. Here's a response to one of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a new pair of apologists →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yet one more list of questions for atheists that fails

This is a list of 29 (!) questions from a family of apologists that style themselves the AIIA Institute (such a lovely appeal to authority attempt. Anyone can start an “institute”).  I found out about them since they took out a full-page ad in Yankee Magazine (a regional tourism, etc magazine for the northeast US).  … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yet one more list of questions for atheists that fails →
