It’s been a while since I posted about food. We usually cook for fun on weekends and things have come up on weekends since about mid-March, when we both got the flu and have continued until this weekend, when my folks visited. The one thing that was cooked, and by my spouse, are a couple … Continue reading From the kitchen – tasty things to do with refrigerated pizza dough

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Moving the goalposts, prayer as a weapon, ignoring questions and the usual theist nonsense
Well, I finally have some time to write a blog post. Between work, and painting, and simply being disgusted with the world, I put this off. I did do a couple of craft shows with my alcohol ink paintings and I sold one thing on Etsy. Made back my entrance fee and then some, so … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Moving the goalposts, prayer as a weapon, ignoring questions and the usual theist nonsense
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: An article “Complex societies gave birth to big gods, not the other way around: study”
from an article on phys.org (one of my favorite science article compiling sites) "An international research team, including a member of the Complexity Science Hub Vienna, investigated the role of "big gods" in the rise of complex large-scale societies. Big gods are defined as moralizing deities who punish ethical transgressions. Contrary to prevailing theories, the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: An article “Complex societies gave birth to big gods, not the other way around: study”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Anti-Israel isn’t anti-Semitic
While I’m still dealing with influenza (I always forget just how horrible it makes you feel (and to see why you do feel horrible see here)) , I thought I’d do a post about the current religious nonsense here in the US. We have conservative Christians having a tizzy that a US representative criticizes the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Anti-Israel isn’t anti-Semitic
What the Boss Likes – more of my alcohol ink art
Hello from under Winter Storm Petra! We have about 5 inches of snow and we're supposed to get ice on top of that. If you've been following my blog, you may know that I dabble in art, specific alcohol inks. Here are two pieces. The top is a lap / bed tray (the kind … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – more of my alcohol ink art
What the Boss Likes – welcome a most unusual looking follower of this website
Let us all welcome "The Majesty's Men", a Christian website that seems be, well, interesting. This is from their gravatar page. Their website hasn't been verified by ICANN yet. They do have quite a nice logo, if rather a bit over the top, something like I'd expect in a Dan Brown novel or perhaps on … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – welcome a most unusual looking follower of this website
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a handful of quick dismantlements of common theist claims
This was bouncing around in my head while I couldn’t sleep last night. The claim that atheists *must* be nihilists or aren’t being atheists “correctly” – this fails since “dude”, and WLC (William Lane Craig, a very inept conservative Christian apologist and philosopher), have yet to show that subjective morality or meaning in life is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a handful of quick dismantlements of common theist claims
From the Kitchen – Cake, bread and bad tv
This weekend was another cooking weekend. Here in the US, we have a three day weekend this weekend for President’s Day, a holiday that was to cover both Washington’s and Lincoln’s birthdays. In addition to beef stew (our recipe can be found here), I made a lemon chiffon cake and also tried a new bread … Continue reading From the Kitchen – Cake, bread and bad tv
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – And we still haven’t heard a “clear logical defense of Christianity”
(as always, if you follow me for food, wine and art posts, you may want to skip this post. Any “not polite dinner conversation” posts are about politics and religion) I haven’t poked fun at Christian attacking their fellows as being wrong in a while. It’s such a good way to know that Christianity is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – And we still haven’t heard a “clear logical defense of Christianity”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – us atheists haven’t heard a “clear logical defense of Christianity”??
As my title says us atheists haven't heard a "clear logical defense of Christianity". At least that's what good ol' Ray Comfort says. He wants Christians, and atheists, to come to his failing Ark and listen to what he claims to be this unicorn, since, no, there isn't any such thing as a "clear logical … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – us atheists haven’t heard a “clear logical defense of Christianity”??
