Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: More TrueChristians™ acting like idiots, and a painting

This has been a week for me running into all sorts of TrueChristians™.   They certainly do run the gamut of being just thoroughly unpleasant people. I frequently kibbitz on the Washington Post facebook page (and at the WaPo site itself).   I also comment on ThinkProgress’s facebook page. I’m Jane R@venswood there, an old email address … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: More TrueChristians™ acting like idiots, and a painting →

From the Kitchen: Mole, and a picture of a feline pieta

Hello my followers, Thanks for following.  This is a quick post of our tasty meal from last weekend and me with one of our new boys. We made chicken mole last weeked.  Very tasty and yep, it's from a Martha Stewart recipe, but we like it. I have learned to make corn tortillas (with a … Continue reading From the Kitchen: Mole, and a picture of a feline pieta →

we make an agreement with sorrow

I just buried my oldest kitty. Even though I’m an atheist, I wrapped her in white linen and tucked a few toys in with her. One can always indulge in thinking that there is a less than omnipotent goddess Sekhmet looking after my furry companions. What could be better, cats and drinking beer with a … Continue reading we make an agreement with sorrow →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when you just can’t good help these days

A rather extraordinarily deceitful anti-atheist organization, the rather derivatively named Freedom from Atheism Foundation, has been my current antagonist today. I got my holiday present as a lovely example of how incompetent and deceitful some theist can choose to be.  As often occurs, the topics are familiar.  If you are usually here to look at … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when you just can’t good help these days →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – some agnostics and their curious arguments

As I've indicated on other posts, I occasionally search on the terms "atheist" and "atheism" on Wordpress's blogs.   Here I find a lot of posts by atheists, and also a lot by theists and agnostics too. Agnostics always strike me as very defensive.  They seem to think that having no position is the only position.  they also have a … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – some agnostics and their curious arguments →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the usual idiocy in the US thanks to conservative Christians

Here in the US, we certainly do have a pile of idiots who voted for a moron and now we all get to suffer for it. This week, during the remembrance services for the first president Bush, we got to see just how ridiculous it is for Christians to follow a man who has no … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the usual idiocy in the US thanks to conservative Christians →

From the kitchen and the bar: duck and wine

Sorry for the long hiatus. I am dealing with a job I don’t like, and working on my art, which I do like. I’m now an officially paid artist! It’s very weird feeling for someone who hated art teachers in elementary, high school and college because the ones I had didn’t teach art, they just … Continue reading From the kitchen and the bar: duck and wine →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cause and Effect – exhorting violence leads to violence

Well, this has been quite a week here in the US. We have had a conservative sending bombs to famous liberals from his van plastered with all of the hate that Trump has spouted, and then we have had a conservative shooting up a synagogue here in Pennsylvania. I went to college in Pittsburgh for … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cause and Effect – exhorting violence leads to violence →
