The newest Bible as Conan movie candidate is “Exodus: Gods and Kings”. It’s a Cecil B. De Mille-ian event with a cast of at least digital thousands. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I have watched the Discovery Channel show that is trying to ride its coattails.

Not So Polite Dinner conversation – you’d think it was a scarecrow convention, with all of the straw men
The title's a bit of a hyperbole but I just couldn't resist using it. It’s been an interesting, if typical, week discussing gods with believers.

From the Kitchen – hey, I actually used something I put in the freezer to use “later”
Thanksgiving was quiet for us. I got a chicken, roasted it per usual and we just sat around eating, drinking, listening to music and talking.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – science proves Chrisitanity is true? Oh do tell.

We narrowed that down to pork and the something to be a mix of cheeses and various flavorings. So we got a pork loin roast (a little over a kilo), cut it into one long flat … Continue reading From the Kitchen – how things don’t quite work out like you might hope

Not So Polite Dinner Converation – nothing says divine love like deadly diseases
Someone else has to have already done something like this, but here's my version of the ebola virus and the creation painting by Michelangelo. When reality is contrasted to what many theists claim.
