Two common subjects on this blog are false statements made by theists, particularly many Christians, and the claims that the United States of American is a "Christian" nation. This July, a TrueChristian business, Hobby Lobby, took it upon themselves to again run a large ad in major newspapers on July 4th claiming that the US … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a lovely detailed review of “Christian Nation” claims

The atheist is the most fortunate person
A good friend of mine has addressed yet another Christian spreading lies about how awful atheists have it. Indeed, this Christian is sure that atheists feel no love or gratitude which of course is rather pitiful nonsense. Please enjoy! The atheist is the most fortunate person.
From the Kitchen and from the Bar – Steak and beers
Steak and beer, the classic American experience. Might be the classic Australian one too. One of the benefits of working in the meat department of a very large grocery store is that I can get very nice cuts of meat. No employee discount but I can have a fellow employee weigh me out my chosen … Continue reading From the Kitchen and from the Bar – Steak and beers
From the Bar – some new wines and beers
We’ve tried some new wines and beers recently. One does need fortification when dealing with endless silliness in this blog’s comments. No, don't go look. You'll regret it 🙂 First wine up is Covey Run Red Blend. We both like red blends since you can get exactly what the wine maker wants rather than depending on … Continue reading From the Bar – some new wines and beers
What the Boss Likes – More hate mail readings, this time hate mail to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation
This is absolutely hilarious, perhaps even funnier and more VILE and TrueChristian than the hate mail readings for the FFRF: http://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/2013/07/mrff-hate-mail-readings-chapter-1-of-more-to-come/ It is very much NOT SAFE FOR WORK or anyone who doesn't have cast iron ears. Parents, you are warned! Always good to have TrueChristians wishing "extremely painful rectal cancer" on others. 🙂 Gee, … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – More hate mail readings, this time hate mail to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Do something about it
Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation has an excellent article on "uncivil" civil rights activism: No Pleasure Ride on a Unicorn: The case for "uncivil" civil rights activism". As repeat readers will know, I advocate for being the "rough men" that do their best to stand up and defend everyone's rights. The pertinent … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Do something about it
From the Kitchen – Pineapple upside down cake, crabby peppers, etc
This post is to catch up on what I’ve been cooking. We did watch a movie this weekend with a meal, but it was the Brain from Planet Arous, a classically bad movie but one of the first, if not the first, that had aliens taking over human bodies. Something that appeals to my Trekkiness … Continue reading From the Kitchen – Pineapple upside down cake, crabby peppers, etc
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The seasonal blooming of creationism, it’s school time!
The school year is about to start in Pennsylvania and of course the creationists are in bloom. How appropriate that our current wannabee theocrat is named Rep. Stephen Bloom, a state representative who wants his religion’s creation story taught as science (here’s his website, and it has an auto play ad on it thanks to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The seasonal blooming of creationism, it’s school time!
What the Boss Likes – Rep. Tammy Duckworth doing what legislators should do
US Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D - Illinois) does a wonderful job at taking down someone who is trying to scam the VA and US citizens. Rep. Duckworth has lost both legs and may lose her arm from injuries serving as a real soldier. The horrible person she is addressing, Castillo, turned his ankle in a military … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Rep. Tammy Duckworth doing what legislators should do
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – So, if I agree to a possible historical Jesus, then what?
In the interminable comments on some of my blog posts, we have been hashing out the idea of a historical Jesus. I prefer the mythicist approach (basically 'religious telephone' as per the cartoon, but with various guys) but Christians are trying every so hard to get me to agree that Jesus was historical. Why, I have no idea … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – So, if I agree to a possible historical Jesus, then what?
