Not Polite Dinner Conversation – That “evidence” including the best one “sincere believers”

The next post by Silverswiper (SS) on Ben’s blog are even worse claims of “evidence” than the first two.  All of these seem to come from an inability to think like someone who isn’t a Christian.   SS also goes right to WLC’s claims despite claiming he is not using them. The first two claims of evidence … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – That “evidence” including the best one “sincere believers” →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – More intentional lies from TrueChristians who are also state legislators here in Pennsylvania, also known as “nothing is new”

Being the excellent examples of how religion makes no one a better person, we now have Pennsylvania legislators introducing yet another useless House Resolution full of intentional lies in their continued attempts to play pretend that their version of Christianity is the state religion of the United States.  This resolution is HR 306 and unsurprisingly, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – More intentional lies from TrueChristians who are also state legislators here in Pennsylvania, also known as “nothing is new” →

What the Boss Likes – A real astronaut singing “A Space Oddity” in space

Here is Commander Chris Hadfield (Canada) singing David Bowie's A Space Oddity (with a few words changed) at the International Space Station.   All done thanks to the hard work of science.   I first heard A Space Oddity riding in the back of my parents' car when I was around 11 or so.  I thought it was so sad … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – A real astronaut singing “A Space Oddity” in space →

Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Yep, just as I thought, nothing new as “evidence”

Ben, the current Christian to visit these pages with his claims, has declared that he has evidence that Jesus Christ, the son of his god and the supposed savior of humankind existed.  He has directed me to a series of guest posts on his blog that supposedly contain this evidence (this post will deal with … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Yep, just as I thought, nothing new as “evidence” →

From the Kitchen – Pot Stickers and Bagels: nope they have nothing in common that I can think of….

Since I now have a fair amount of free time, I have been back in the kitchen trying out some recipes that I’ve wanted to try but was too nervous about to waste a weekend day on. A while ago, I made bao (steamed buns) from Andrea Nguyen’s Asian Dumplings. The next recipe I had … Continue reading From the Kitchen – Pot Stickers and Bagels: nope they have nothing in common that I can think of…. →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Basic beliefs, Christians and atheists arguments aren’t that different

Here is the second part of the second part.  This part is more about what “basic beliefs” are and how one argues against them. Ben doesn’t think Paul was forced to be a Christian and does acknowledge that other  Christians will disagree.  And again, we have Christians who can’t agree, can’t show that they are … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Basic beliefs, Christians and atheists arguments aren’t that different →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “expectations” of evidence or how presupposition can really screw you up

The following is my response to Ben’s comment on the Part 2 part of my interactions with him.  This was the one about the evidence that Christians apologists think they have for their god.  We got a bit off topic in the comments but it’s worth a post on its own.  My response has gotten … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “expectations” of evidence or how presupposition can really screw you up →

Not Polite Dinner Conversation – I’m free! and more on definitions of “god”

Since I’ve been out of the loop for a few days, I thought I’d do a whole post on the comments that have been offered in defense of theism, religion and Christianity that I haven’t addressed yet. Right now, I’m no longer among the ranks of the working for a while (had an interview for … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – I’m free! and more on definitions of “god” →

What the Boss Likes – a small hiatus and some cool things

Since I'm wrapping up my last two days of work at my current position, I'll be taking a little longer to answer replies.  I should be back to normal (or a reasonable facsimile) shortly. A couple cool things.  John Paulk, the posterboy for the lies about "ex-gay" therapy, has admitted that he's lied about being "ex-gay" … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a small hiatus and some cool things →
