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”
The new Natural Theology dismantled
Another quickie post until I get a chance to sit down and really respond. Dr. Coyne's observations on an excellent destruction of "natural theology" aka the claim we can see some god (usually the Christian god though Christians often try to hide their god under an avalanche of vagueness) in reality. Please note the comments … Continue reading The new Natural Theology dismantled
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
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A bit about the term “respect”
One thing I see a lot of is that a lot of theists demand respect for their religion. What I think is happening is that a lot of theists think that respect means the same as politeness, consideration and tolerance. It doesn’t, at least not all of the time, or we wouldn’t need those other … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A bit about the term “respect”
What the Boss Likes – Dungeons and Dragons….and Pat Robertson making a fool of himself again
Good ol’ Pat is beating the drum about Dungeons and Dragons again and how this game has “literally destroyed people’s lives”. Ah, Pat, we can always count on you for a good lie for Jesus! I’m sure that Pat is feverishly pawing at his Chick tracts (absolutely ludicrous Christian tracts that tell a number of … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Dungeons and Dragons….and Pat Robertson making a fool of himself again
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A new Christian apologist – Part 2 the “evidence”
Now onto Part 2 – the “evidence” I’ll address the evidence that Ben has claimed for the existence of his God. 1. Arguments of natural theology – the existence of the universe, the beginning of the universe, the intuitive reality of moral facts, the human phenomenon of consciousness, the existed of human reason, the apparent … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A new Christian apologist – Part 2 the “evidence”
