Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – not so “clever” as a theist might think

A rather silly Christian had the below on their blog.  This is a Christian who is also sure that essential oils do magic and that zyto scanning machines work.  They work as well as the e-meter that Scientologists use to look at your alien ghosts that are attached to you aka not at all.  The … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – not so “clever” as a theist might think →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christians say the darndest things

This is something I have to preserve for posterity.  A Christian told me this: "Trying to cast a disagreement as a lie is symptomatic of primitive thinking. Look, there is no consensus among atheists that atheism is merely a lack of belief in a god. If atheism is merely a lack of belief in a … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christians say the darndest things →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – answering “Answering Atheism’s Questions Part 1: Is God’s Character Abusive?”

Is the Christian god abusive? Well, that depends on which version since each Christian comes up with one they create in their own image.  The author of the blog post I'm addressing does want to claim that his version isn't an abuser. Generally, abusive would mean “ using or involving physical violence or emotional cruelty” … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – answering “Answering Atheism’s Questions Part 1: Is God’s Character Abusive?” →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – more low hanging creationist fruit

Fruit. See what I did there?  😀 Unsurprisingly, Ray Comfort, the fellow who thinks oranges are evidence for his version of the Christian god, is now trying to glom onto actual science again and insisting paleontology shows his myths are true. And of course he’s trying to make money from repacking the same old creationist … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – more low hanging creationist fruit →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Now Oranges are evidence of the conservative Christian god

Yep, thanks to Ray Comfort, oranges are evidence of his version of the Christian god:   Of course no Christian can do miracles like Jesus Christ, Son of God. But heck, we should believe oranges are evidence of this god, just like bananas. Screw the amputees, screw the cancer patients, oranges are evidence of God. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Now Oranges are evidence of the conservative Christian god →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh the arguments over imaginary friends

This blog is quite bemusing.   Abrahamists are after each other on whose version of their god is right: https://bloggingtheology.com/2019/09/02/islam-jack-chick-and-the-battle-for-souls-your-best-life It does come down to "My imaginary god is the right one. No, mine is! Your holy book is contradictory. No, yours is." The blog is a great example of how theists use the same arguments … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh the arguments over imaginary friends →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when Christians lie about mental illness

Often a theist, usually a Christian, will claim that since they do no harm, why do I attack their claims.  Well, this is why, when a Christian lies about mental health and mental illness.  When their claims will harm someone.  Ray Comfort and his cult now try to make claims about depression, something that many … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when Christians lie about mental illness →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – where I show just how nerdy I am when it comes to magic and religion

And now for something completely different. I tinker at writing sword and sorcery fiction. The milieu allows for some interesting thoughts about how gods and magic and mortals interact. This is a snippet about how gods, religion and magic work out. The setting is a pair of classic D&D type characters (mage and thief) in … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – where I show just how nerdy I am when it comes to magic and religion →
