I’ve been waiting for Pastor Dave to finish his series on Revelation. The part I was most interested in was how he would handle chapters 19-21, which we had discussed but where he never was willing to give me his interpretation of it. I’m very glad that he did get a chance to tell me … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: about that Revelation thing…

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – how atheism isn’t “cool” per a certain Catholic
(fair warning: if you followed my blog because of food or beer, the following is my unvarnished religious views. You may want to leave now 😊 ) I haven’t had a good target for a while to show just how silly a lot of Christians are. (I’m patiently waiting for a series about Revelation to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – how atheism isn’t “cool” per a certain Catholic
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: where we find “religious freedom” meaning no more than fear and bigotry again
Today, our not so very religious but very ignorant president of the US has signed an executive order allowing religious organizations to get more politically active. I think it is disgusting for all of the pandering by the GOP and the receiption of such pandering by TrueChristians but honestly, it’s a great thing for those … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: where we find “religious freedom” meaning no more than fear and bigotry again
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – They can’t even get egg rolling right
(as an aside, look like I was wrong about North Korea being the first tail to wag the dog in my last post, see postscript). In this atmosphere where the clown Trump and his circus are threatening the world with destruction thanks to their incompetence, one wouldn’t think that a story about the annual White … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – They can’t even get egg rolling right
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – chance of war? High
with the noose tightening around Trump regarding his contacts with Russia, and his nepotism, it is no surprise that the sabres are rattling about North Korea. http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/04/politics/white-house-north-korea-china/index.html It's a common tactic, a failing administration saying "Look, a bunny!" to get the media focus from them. Also no surprise that Trump's support of Assad in Syria … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – chance of war? High
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – No, many conservatives really are this ignorant
I haven't had a Pennsylvania politician post for a while. But oh this one deserves it in spades. Scott Wagner, a Republican (what else?) state representative from the district to the south of me, has said the following about climate change: I haven't been in a science class in a long time, but the earth … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – No, many conservatives really are this ignorant
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Why climate change is a state/church issue
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has an excellent news release on this. I am a member and I recommend that you be one too. Trump has appointed an active climate change denialist, religionist Scott Pruitt, to head the EPA. The New York Times documents in an article boldly titled "Denialists in Charge" how federal posts are now filled … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Why climate change is a state/church issue
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the flying spaghetti monster and a Christian walk into a bar…
It shouldn’t amaze me anymore, but it does. The deceit that pastors and priest practice on their flocks knows no shame. Recently, Dave, the pastor from a church in England who I have addressed before, has been on a tear to insist that atheists are wrong. As usual, an atheist can’t comment on his posts … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the flying spaghetti monster and a Christian walk into a bar…
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a new poll indicating a more secular America, and a hardening of evangelicals
The Public Religion Research Institute has come out with a new poll on the religious attitudes in the US, specifically about gender and sex: "Majority of Americans Oppose Transgender Bathroom Restrictions" It indicates that attitudes are changing, with white evangelicals losing ground for their claims of having a divine "truth". Curiously enough, this group voted … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a new poll indicating a more secular America, and a hardening of evangelicals
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – hmmm, God or Tyvek(tm)
This is Ray "Banana Man" Comfort's latest little trick Shucks, it's a tract printed on Tyvek(tm) or some similar tear-resistant material. So, poor ol' Ray has to depend on modern science to try to pretend that there is something magical happening. Funny how a pair of scissors or a nice knife can overwhelm this sad … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – hmmm, God or Tyvek(tm)
