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".

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.

Not so Polite Dinner Conversation – a day without a woman
There has been talk about the protest action “day without women” as being somehow “elitist” because not all women can take a day off work.

Vermin-in-Chief Ray Comfort, the fellow who tried to get atheists to take his book by giving out food gift certificates and was shamed in to giving said certificates to people who need food (still $7,000 unaccounted for), wants to tell his followers to tell the Jewish people that they are so very “angry” about the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a gathering of thoughts about various recent events.

If there was a chance of work, dangerous dogs, vigilant police, that could all be read in … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a symbol for being kind
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Not today
This is what happens when you don’t punch Nazis. Rather than putting up the usual pictures of pits full of starved, shot and tortured people. I thought this was more fitting. The people who were murdered in concentration camps were being harvested. This is what those who support America First wanted to allow to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Not today
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – wannabee theocrats marching in DC today
Today there is a “march for life” in Washington, DC. There are a lot of women there, who insist that they are feminists. There may be some men who also would claim this, since being a feminist isn’t limited by sex.
