I’ve encountered a few very different Christians recently. We have Dave, a pastor, who believes in diversity, but also believes that Christianity supports violence as long as they benefit; Rina who says that she must take everything in the bible literally because if you don’t, what is to stop you from finding a resurrected dead … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – three different Christians and questions answered

What the Boss Likes – a symbol for being kind
Legend, and reality appears to agree, says during the Great Depression, itinerant workers e.g. hoboes, would let each other know about the conditions of the road and towns that they passed through by using a language of signs. 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. They all declare that they are “for life”, aka against abortion and birth control. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – wannabee theocrats marching in DC today

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “alternative facts” and that tie…
It is no surprise that Trump is having a tantrum over the fact that it was noted that the audience for his inauguration was quite a bit smaller than other inaugurations. He was so taken aback that the truth was told that he dishonored men and women who have died in service to this country … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “alternative facts” and that tie…
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the lying lips of a prince
We’re deep in it now. The sad little orange man has been inaugurated thanks to the ignorant and fearful and greedy who have sold their honor and responsibility for false promises. Update: The women's march is doing quite well. Poor Donnie, he doesn't react well to reality. What will TwitterFuhrer do? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/21/us/womens-march.htm ( I don't know … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the lying lips of a prince
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – 960,000 tons of what?
I’ve been crossing swords with a particularly tenacious Christian, “scientific christian” (you already know where things are going with that screen name) and the discussion has gone far and wide, though mostly staying around the idea of having evidence supports one’s claims. My apologies for anyone who commented in that thread and has thus been … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – 960,000 tons of what?
Not Polite Dinner Conversation – “The Snow is Very Dirty”
This is the warning they have in Beijing, don't touch the snow, it's polluted. "“We suggest everybody stays indoors,” Beijing’s Meteorological Bureau said in an announcement obtained by TIME. “The snow is very dirty! The snow is very dirty! The snow is very dirty!” This was what the US was like pre Clean Air Act. I … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – “The Snow is Very Dirty”
