"Mariah Walton’s voice is quiet – her lungs have been wrecked by her illness, and her respirator doesn’t help. But her tone is resolute. “Yes, I would like to see my parents prosecuted.” Why? “They deserve it.” She pauses. “And it might stop others.” Mariah is 20 but she’s frail and permanently disabled. She has … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – modern medicine would have helped – religious parents who harm and kill their kids (alas, again)

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Here we go again in PA, TrueChristians hiding behind nationalism
In their ritual of showing off how virtuous they are, some PA representatives are trying to again force their version of their religion on others in HB 1640, aka "National Motto Display Act". The sponsoring representative is Chris Dush (such a name, miserable to grow up with and certainly appropriate now). The rest of the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Here we go again in PA, TrueChristians hiding behind nationalism
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – what has become the annual easter post
Here we are again at that time of year where two religions celebrate that people die and die for no reason other than the mythic stories need to declare just how important believers are and how important it is to blindly obey the god they’ve invented. Rather than celebrate how humanity has risen and achieved, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – what has become the annual easter post
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – breaking an oath
It seems that the Republicans in the Senate only want to pay attention to the US Constitution when convenient for them. To refuse to accept a nominee from the US President just because they don't like it is very unconstitutional. They are refusing do to the job they swore to do. It's pretty damn amusing when they do … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – breaking an oath
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: an excellent essay on why a new atheist has come to the correct conclusion, written by a TrueChristian
A Christian that I have had a chance to cross swords with, Lyle Duell, has written one of the best essays on why a new atheist has made the right decision. This is, of course, rather inadvertently on his part, or at least I suspect so. Once upon a time, one could comment on Mr. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: an excellent essay on why a new atheist has come to the correct conclusion, written by a TrueChristian
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Smells worse than a wet wookie – spoiler alert
Just got back from The Force Awakens. We’d waited a bit to see the movie since we don’t like crowds. Alas, that didn’t help in this instance, the theatre was near full on a Monday afternoon (a US holiday). I do wish I had waited longer. It stunk like a dianoga. Spoilers are below. Yes, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Smells worse than a wet wookie – spoiler alert
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a Marvel-ous morality
I've been having some discussions with Christians on morality. They certainly are sure that their morality and only theirs is divinely approved. This chunk of comic (when Beta Ray Bill was wielding Mjolnir, aka Meow-Meow, in the Thor comics), is a good antidote to such nonsense. And found Thor's Hammer kittens on etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/168518362/mew-mew-mjolnir-kitty-small?ref=shop_home_active_4 Far … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a Marvel-ous morality
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – thanks, Jerry – how a TrueChristian demonstrates the contradictions between Christians and Christianity
Recently, we've found that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, especially when it comes to being an idiot. Jerry Falwell, Jr., son of failed prophet Jerry Falwell, and head of Liberty University, has said the following: "“It just blows my mind when I see that the president of the United States [says] that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – thanks, Jerry – how a TrueChristian demonstrates the contradictions between Christians and Christianity
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – keeping the door open
It’s a shame what a lot of Americans are advocating now, that we ignore the desperate and do exactly what the Muslim fundamentalists want us to do, be fearful, selfish twits. It is no surprise that it is the Republicans and Tea Party (haven’t heard that term in a while, eh?) who are cowards and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – keeping the door open
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ’tis the season
The “war on Christmas” has arisen once again. One would think that the TrueChristians™ here in the States would just stop, because every year, there is nothing accomplished but making themselves look like complete idiots. Schadenfreude is always great when someone causes their own problems. Take the Starbucks nonsense for instance… Happily many Christians have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ’tis the season
