For the last few weeks I have been debating with a Christian about the kalam cosmological argument (KCA). This is the philosophical argument that says: Everything that has a beginning of its existence has a cause of its existence; The universe has a beginning of its existence; Therefore: The universe has a cause of its … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the Kalam Cosmological Argument, part 1

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Free speech here in PA restricted because God will be offended. Yep, Metcalfe is at it again.
Well, there are more amazing attempt to make Pennsylvania a theocracy. Thanks to a friend of mine bringing this to my attention, we now can report on Christians wanting to block free speech because their god will feel bad. Not much of a god if us puny humans can bother a supposedly omniscient, omnipotent and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Free speech here in PA restricted because God will be offended.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cue wailing, gnashing of teeth
If it hasn’t started already, we can expect much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Predictions of “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria”. All because the prayers of so many TrueChristians have not been heeded by a imaginary deity and they did not get their way. In case you haven’t heard, the Supreme … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cue wailing, gnashing of teeth
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Atheists are citizens too, thanks to FFRF help
The Freedom From Religion Foundation (of which I am proudly a member) has helped a woman in her efforts to become an American citizen. Margaret Doughty was pursuing citizenship through naturalization. She hit a roadblock when the US immigration service tried to claim that she needed to join a church, no other religion was mentioned and she … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Atheists are citizens too, thanks to FFRF help
Not Polite Dinner Conversation – On the front of forcing personal religion onto others, we have a couple of stories in the news
A political figure has cracked down on alcohol consumption and the media. A political figure has decided that he and he alone will determine if a woman can have an abortion paid for by Medicaid, a man who has no medical education at all and who will be deciding based on his personal opinion. More … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – On the front of forcing personal religion onto others, we have a couple of stories in the news
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Euthanasia, atheists in “foxholes” and my cat
(if it is too much to read about another person’s grief for the reader, I would suggest you skip this post.) Today I had to have my one cat euthanized, a polite word for having to have my cat killed because it was the best decision of a lot of bad ones. I’ve read that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Euthanasia, atheists in “foxholes” and my cat
Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Pulpit Freedom Sunday is back and I’m glad!
This coming Sunday is “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” where some Christians have decreed a day where they can speak their minds about various issues from the pulpit and thus from a position of authority. And indeed, I am glad that they have made it so easy to watch just how Christians don’t agree on much of … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Pulpit Freedom Sunday is back and I’m glad!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Prayers have failed: Bachmann is out and our own local wannabee theocrat, plus the Pope
Seeing Michele Bachmann deliberately lying on TV makes me feel all warm and cozy inside. Few things should do more to show how religion doesn't make a person a decent, humane, human being, and it sure doesn’t keep them from breaking every rule in their very own religion. Like so many politicians who get caught … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Prayers have failed: Bachmann is out and our own local wannabee theocrat, plus the Pope
Not So Pleasant Dinner Conversation – Juries, etc (Postzilla) part 2
Rather than having one mega post, here is part 2 of the post about juries, etc. Part one is here. I have said that there are only stories that Paul existed as claimed. That includes his supposed conversion. I can also say that there are only stories that Simon Magus flew around since that also … Continue reading Not So Pleasant Dinner Conversation – Juries, etc (Postzilla) part 2

this post has been split into two parts. part 2 can be found here.) Sorry for the hiatus on the blog, everyone. I thought I might address one of the comments on one of the other blog entries since there are some interesting claims by a Christian apologist and a blog entry is more … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Juries, sources and what the gospels has to say about 500 witnsses among other things (aka Postzilla part 1)
