Following some links, I found this: http://areasonablefaithdotme.wordpress.com/2013/01/03/dear-atheist/ I’ve commented on it but since many Christians will not allow comments that address their claims to appear on their blogs (so much for the discussion they claim they want), I figured that I’d reproduce Caroline’s entire post here and my response. She uses a lot of the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Dear theist, you need to up your game.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billboards and Fruits
The deacon over on Alethian Worldview has a nice competition. Come up with a billboard for letting people know being an atheist is fine. As he has already noted, some boards are fine, some are nothing special and some are pretty atrocious. My entry (the crowd image is something I found on the 'net with … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billboards and Fruits
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The war on Christmas complete with friendly fire
The Daily Show already used the friendly fire analogy when Bill O'Reilly decided that Christianity wasn't a religion. Here are more self-inflicted wounds. The last few days of Doonesbury have done a great job ridiculing the “war on Christmas” nonsense spread by some Christians. But I do have to say, there might actually be a war on Christmas … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The war on Christmas complete with friendly fire
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Mom, he’s touching me!
As the days go by, I see more excuses from Christians on why their god do is hands-off when awful things happen. It’s easy for me as an atheist; there is no evidence for a god so I am not surprised when no gods show up in response to a violent event or in response to prayers of any … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Mom, he’s touching me!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My Sister In Law doesn’t hate me.
Well, my SIL says she doesn’t hate me (or my husband) and excuses her calling Harry Potter evil by saying she’s looking out for the kids and “you only have one chance”. She also says that I shouldn’t lump all Christians in with the “haters”. She finds the nonsense about backmasking silly too and is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My Sister In Law doesn’t hate me.
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – TrueChristian antics about the tragedy in Newtown
What happened in Newtown was a tragedy and horrific. It was sudden, violent and unlike what Americans like to think is “normal”. Similar things happen every day in the world, sometimes slower but still horrific. Unsuprisingly, we have TrueChristians, Bryan Fischer and Mike Huckabee (we already know he’s a horrible person and not the friendly … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – TrueChristian antics about the tragedy in Newtown
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The End of the world….or not
A lot of humans seem to be longing for the “end of the world”. Many religions have it built into them, that some god will come and take all of the believers away to a magical place after killing/damning everyone who dared not to believe in the god. The contents of said magical place vary, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The End of the world….or not
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Calling something “evil”
Sometimes you don’t know whether to laugh or cry at what people do. This Christmas I’m getting my nieces and nephews books. So, I ask sister in law in an email “what would the kids like to read about”. And she says the Hunger Games for the eldest (she also seriously suggested Bill O’Reilly’s exercises … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Calling something “evil”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pat Robertson’s excuses on why he got it wrong
Unsuprisingly, Pat Robertson is now creating excuses for why he lied about his god telling him who was going to win the presidential election. Poor Pat, I knew this would happen. "So many of us miss God. I won't get into great detail about elections but I sure did miss it. I thought I … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pat Robertson’s excuses on why he got it wrong
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Secession! and a smidgen of geology
Isn’t “pout-rage” such a great word? It fits just about anyone who takes a fit when something doesn’t go their way, from three-year olds, to theocrats who can’t watch women’s vaginas when they want to. One of the best examples of this pout-rage is the calls for secession from the United States of America. Poor … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Secession! and a smidgen of geology
