This from the Pew Foundation: "The virus also has impacted Americans’ religious behaviors. More than half of all U.S. adults (55%) say they have prayed for an end to the spread of coronavirus. Large majorities of Americans who pray daily (86%) and of U.S. Christians (73%) have taken to prayer during the outbreak – but … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christian prayers don’t work again, news at at 11

What the Boss Likes – some improvements to what the PA Department of Health says about masks
The PA Department of Health has some info on masks. They have a basic bit of instruction on masks and then they refer people to the NYT instructions. Both, from my opinion as someone who has worn PPE and who sews, are lacking. Let me tell you what I think should be done. This is … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – some improvements to what the PA Department of Health says about masks
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – just in case you weren’t completely sure that conservative Christians were inhumane
Shilled by Ken Ham of the failed Ark museum and the Creation museum, we have this prize. If you don't want to click, here's a screen capture of their vileness.

Haden, over at Helpmebelieve.com, has done a great job at showing just what some Christians will do to gain power. Haden, unsurprisingly, is a Trumpie. Nothing new is here. Pretty much every Trumpie will make the same excuses. As some of you might know, the editor of Christianity Today, a magazine started by the Billy … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a Christian’s excuse for supporting an anti-christ aka Trump

Not So Polite Dinner Conservation – Those magi, and yay, a child is destined to be killed
On the road, over two thousand years ago Balthasar: hey guys, I was doing up that kid’s astrology chart. Caspar: what kid’s? Melchior: You know, that one who is going to be king of the Jews one day, you gave the myrrh. Caspar: Oh yeah. What about him?
