Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – questions posed to an atheist
As I am wont to do, I was roaming about wordpress looking for silly claims about atheists by theists. While chatting with his son about another blog post, I found this list of questions by a pastor that has his church not too far from where I grew up. So I thought I'd give … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – questions posed to an atheist
What the Boss Likes – a little self-promotion
I've started an etsy store for my alcohol ink paintings, EvanescentInks. It's entirely a vanity project. 🙂 Please enjoy the images! If you would like to buy one, neat! But don't feel like you should. The image is my take on the hobo sign for kind woman, and in my instance, one with claws. I … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a little self-promotion
From the Bar – what I’ve had lately
Now to catch up on some drink I’ve had lately. Found a nice dry rosé wine from Washington state, Milbrandt 2016 Rosé. It was less than $10 at the pa wine store. I very much like Hendrick’s Gin. It has quite a different flavor profile than other gins. I like flowery alcohol (crème de violette … Continue reading From the Bar – what I’ve had lately

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Happy Fourth of July! Hobby Lobby is at it again with their 2018 ad
Unsurprisingly, we have a hobby lobby july 2018 ad (happily saved for posterity here), the folks that want to force their religion on their employees (and you) and who have no problem in depending on people working on the “Sabbath” whilst ever-so piously closing their stores on the same day. The people living under authoritarian governments … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Happy Fourth of July! Hobby Lobby is at it again with their 2018 ad
From the Kitchen – cake and some random musings
Back to some fun stuff. I found a recipe for German buttercream frosting on Serious Eats, one of my favorite food sites. This stuff is very good, not too sweet, and full of tasty tasty fat! I recently made a spice buy at Penzey's, my favorite socially concious spice merchant, and used my new vanilla … Continue reading From the Kitchen – cake and some random musings
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Yep, some Christians really are this desperate
As if you didn't think some American conservative Christians weren't crazy enough, we have this: "The question either infuriates or intrigues tens of millions of Americans: Did God play a role in the victory of Donald Trump? The debate will soon be presented in movie theaters across the country, as evangelical megaschool Liberty University is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Yep, some Christians really are this desperate
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – two questions answered
In my last post, I wrote about abortion rights. I haven’t heard anything from any abortion opponents yet to answer my questions. However, I did note that the pastor I addressed has two questions for health choice advocates to answer on his blog. Unsuprisingly, Pastor Dave does not allow comments on his website. You can … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – two questions answered
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – reblogging a Christian bit of nonsense: The meaning of meaninglessness
This post came to my attention when Pastor Mike liked this post of mine. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense that a Christian would like it, but I often encounter Christians who seem a little confused in what they profess to believe and what they actually believe.
Nothing like watching a TrueChristian(tm) do his best to bear false witness against others and have no clue about cause and effect. It’s a shame that Pastor Mike does claim to have all of the answers and claim that only his version of Christianity is the right one, with not one more shred of evidence than those who he decries. I am glad that he does admit that atheists wield logical arguments against his claims. Alas, Pastor Mike falsely believes that atheists are all nihilists and in his ignorance, he trips himself up.
No wonder that Christianity is losing members when a Christian leader demonstrates that intentional dishonesty and ignorance are what he depends on. You can see how Pastor Mike failed earlier on this blog.
Update – 4/13 One also has to wonder about Pastor Mike when he likes my post on his blog which is the following: “well, Pastor Mike, glad that a pastor agrees with my post here: https://clubschadenfreude.com/2018/02/18/not-so-polite-dinner-conversation-what-makes-christianity-christianity/ Always curious that a Christian would agree with what I’ve said, I wonder what your flock would say. As for your claims “You have kicked God out of schools, so kids are turning to insanity to imbue their lives with some semblance of the significance you robbed out of life.” For what is supposedly an omnipotent being, this poor god can be stopped by a human, per Pastor Mike. Not much of a god, is it? It’s nice to see you make such claims, when this god can’t even protect its own churches and keep its priests and pastors from abusing children, embezzling, etc right where it supposedly can get in where it wants. As usual, you are so desperate to bear false witness against others, you dont’ think your claims through.” What kind of fractured thinking goes with this? I do wonder if Pastor Mike thinks he is being sarcastic.
Actually, snorting condoms makes perfect sense. As does chewing Tide pods. Along with cutting.
After all, if there is no meaning to life, then why not engage in something meaningless? If an attempt to find value shows your stupidity, then all we have left is getting attention through stupid means.
Atheists will bristle at my mockery, but their insistence that morality is an evolved feature — along humanity’s unusual drive for significance — is absurd. There is no evolutionary sense of morality or man’s quest for importance. Deprive man of God, and you get teens snorting condoms.
And please, my dear atheist friends, don’t tell the gunman plowing down schoolchildren that he is inherently or obviously wrong. What is obvious is that there are no morals, no values, nothing. That is all atheism has to offer: nothing. There is no noble sense to humanity, no purpose, no beauty, no humanity…
