A common false claim by many Christians has to do with Darwin and evolutionary theory. They want to so desperately conflate Social Darwinism with evolutionary theory, in order to try to scare people from accepting evolutionary theory and realizing that the bible is nothing different from any other silly set of myths. I found this … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – you’d think conservative Christians would know better than to lie
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique Part 3
Part Three – “A Mind-Boggling Proposition” yeah, it’s really called that. So, in addition to the latest bit of nonsense from Lee Strobel about Christmas, I also got an email from another shilling preacher from biblegateway.com about the Jews. Now, I find Jewish belief just as ridiculous as Christian or any other belief but the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique Part 3
What the Boss Likes: Snow!
Well, here I am waiting for the big storm that is supposed to descend upon us on Wednesday. We're supposed to get between 12" and 30" of snow, 30.5 to 76 cm for my friends out in the world that use a sensible measuring system. So, I've laid in things to cook with. Hmmm, pierogis? … Continue reading What the Boss Likes: Snow!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique part 2
Part Two – Beneath the Fake News So, here we have week two of the “case for Christmas” and unsurprisingly, we have a conservative Christian using Bumbling Idiot Donnie’s favorite lie. Per Lee, Christmas has been “victimized” by fake news. Amazing how a supposedly omnipotent character just can’t do a thing about us puny humans, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique part 2
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ooops, they said the quiet part out loud
I ran across this post today "There are consequences for evangelists' blind support of Donald Trump. Here's what to expect in a post-Trump America." I captured it on a There are consequences for evangelists as a word doc since I'm suspecting that the Christians might take it down. One might think it is a spoof … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ooops, they said the quiet part out loud
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique Part 1
Part One – Setting the Record Straight Well, Lee has quite a challenge here since the story of the birth of Jesus Christ, and therefore Christmas, is certainly quite a mess. We have two gospels that just ignore it, two that have the details everyone knows but are contradictory and Paul who has seems to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique Part 1
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” – preview of a critique
Being completely bored, I signed up for Bible Gateway’s shilling of Lee Strobel’s new book “The Case for Christmas”. I figured this will at least give me something to do and give me a few posts for this blog. The videos are free, but they really, really want you to buy the books. Unsurprisingly, this … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” – preview of a critique
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – as expected Christians who supported Trump now insist that they never did
As some of my readers might remember, I've clashed with John Branyan and his rather peculiar daughter Amanda before. They were all for Trump, how great he was, how Amanda voted for him and how dare anyone point out how much he was a failure. We can see that right here "On behalf of your … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – as expected Christians who supported Trump now insist that they never did
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yet one more TrueChristian(tm) offers a “challenge” to atheists and fails
So, we have a Christian, Andy Bannister, who wants to ask “Why are some atheists so afraid of changing their minds?”. This is a video, and of course, the comments are turned off. So much for being the "confident" Christians that Solas claims on their website, eh? Unsurprisingly, the video starts off with the usual … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yet one more TrueChristian(tm) offers a “challenge” to atheists and fails
What the Boss Likes – a photo I forgot, the bounty of my garden
Here is my gardening result: I got a Click and Grow garden from eBay for around $40 US. It's become more of a catnip source for my legion of cats.
