I generally don’t blog about abortion rights. I find abortion to be a stupid thing to be used for birth control, but sometimes it’s the only option and it’s everyone’s right to control their own body and choose the healthcare that they want. Of course, some people don’t think that’s so. They think it is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Congratulations, Ireland
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a bit of nostalgia and still no effects from prayers by professionals
Way back in September 2014, I offered a challenge to a professional Christian and self-proclaimed prophet, Bill Keller. This was about the challenge he offered to a Muslim leader regarding that old testament contest in 1 Kings 18. Now during that interaction, I was promised that I would be prayed for. He of course ran away … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a bit of nostalgia and still no effects from prayers by professionals
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – We ate that apple or did we?
Recently, I found a post on another blog about what Christians could learn from atheists. This was on a blog for self-described millennial Christians. It was an article written by John Garay, who has his own blog. It was an interesting post, with some honest compliments but most the usual claims of how “rebellious” atheists … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – We ate that apple or did we?
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 … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – reblogging a Christian bit of nonsense: The meaning of meaninglessness
What the Boss Likes – my adventures in alcohol ink art
I'll be the first one to tell you I don't have much in the way of artistic skills. I've tried piano when I was little, and never got it. My grandmother and great aunt tried their best to teach me how to crochet and tat and I was an abysmal failure at those. I can … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – my adventures in alcohol ink art
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Exodus redux
Lest anyone think that I have only issues with Christianity, here is the link to the first part of my Exodus series. I look at the strange story of the exodus in the bible. Passover is based on the idea of putting blood on doorways to avoid being killed by the angel of a supposedly … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Exodus redux
What the Boss Likes – Don’t forget to visit ThinkGeek today!
The best nerdy things! https://www.thinkgeek.com/ In case you aren't familiar with this, on April Fool's Day, some of the things are real and some aren't. This led to the famous (or infamous) tauntaun sleeping bag becoming reality. I, of course, want them all!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – FFRF’s Blog “Easter fools, April Fools and Jesus’ pundits”
FFRF has done a good blog on the nonsense of Easter. I'm looking forward to the live broadcast of Jesus Christ Superstar on NBC tomorrow night. I love the music and it is a good story. It also is a great demonstration that the easter stories in the bible contradict each other quite a bit. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – FFRF’s Blog “Easter fools, April Fools and Jesus’ pundits”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – So, did anyone see that film crew for the talent show on the National Mall?
Per a story covered in various media outlets, the March for Our Lives was prevented from being on the National Mall by a "small student grout filming a talent show". As far as I know, this group was never identified. The march was held anyway, and indeed, considering how sloppy the Mall would be after … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – So, did anyone see that film crew for the talent show on the National Mall?
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a lovely quote about followers of gods
"Of course, if one had played more RPGs, one would have realized that shacking up with people whose goal is "fulfill the ancient prophecies so that my dead god might rule once more over the earth, and cull those not among our cult" is rarely a good idea." - from some well spoken person on … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a lovely quote about followers of gods
