Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Did you miss the social anarchy? Cal Thomas and the usual deceit by Christian conservatives
Seems like we have a wealth of less than true comments here in the news from conservative Christians. Here in the US, the Supreme Court has essentially abdicated its responsibility and has left a series of lower court decisions to stand when it comes to the legality of same sex marriage.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – well, at least it shows that many theists are wrong again
I've been observing the current tussling in the atheosphere, about who has said what, and means what, who's a feminist, who's a sexist asshole, what women are, what men are. who's a liberal, who's a conservative, who simply can't express themselves without screwing up, etc etc. It's rather sad and annoying.
