The following is my response to Ben’s comment on the Part 2 part of my interactions with him. This was the one about the evidence that Christians apologists think they have for their god. We got a bit off topic in the comments but it’s worth a post on its own. My response has gotten … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “expectations” of evidence or how presupposition can really screw you up
Not Polite Dinner Conversation – I’m free! and more on definitions of “god”
Since I’ve been out of the loop for a few days, I thought I’d do a whole post on the comments that have been offered in defense of theism, religion and Christianity that I haven’t addressed yet. Right now, I’m no longer among the ranks of the working for a while (had an interview for … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – I’m free! and more on definitions of “god”
The new Natural Theology dismantled
Another quickie post until I get a chance to sit down and really respond. Dr. Coyne's observations on an excellent destruction of "natural theology" aka the claim we can see some god (usually the Christian god though Christians often try to hide their god under an avalanche of vagueness) in reality. Please note the comments … Continue reading The new Natural Theology dismantled
What the Boss Likes – a small hiatus and some cool things
Since I'm wrapping up my last two days of work at my current position, I'll be taking a little longer to answer replies. I should be back to normal (or a reasonable facsimile) shortly. A couple cool things. John Paulk, the posterboy for the lies about "ex-gay" therapy, has admitted that he's lied about being "ex-gay" … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a small hiatus and some cool things
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A bit about the term “respect”
One thing I see a lot of is that a lot of theists demand respect for their religion. What I think is happening is that a lot of theists think that respect means the same as politeness, consideration and tolerance. It doesn’t, at least not all of the time, or we wouldn’t need those other … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A bit about the term “respect”
What the Boss Likes – Dungeons and Dragons….and Pat Robertson making a fool of himself again
Good ol’ Pat is beating the drum about Dungeons and Dragons again and how this game has “literally destroyed people’s lives”. Ah, Pat, we can always count on you for a good lie for Jesus! I’m sure that Pat is feverishly pawing at his Chick tracts (absolutely ludicrous Christian tracts that tell a number of … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Dungeons and Dragons….and Pat Robertson making a fool of himself again
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A new Christian apologist – Part 2 the “evidence”
Now onto Part 2 – the “evidence” I’ll address the evidence that Ben has claimed for the existence of his God. 1. Arguments of natural theology – the existence of the universe, the beginning of the universe, the intuitive reality of moral facts, the human phenomenon of consciousness, the existed of human reason, the apparent … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A new Christian apologist – Part 2 the “evidence”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A new Christian apologist – Part 1 trying to show that the “supernatural” exists
The author of the blog I’ve been commenting on, Ben, has chosen not to post my last response. I offered to post it on my blog if he wished to respond to it and now it’s here! Ben has said that “I'm trying to set a tone[at his blog] that will be comfortable for family and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A new Christian apologist – Part 1 trying to show that the “supernatural” exists
From the Kitchen – the World’s Best Lasagna
This weekend’s meal and a movie is the World’s Best Lasagnatm and the movie is one we’ve watched before and love, John Carter (A Princess of Mars). If you enjoy pulp, then watch it. It’s a good movie and the reviewers, as usual, are to be ignored. I’ve recommended the movie before here, so we’ll … Continue reading From the Kitchen – the World’s Best Lasagna
What the Boss Likes – Darn, I’m late for Ask An Atheist day!
Apparently yesterday (April 18th) was Ask an Atheist Day. And apparently no one told a lot of atheists. 🙂 We are indeed a hard group to coordinate. So, in honor of completely missing this, if you'd like to ask *this* atheist any questions about atheism and, well, just about anything else, please do. If you … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Darn, I’m late for Ask An Atheist day!
