When I was growing up, rather than listening to the rock and roll of the 80s, I was listening to soundtracks. For whatever reason, the rock that I love now just wasn’t interesting then. My brother listened to it, and his dear sister had to allay his fears that listening to rock wasn’t “Satanic”. He … Continue reading From the Kitchen – Chicken Fajitas and a bad movie to go
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, Part 3
(Woody is at it again. Rather than have this as another comment, here is my response to Woody's latest series of baseless claims in an easier to read format. I go into evolutionary theory a bit more in this post. You can read his whole post at the link above but the choicer bits are … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, Part 3
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, part 2
(Since I had it done, here it is. Part 1 is here.) Part 2 I had not heard about the “dane’s kings list going back to Noah”. I wonder do you know of the list of Japanese emperors that goes back to the goddess Amaterasu and further back to Izanagi and Inzanami? I didn’t think … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, part 2
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, Part 1
Joseph “Woody” Armstrong has visited my website recently to comment on it. I don’t know much about him other than he is another example of a TrueChristiantm though with different characteristics then someone like Caroline. He is a KJV onlyist, someone who is certain that the only “true” bible is the Authorized King James Version. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, Part 1
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Bad logic and even worse “science”
Recently, I’ve seen the usual flood myth claims on one more theist blog. This has been done to death but I do love the subject since I’m a geologist. The initial blog post was the usual claim by a theist that atheists don’t have enough proof for their position and at best they “really” should … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Bad logic and even worse “science”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – God made in man’s image – very very dumb
“I, _________, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – God made in man’s image – very very dumb
From the Kitchen and Bar – This American’s Burger
Few things are as tasty as a good burger. But those are so very hard to find. Through the Food Network and the Cooking Channel, we have been taught that a good burger must be too thick to bite easily and half-raw to simulate succulence. They are piled with every conceivable thing in the name … Continue reading From the Kitchen and Bar – This American’s Burger
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Judging the judge, or lessons in hypocrisy and excuse
Christians (and most theists) do love to make excuses for their god, why we shouldn’t ever dare attempt to judge its actions and excuses on why its so pathetically impotent. Caroline, a Christian who has been a lovely example for this blog, now continues with her attempts, part 1 and part 2. As promised, and as … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Judging the judge, or lessons in hypocrisy and excuse
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Miracles
Miracles and the actions of the divine are another source of debate between believers and non-believers. Most religions depend on them since without magical action, their gods are merely figureheads. Thus, we have divine interference e.g. miracles, in just about any religion you would care to name. And this causes some problems since evidence for … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Miracles
From the Kitchen and Back Room – Did she really make fresh bao? (and beer and wine?)
Being a foodie, I love to try new things. Husband and I have been talking about going on vacation to a city with a good selection of dim sum restaurants. Being a Firefly fan, I like to try things I see on that dearly departed show. Now, I’ve a lot of experience with fresh strawberries … Continue reading From the Kitchen and Back Room – Did she really make fresh bao? (and beer and wine?)
