Pastor Jonathan Waits has challenged me to put up his replies to my comments on his blog. So, with his permission, I have. You can see them on his blog too, and I'm sure there will be more. The following is *very* long, tedious and has very little new in it, including no evidence for … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – for your delectation, a discussion with a typical Christian

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the vapidity of Christians
Found a rather unintentionally amusing video on youtube with some earnest christian women trying to tell atheists how wrong we are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T2aTVVlniU Here's my response. Nothing new, just refuting this nonsense.dear christians, many of us atheists were christians or theists of other types. We know the stories, the excuses and the apologetics. So your pretense … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the vapidity of Christians
What the Boss Likes – cats, etc
I decided I needed some new photos of our legion of cats. I did include some of Ulysses, our orange kitty who managed to lose an eye thanks to an accident. If you are sensitive to that, this is your warning. Aggie Apollo Athena Cleo Cleo showing me her distain for my photography Enkidu who … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – cats, etc
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – replying to an apologist
I found an apologist trying to edcuate his fellow christians on how to reply to an atheist/ non-christian. Unsurprisingly, his tactics don't work very well. My reply: “PRINCIPLE: If the Bible is the subject of debate, the atheist’s denial of the existence of God spells doom to their every argument.” Funny how that fails rather amusingly, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – replying to an apologist
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a review of another failed apologist, Val Grieve
While crossing swords with theists on YouTube, a Christian mentioned a book ‘Your Verdict on the Empty Tomb” by Val Grieve. I wasn’t very familiar with it, so I decided to look up any reviews, etc. about it. It seems to be mostly recommended by folks in the British sphere of influence. And it has … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a review of another failed apologist, Val Grieve
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a typical interaction with a Christian, presbyterian type.
Here’s a typical interaction with a Christian, Rev. A.P. McIntyre of Clogher Valley Free Presbyterian Church in Northern Ireland, made the usual claims that anyone but him and those who agree with him, are fools. You can see a bit of our interaction below. He is a Presbyterian, but as always, he’s part of what … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a typical interaction with a Christian, presbyterian type.
Not So Polite Dinner Conversationn – and yet another failed apologist with more lies
Yep, I'm bored. This is a response to an amazingly incompetent apologist, Mark Lanier, who supposedly is a “top” lawyer. If he is, I certainly wouldn’t want him to represent me. The poor dear has a new book, “Atheism on trial”. Well, I guess he couldn’t use “evidence that demands a verdict”. Here are excerpts … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversationn – and yet another failed apologist with more lies
No So Polite Conversation – a “new” failed theodicy
I've found a supposedly new and typically bad theodicy. This is "participation theodicy" by John Buck. I've snagged a copy of it here. the abstract: " Why does God allow gratuitous suffering to occur? In this paper, the author puts forward a variation on the greater good theodicy, which rather than suggesting that every evil … Continue reading No So Polite Conversation – a “new” failed theodicy
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – nothing new, a Christian apologist fails
Many of my blog visitors will recognize the failed apologist SpaniardVIII. He, in the typical apologist arrogance, offered to answer any questions about his version of Christianity. I asked him some questions about bible verses to see what excuses he would offer, and I wasn’t disappointed, getting a great set of examples of how Christians … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – nothing new, a Christian apologist fails
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh look, excuses by a Christian on why their god does nothing
A Christian commenter on this blog, "Alexander Phaethon" has written this set of excuses for why his god does nothing at all when it comes to children being killed. I've added some paragraphing so it's not one block of text. "I am, most likely to annoyance of most, going to cite free will here. It’s … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh look, excuses by a Christian on why their god does nothing
