I found a new blog with a pair of Christian gals who want to address us atheists, agnostics and non-christians. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be very aware of counter apologetics and may regret what they've started. They seem nice enough, but terribly ignorant. We'll see how this goes. Here's a response to one of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a new pair of apologists

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yet one more list of questions for atheists that fails
This is a list of 29 (!) questions from a family of apologists that style themselves the AIIA Institute (such a lovely appeal to authority attempt. Anyone can start an “institute”). I found out about them since they took out a full-page ad in Yankee Magazine (a regional tourism, etc magazine for the northeast US). … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yet one more list of questions for atheists that fails
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – trying to use legal claims as apologetics
During some research to destroy some apologetics, I stumbled upon an excellent take down of the common attempt by Christians to use legal definitions to force their god into existence. It over on Infidels.org in their library. This is a great site to check out counter apologetics. Critique of John Warwick Montgomery’s Arguments for the Legal … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – trying to use legal claims as apologetics
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christians sure like to pretend they are talking to atheists
or saying that the nonsense in Revelation will be happening "real soon now" As above, Christians sure like to pretend they are talking to atheists lately, and of course, don't allow comments on these ever so wonderful arguments they think they have. Wonder why? 😀 So, here we have Nick Watt, with his talk to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christians sure like to pretend they are talking to atheists
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – let us consider the pig
Let us consider the pig. Actually, let us consider 2000 pigs somewhere in Palestine, supposedly a couple of thousand years ago.“5 They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes 2 And when he had stepped out of the boat, immediately a man out of the tombs with an unclean spirit met … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – let us consider the pig
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The conversation continues…
Happily, a Christian has chosen to reply to my responses to the Christian claims from the earlier blog post. It is a classic since it contains every excuse that Christians usually offer and goes out of its way to ignore the hard questions. 1. “There’s a common misconception that the answering of prayers must always … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The conversation continues…

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – my notes while I was watching the video
Here are my notes when I was watching my chat with Robert. I hadn't known that he was going to include his comentary but that's fine. These notes are long. Unfortunately for Robert, I've learned to not trust Christians. I've also put these remarks on youtube with the video. I don't know if they'll show … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – my notes while I was watching the video
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Why can’t animals talk?”
Rabbi Gellman, who used to be part of the God Squad with a catholic priest, still has a syndicated column. I occasionally address them there. This time it’s a column that in my paper is titled “why don’t animals talk”. Now many cultures have myths on why this is. They are just-so stories like Kipling … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Why can’t animals talk?”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – talking to Christians, Christians talking to non-Christians etc
This weekend I was at an holiday craft show with my art. Despite rather awful weather, standing in a puddle the first day and being wind-whipped the second, I did fairly well. It’s always a nice thing when people actually buy something you’ve made or even just compliment it. I hate to admit I do … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – talking to Christians, Christians talking to non-Christians etc
