Christians, and other theists try very hard to claim that atheism is just like their religions, a worldview, and how dare we criticize them since we are the same. Unfortunately for them, that never works out. I found this argument from Tom Dallis and responded to it. Since many christians are loathe to allow atheist … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – no, atheism isn’t a worldview

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a response to a christian
This is just to keep this response to a christian who commented on this blog post, where I can find it easily and for the christian, MJ, to respond, if she chooses.MJ, it’s a common Christian tactic to try to lie and claim that I’m “angry” when I show your religion to fail. The Christian … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a response to a christian
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when christians lie about objective morality and the TAG
Like the prior post, this is just my response to a classic failed apologist, this one being named Vincent. He's been trying very hard to claim his god gives objective morality, though christians can't agree on what consists of, and that the Transcendental Argument for God works. Unsurprisingly, both claims fail miserably. As usual, little … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when christians lie about objective morality and the TAG
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – that ol’ “sophisticated theology” again
Haven’t seen one of these for a while. This is a classic “sophisticated theology” nattering by Rev. Garrick Sinclair Beckett. Here’s my response. Nothing much new. Memes at the bottom. "The atheistic characterization of Christians’ belief in God as faith in “an invisible sky daddy”—or “invisible sky wizard with magical powers” as I recently heard it—is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – that ol’ “sophisticated theology” again
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – putting jesus on trial
Found this on a rather silly christian blog. It's all of the common christian baseless arguments in one place. a few memes at the end.And here's how that all fails:I’ve put this jesus on trial and unsurprisingly, imaginary beings fail that.Jesus’s teachings are all over the map. One can see how different authors made up … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – putting jesus on trial
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – for your delectation, a discussion with a typical Christian
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
