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

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – please welcome Alex, a Christian who has asked to debate me
A Christian has asked to debate me, Alexander Phaethon, of the blog Peace of Mind. He comes to us from commenting on my last blog post, about a christian who insists that everyone agrees with her.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a new pair of apologists
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

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.

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
