What the Boss likes – or what she thinks is mildly interesting

Arrgh, I have a cold. What tedious misery. The following is pretty much stream of consciousness nattering. Treat it as you will. Apple Pie moonshine from Old Republic Distillery is very good mixed about half and half with boiling water and with a bit of hot buttered rum “batter” aka equal parts of butter and … Continue reading What the Boss likes – or what she thinks is mildly interesting

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – myth, fact and what should be presented in a magazine about science and history

Just got my latest Smithsonian magazine. I have a particular fondness for this magazine, being one of the first I got when I was a kid in the late 70s. One of the first issues had the shots of Io’s volcanoes from Voyager 1.   About a decade later, I got an internship at one of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – myth, fact and what should be presented in a magazine about science and history

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – thanks, Jerry – how a TrueChristian demonstrates the contradictions between Christians and Christianity

Recently, we've found that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, especially when it comes to being an idiot.  Jerry Falwell, Jr., son of failed prophet Jerry Falwell, and head of Liberty University, has said the following: "“It just blows my mind when I see that the president of the United States [says] that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – thanks, Jerry – how a TrueChristian demonstrates the contradictions between Christians and Christianity

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ’tis the season

The “war on Christmas” has arisen once again. One would think that the TrueChristians™ here in the States would just stop, because every year, there is nothing accomplished but making themselves look like complete idiots. Schadenfreude is always great when someone causes their own problems. Take the Starbucks nonsense for instance… Happily many Christians have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ’tis the season

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: signs from gods, prayer and decoupage

Theists often claim that they see a “sign” from their god. These claims usually revolve around pareidolia, but occasionally there is a claim of a relic or divinely-touched item. One of these claims is about bible pages on a piece of wreckage from the WTC terrorist disaster (unsurprisingly, the provenance of the item is very … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: signs from gods, prayer and decoupage

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: hmmm, who is lying here?

well, now we have the TrueChristian(tm) Kim Davis and the TrueChristian(tm) Pope Francis and their stories don't quite match. Now, who is to be believed? Update:  How interesting, the pope met with a gay couple before he met Davis. Hmmm. and more curious, some possible machinations and conspiracies with an arch bishop in the crosshairs.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – one has an excuse, it’s imaginary

The pope claims that his god “weeps” because his priests abuse children. Funny how he does a lot more than “weep” against those who piss him off in the bible: Sodom and Gomorrah Lot’s wife First Born of Egypt Sons of Aaron Israelites who complained More Israelites who complained that Israelites were murdered More Israelites … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – one has an excuse, it’s imaginary

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – another in a long line of typical exchanges between a Christian and me

I've had a TrueChristian(tm) on this website, Jedi of Christ, who has made promises of evidence and then ended up doing nothing more than making threats using bible verses.  He has ended with a post that is typical of a TrueChristian and I thought this would be another good example of how to address the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – another in a long line of typical exchanges between a Christian and me

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – pure hypocrisy

It's no surprise at all that the woman who is doing her best to force her religion on others in Kentucky is a complete hypocrite.  Married many times, having children out of wedlock, and surprise, not considering anyone else as sinful when giving out marriage licenses to other divorcees, and evidently a couple, one of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – pure hypocrisy
