Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a selection of thoughts from the recent news

Just some various thoughts about religion, politics, etc. None were showing promise as a blog post on their own, but I found them interesting enough to gather together. ........... No idea what is going on with the Republican party or its candidates. Trump seems to be doing his best to get attention but to have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a selection of thoughts from the recent news →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: lies told about Planned Parenthood, so does religion make you more moral?

The attacks on Planned Parenthood were started with a lie, continued with lies when the Christian organization, Center for Medical Progress (known to have lied before), intentionally tried to edit the videos to present people untruthfully, and have continued with the lies told by politicians who are too lazy or too biased to care about the truth. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: lies told about Planned Parenthood, so does religion make you more moral? →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – where we find more lies told by TrueChristians, in order to defame people….. Pity that the bible insists that lying is a sin

Not surprisingly, TrueChristians(tm)  are trying to destroy Planned Parenthood, an organization that helps many more women than any set of prayers. They need to lie to do so.  Not surprising at all.  And what god hates liars?  Oh yes, the Christian one.... To find the facts, and not Christian lies, you can go here:  http://www.factcheck.org/2015/07/unspinning-the-planned-parenthood-video/ … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – where we find more lies told by TrueChristians, in order to defame people…..

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – now just where does it say “you shalt not do your job” in the bible

So... we have an entire bunch of clerks in Tennessee that have resigned their jobs rather than even have a chance of granting a marriage license to someone they don't like, that being folks who want to marry whom they want, and not whom the clerks want them to marry. It's great that other people … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – now just where does it say “you shalt not do your job” in the bible →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – marriage and a lovely example of TrueChristian hysteria

Whoo-hoo, marriage for all!   I hope that everyone who chooses to get married is as happy as my husband and I. Rather than reviewing the SCOTUS decisions since others have done a better job than me, I found a typical opinion piece by one of the horrified TrueChristians, or as he puts it “orthodox Christians” … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – marriage and a lovely example of TrueChristian hysteria →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Evidence and personal experience

Recently, I’ve been crossing swords with some Christians. A Calvinist, an evangelical American Christian fundamentalist, a Christian whose God doesn’t really punish people for sins by sending them to hell, a Quaker who doesn’t like to call himself a Quaker, quite a motley lot. They are all very different in what they claim is the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Evidence and personal experience →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – my thoughts on “A History Of God”

Over on Hessian With Teeth’s blog, the authors have watched a documentary and asked for comments about it. The doc is “A History of God” based on the book by Karen Armstrong of the same name. Armstrong is a theist who wants to have her god but who doesn’t want the baggage it comes with. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – my thoughts on “A History Of God” →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Schadenfreude, tasty, tasty schadenfreude

Considering the name I’ve taken for this blog, it’s no surprise that I enjoy watching people suffer by their reaping the results of their willfully ignorant choices and claims. I like to watch people who insist that they are so pious that no one can question their actions fail in their claims of divine perfection … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Schadenfreude, tasty, tasty schadenfreude →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – review of “Faith vs. Fact”; no pussyfooting allowed

I just finished Jerry Coyne’s new book “Faith vs. Fact”.   It was a great deal of fun to read, even though I know, and have used, most of the arguments in it. Dr. Coyne does an excellent job of stating a premise, carefully defining terms, and then proceeding to support it with evidence, likely a … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – review of “Faith vs. Fact”; no pussyfooting allowed →
