Our current guest Christian, Woody, has decided to post his rebuttal to my flood post on his website. It's not up yet but should be soon and he's even promised a video! He has given me a preview which I am sharing here. He has declared that anyone who tries to comment on this on … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Prepare yourselves folks

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, Part 3
(Woody is at it again. Rather than have this as another comment, here is my response to Woody's latest series of baseless claims in an easier to read format. I go into evolutionary theory a bit more in this post. You can read his whole post at the link above but the choicer bits are … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, Part 3
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, part 2
(Since I had it done, here it is. Part 1 is here.) Part 2 I had not heard about the “dane’s kings list going back to Noah”. I wonder do you know of the list of Japanese emperors that goes back to the goddess Amaterasu and further back to Izanagi and Inzanami? I didn’t think … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, part 2
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, Part 1
Joseph “Woody” Armstrong has visited my website recently to comment on it. I don’t know much about him other than he is another example of a TrueChristiantm though with different characteristics then someone like Caroline. He is a KJV onlyist, someone who is certain that the only “true” bible is the Authorized King James Version. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, Part 1
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Bad logic and even worse “science”
Recently, I’ve seen the usual flood myth claims on one more theist blog. This has been done to death but I do love the subject since I’m a geologist. The initial blog post was the usual claim by a theist that atheists don’t have enough proof for their position and at best they “really” should … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Bad logic and even worse “science”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – God made in man’s image – very very dumb
“I, _________, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – God made in man’s image – very very dumb
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Judging the judge, or lessons in hypocrisy and excuse
Christians (and most theists) do love to make excuses for their god, why we shouldn’t ever dare attempt to judge its actions and excuses on why its so pathetically impotent. Caroline, a Christian who has been a lovely example for this blog, now continues with her attempts, part 1 and part 2. As promised, and as … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Judging the judge, or lessons in hypocrisy and excuse
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Miracles
Miracles and the actions of the divine are another source of debate between believers and non-believers. Most religions depend on them since without magical action, their gods are merely figureheads. Thus, we have divine interference e.g. miracles, in just about any religion you would care to name. And this causes some problems since evidence for … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Miracles
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Judaism and Jainism
As promised, here is the post about the rabbi and the Jain. Since a lot of Christians want to claim that atheists "never ever" talk about other religions, I thought I'd remedy that. In the same newspaper that had Billy Graham’s question/answer column, there was a God Squad column. At one point, the Squad was Marc … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Judaism and Jainism
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Even the professionals have little to work with
In the discussions with various theists that I’ve been having, I’ve seen the argument from authority, which claims if someone is “smart” and believes in “x”, then that makes “x” true. This is similar to another common claim by theists called “Sophisticated Theologytm” (I think Dr. Coyne over on Why Evolution is True might have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Even the professionals have little to work with
