This post brought to you by the number 4 Caroline, I’m taking this to a full blog post rather than just adding on comments, since the formatting is much better here and I can put in links. I’m also not worrying about what you might think the “tone” is. I'm writing if I'm talking to you. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Dear theist, part 4 Suprise!

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Dear Theist, part 3
This will likely be the last of this mini-series of interactions with a Christian, as you will see from Caroline's post. Her post ends with a typical Christian comment. This isn't a rare occurence, for a Christian to be rather nasty and then reconsider. She did apologize, and you may visit her blog to see. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Dear Theist, part 3
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Dear Theist, part 2
Generally, I wouldn't go to the bother of this, but Caroline is a good example of theist that atheist often encounter. Her posts cover most attitudes and claims the Christian who thinks that they are an excellent defender of the faith. My first post addressing Caroline's questions to atheists is here. I have been able … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Dear Theist, part 2
What the Boss Likes – Random things
Stuff I think more people should know about..... Reproductions of historical house bits that aren't mind-numbingly expensive (I just left it on the Art Deco since that’s my favorite): http://www.houseofantiquehardware.com/Art-Deco Articles on how to be “manly” but works for men or women, basically how to be an expert human being. Hot Cocoa for everyone: http://artofmanliness.com/2012/12/17/the-surprisingly-manly-history-of-hot-cocoa/ … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Random things
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Dear theist, you need to up your game.
Following some links, I found this: http://areasonablefaithdotme.wordpress.com/2013/01/03/dear-atheist/ I’ve commented on it but since many Christians will not allow comments that address their claims to appear on their blogs (so much for the discussion they claim they want), I figured that I’d reproduce Caroline’s entire post here and my response. She uses a lot of the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Dear theist, you need to up your game.
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billboards and Fruits
The deacon over on Alethian Worldview has a nice competition. Come up with a billboard for letting people know being an atheist is fine. As he has already noted, some boards are fine, some are nothing special and some are pretty atrocious. My entry (the crowd image is something I found on the 'net with … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billboards and Fruits
What the Boss Likes – a follow-up to a prior post
Some of you might remember when I blogged about the controversy over "atheist plus". Someone disssed a hero of mine, Neil Armstrong, so I finally stopped ignoring the fence. One of my recent commenters here was kind enough to comment on another post and I went out to see his website. That got the whole thing … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a follow-up to a prior post
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The war on Christmas complete with friendly fire
The Daily Show already used the friendly fire analogy when Bill O'Reilly decided that Christianity wasn't a religion. Here are more self-inflicted wounds. The last few days of Doonesbury have done a great job ridiculing the “war on Christmas” nonsense spread by some Christians. But I do have to say, there might actually be a war on Christmas … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The war on Christmas complete with friendly fire
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Mom, he’s touching me!
As the days go by, I see more excuses from Christians on why their god do is hands-off when awful things happen. It’s easy for me as an atheist; there is no evidence for a god so I am not surprised when no gods show up in response to a violent event or in response to prayers of any … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Mom, he’s touching me!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My Sister In Law doesn’t hate me.
Well, my SIL says she doesn’t hate me (or my husband) and excuses her calling Harry Potter evil by saying she’s looking out for the kids and “you only have one chance”. She also says that I shouldn’t lump all Christians in with the “haters”. She finds the nonsense about backmasking silly too and is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My Sister In Law doesn’t hate me.
