What happened in Newtown was a tragedy and horrific. It was sudden, violent and unlike what Americans like to think is “normal”. Similar things happen every day in the world, sometimes slower but still horrific. Unsuprisingly, we have TrueChristians, Bryan Fischer and Mike Huckabee (we already know he’s a horrible person and not the friendly … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – TrueChristian antics about the tragedy in Newtown

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The End of the world….or not
A lot of humans seem to be longing for the “end of the world”. Many religions have it built into them, that some god will come and take all of the believers away to a magical place after killing/damning everyone who dared not to believe in the god. The contents of said magical place vary, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The End of the world….or not
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Calling something “evil”
Sometimes you don’t know whether to laugh or cry at what people do. This Christmas I’m getting my nieces and nephews books. So, I ask sister in law in an email “what would the kids like to read about”. And she says the Hunger Games for the eldest (she also seriously suggested Bill O’Reilly’s exercises … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Calling something “evil”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pat Robertson’s excuses on why he got it wrong
Unsuprisingly, Pat Robertson is now creating excuses for why he lied about his god telling him who was going to win the presidential election. Poor Pat, I knew this would happen. "So many of us miss God. I won't get into great detail about elections but I sure did miss it. I thought I … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pat Robertson’s excuses on why he got it wrong
Not Polite Dinner Conversation –Some fun with 1 Corinthians!
(yes, the entire blogosphere seems to be doing a post about Huckabee on The Daily show. It gives me a reason to address specific parts of the bible, so I’m getting my own licks in) Jon Stewart of The Daily Show did an excellent job at showing how Mike Huckabee is quite a liar or simply … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation –Some fun with 1 Corinthians!
What the Boss Likes – My own set of predictions
Hey, we have prophets from all sides, so why not an atheist. My predictions: Obama will win. Barely. The evangelical, aka Protestant-type, Christians will take a fit and declare that they were “Duped, duped!” by a Mormon and a Roman Catholic. There will be much made about 2012 and the end of the world. We'll … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – My own set of predictions
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s about the social issues and it’s about theocracy
This time it’s about social issues. Many people say that the election is about the economy. In my opinion it isn’t. Not this time. This time it’s about the social issues and about losing not only 50+ years of progress but a thousand years if radical conservatives get into power. The radical conservatives, the theocrats … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s about the social issues and it’s about theocracy
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Halloween or when the TrueChristians™ come out of the woodwork
When I was growing up, my favorite holiday was Halloween. I liked Thanksgiving for the ability to eat as much starch (can you say stuffing, potatoes and homemade noodles all at once?) as I wanted without being scolded and I liked Christmas because I got prezzies, but both were generally miserable otherwise since I don’t … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Halloween or when the TrueChristians™ come out of the woodwork
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – PA Rep. Babette Josephs and the Pledge of Allegiance
Not sure how I missed this story. State Representative Babette Josephs (D-Philadelphia) was asked to lead the Pledge of Allegiance in the state house. She refused, saying ""Based on my First Amendment rights and based on the fact that I really think it's a prayer, I don't pray in public." Well, if she's Christian, she has … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – PA Rep. Babette Josephs and the Pledge of Allegiance
Not Polite Dinner Conversation – “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” and the usual hypocrisy
The theocrats want to take over the government but horrors if the government interferes with them and says “to retain your tax-exempt status, you cannot try to force your adherents to support any particular candidate or party”. Now, more vocally than before, it seems like religious groups in the US want to have their cake … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” and the usual hypocrisy
