Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ooops, they said the quiet part out loud

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – my favorite dead horse to beat on: free will and predetermination

Christians often want their free will but to also claim that everything is their god’s will and that predestination is in play.  We can start off with the common definitions of both terms.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – not so “clever” as a theist might think

A rather silly Christian had the below on their blog.  This is a Christian who is also sure that essential oils do magic and that zyto scanning machines work.  They work as well as the e-meter that Scientologists use to look at your alien ghosts that are attached to you aka not at all.  The … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – not so “clever” as a theist might think →
