How I Teach Atheism to Seminarians - Public Orthodoxy First, no surprise at all that a Christian professor does not allow comments on such a silly post. Amazing how theists think that they can teach atheism to their students and not once actually interact with a single live atheist.

Let us consider the pig. Actually, let us consider 2000 pigs somewhere in Palestine, supposedly a couple of thousand years ago.“5 They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes 2 And when he had stepped out of the boat, immediately a man out of the tombs with an unclean spirit met … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – let us consider the pig
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a discussion with a Catholic
I've recently been crossing swords with a Roman Catholic, Christina Chase. She has a blog and I commented on a poem she wrote. Then we ended up chatting in the comments. This gave me a chance to become more familiar with Roman Catholicism and Roman Catholics. This is evidently the last of the discussion (her … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a discussion with a Catholic
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – more fail from Answers in Genesis
Unsurprisingly one of the folks over at Answers in Genesis, aka cowards who want to attack other theists and non-theists, have quite a strawman argument over at their website, trying to convince people to agree with them. Of course, they are cowards since they don’t allow comments on their lies. But we can provide them some … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – more fail from Answers in Genesis
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The conversation continues…
Happily, a Christian has chosen to reply to my responses to the Christian claims from the earlier blog post.

My usual readers will recognize quite a bit of this, no reason to waste your time again. Okay, let’s look at … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – that pesky free will
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique part 4
Part Four – The Prophetic Fingerprint Well, happily this is the last of the “Case for Christmas” videos. Here’s email’s spin: “Some people believe the Old Testament doesn’t apply to those of us who follow Jesus. They think the ancient history, poetry, and prophecies are irrelevant to today’s modern culture. Yet, the Old Testament is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique part 4
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ooops, they said the quiet part out loud
I ran across this post today "There are consequences for evangelists' blind support of Donald Trump. Here's what to expect in a post-Trump America." I captured it on a There are consequences for evangelists as a word doc since I'm suspecting that the Christians might take it down. One might think it is a spoof … Continue reading 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. Free will: “is the ability to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded” Predestination: equivalent to predeterminism: “all events are determined completely by previously existing … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – my favorite dead horse to beat on: free will and predetermination
