I had to save this for posterity " The recent decisions of the Supreme Court cheat Moloch of his accustomed cheap comestibles. He’ll have to make do with less. But, as with all natural systems under the orbit of the moon, this is a case of pushing the envelope in one way only to see … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – you too can see how crazy Christians can be

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – an excellent essay about morality, gods and mass shootings
Dr. Darren Slade over at the Global Center for Religious Research has written an excellent essay about the excuses that theists, especially conservative Christians, give when it comes to mass shootings. In case you might not know, "miso" means "hate" and yes, one can do that even for imaginary characters. "God and Mass Shootings: A … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – an excellent essay about morality, gods and mass shootings
What the Boss Likes – feeling like I’m in a sketch comedy skit and cat picture
Recently, I've been demonstrating how a couple of conservative Christians fail. Those familiar with my blog and those of others will recognize the screen handles of "colorstorm" and "silenceofmind". Over on SOM's blog, I'm addressing their nonsense and the poor fellows can't keep from "liking" my comments. Alas, I didn't grab poor CS's like since … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – feeling like I’m in a sketch comedy skit and cat picture
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – now the QOP finds another group they’ve ignored to use as an excuse
Currently here in the US, we have the usual conservative Christians trying to force their lies on everyone again, this time trying to stop legal abortion. We also have them being ever so concerned about children in the US being "starved" by immigrant families being given infant formula, which is in short supply here in … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – now the QOP finds another group they’ve ignored to use as an excuse

Some of the big holidays/months for the abrahamic religions happen this month. Easter is this weekend. Passover starts on Friday. Ramadan is the whole lunar month. Passover - we have a celebration that the Israelites got their freedom, the "exodus", but it's not quite that simple and requires the death of children and people who … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a three-fer this year
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christians are atheists too
I, and many other atheists, have pointed out to theists that they are atheists too. They simply don’t believe in other gods, often for reasons just like I do: there is no evidence. They often get upset by this revelation, since it neuters their common attacks on atheists e.g. atheists are those scary communists, etc.Nothing … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christians are atheists too

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and yet again a Christian fails in their claims of what makes someone leave their religion
A fellow in my home state, Mark Farnham, from a relatively close by bible college, has decided to make a list of why people have left his religion. And of course it’s the same baseless claims, and ignorance. He has this nonsense on a rather vehement evangelical conservative Christian website called “Sharper Iron”, and claims … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and yet again a Christian fails in their claims of what makes someone leave their religion
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – prophecy nonsense
The Associated Press has an article about the magical nonsense invoked by Christians, specifically the Pope. Way back when, there was the Fatima nonsense, where people saw Mary floating around and giving prophecies. Now, again, its being claimed to be "fulfilled" which is always rather silly since it apparently has already been claimed to have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – prophecy nonsense
