On Hillfaith, a rather unpleasant and pernicious attempt to get conservative christianity wormed into US gov't, the author Mark Tapscott had a post lauding one of the worse apologetics I've seen in a while. It cites a Charles Leslie, who is claimed as a "historian" and is no more than a pastor from the late 17th … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the pathetic apologetics of Charles Leslie

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – that ol’ “sophisticated theology” again
Haven’t seen one of these for a while. This is a classic “sophisticated theology” nattering by Rev. Garrick Sinclair Beckett. Here’s my response. Nothing much new. Memes at the bottom. "The atheistic characterization of Christians’ belief in God as faith in “an invisible sky daddy”—or “invisible sky wizard with magical powers” as I recently heard it—is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – that ol’ “sophisticated theology” again

BTW, a bunch of memes at … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – please join me in creating bible lesson plans for Oklahoma
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the confusion about David
As my readers know, the bible is chock full of contradictions. The entire field of apologetics has been invented to deal with a set of books that were never meant to be together. What is amusing is that this has been a problem with all of the bible, NT and OT. After going off on … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the confusion about David

One can see how different authors made up … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – putting jesus on trial
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – honest, it’s not a bug, it’s a feature
the following is a common bit of nonsense from theists, christians in particular: The need to claim this isn't a bug, but a feature of this religion shows how the religion fails. Most, if not all, christians don't even try, and unsurprisingly, they can't agree on what their imaginary friend wants, so hypocrisy is built … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – honest, it’s not a bug, it’s a feature
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the typical christian confusion about the worth of a human life
On Hillfaith, there are the typical conservative christians who try to lie about how much their god cares about human beings. In this post, it's about making a choice, saving a pet or a person."Your decision becomes ever more complicated when you realize you only have one life preserver on hand and you aren’t a … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the typical christian confusion about the worth of a human life
