I've found a supposedly new and typically bad theodicy. This is "participation theodicy" by John Buck. I've snagged a copy of it here. the abstract: " Why does God allow gratuitous suffering to occur? In this paper, the author puts forward a variation on the greater good theodicy, which rather than suggesting that every evil … Continue reading No So Polite Conversation – a “new” failed theodicy

what the boss *loves* – when a trumpee website is its own best satire
Oh dear, there is a website called "The Conservateur" which is trying so very hard to lie about the vain not very bright trumpee women. One doesn't even have to change the writing to make it utter satire (which is, yep, protected by US law). Now, I know, you'll say, "Vel, this has to be … Continue reading what the boss *loves* – when a trumpee website is its own best satire
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – it’s great fun when a Catholic lies
Well, let’s see what false things a Christian has come up with now. There is a rather nasty Catholic, Trent, who is on Youtube, who has no problem lying and failing in this video "5 Atheist Double Standards". Again, this is pretty much a typing exercise for me, to waste some time at work since … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – it’s great fun when a Catholic lies
Not So Polite Conversation – “Catholic of Honor” tries to refute a post of mine, hilarity to follow
This is a long slog, so fair warning. Not much here is that new when it comes to counter apologetics. I just was amusing myself in responding. Always good to see a Catholic who has decided to respond to my posts. He didn’t bother reading anything else on my blog, including my introduction. So he … Continue reading Not So Polite Conversation – “Catholic of Honor” tries to refute a post of mine, hilarity to follow
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A Christian prays for a miracle for me
So, last post was about Jon over at nonviolentchristians. He has now claimed the following:" ClubSchadenfreude said, “not up to us to disprove miracles. It is up to you to show that they do occur. Unsurprisingly, you can’t.” I have experienced miracles. I know they are real. One scientific survey conducted by Barna Research found … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A Christian prays for a miracle for me
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yet one more Christian makes false statements about atheists
Jon Kauffman, over on Nonviolent Christians, has made more false claims about atheists. This is nothing new for many Christians and they do violence to the truth. This is my response. "Atheists Fail to Defend Their Position." Funny how atheists defend their positions often, including me. Now, why would you lie that we don't, Jon? … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yet one more Christian makes false statements about atheists
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – nothing new, a Christian apologist fails
Many of my blog visitors will recognize the failed apologist SpaniardVIII. He, in the typical apologist arrogance, offered to answer any questions about his version of Christianity. I asked him some questions about bible verses to see what excuses he would offer, and I wasn’t disappointed, getting a great set of examples of how Christians … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – nothing new, a Christian apologist fails
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – an update on those Christians who want a new waste of money
I found out that some Christians, rather than helping women and children, and being all "pro-life" are exactly the opposite, wanting to build yet more worthless buildings to their greed and ignorance. I signed up on their mailing list to see what these idiots are up to. You can see how some Christians reveal just … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – an update on those Christians who want a new waste of money
Not So Polite – you’d think they’d learn, yet another set of “questions for atheists”
Update: Unsurprisingly, Dr. Brown hasn't actually dealt with any of the many responses he was given. Back in July 2022, he offers quite an excuse that he'll real soon now get back to us. It's January 1, 2023 when I'm writing this. This is no surprise since christians don't seem to actually want real atheists … Continue reading Not So Polite – you’d think they’d learn, yet another set of “questions for atheists”
