Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Why can’t animals talk?”

Rabbi Gellman, who used to be part of the God Squad with a catholic priest, still has a syndicated column. I occasionally address them there. This time it’s a column that in my paper is titled “why don’t animals talk”. Now many cultures have myths on why this is. They are just-so stories like Kipling … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Why can’t animals talk?” →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh darn, did someone say that out loud?

Recently, I’ve noted some silly theist posts here and responded to them since the theists, Christians, want an echo chamber and don’t allow non-Christians like them to post. One has caught my eye, where Haden (whom you’ve seen referenced to before having the blog amusingly named “Help Me Believe Strengthen the believer. Answer the critic”  … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh darn, did someone say that out loud? →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a Christian’s excuse for supporting an anti-christ aka Trump

Haden, over at Helpmebelieve.com, has done a great job at showing just what some Christians will do to gain power. Haden, unsurprisingly, is a Trumpie.  Nothing new is here.  Pretty much every Trumpie will make the same excuses. As some of you might know, the editor of Christianity Today, a magazine started by the Billy … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a Christian’s excuse for supporting an anti-christ aka Trump →

Not So Polite Dinner Conservation – Those magi, and yay, a child is destined to be killed

On the road, over two thousand years ago Balthasar: hey guys, I was doing up that kid’s astrology chart. Caspar: what kid’s? Melchior: You know, that one who is going to be king of the Jews one day, you gave the myrrh. Caspar: Oh yeah. What about him? Balthasas: I think we got the wrong … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conservation – Those magi, and yay, a child is destined to be killed →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – talking to Christians, Christians talking to non-Christians etc

This weekend I was at an holiday craft show with my art.  Despite rather awful weather, standing in a puddle the first day and being wind-whipped the second, I did fairly well.  It’s always a nice thing when people actually buy something you’ve made or even just compliment it.  I hate to admit I do … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – talking to Christians, Christians talking to non-Christians etc →

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 →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – more low hanging creationist fruit

Fruit. See what I did there?  😀 Unsurprisingly, Ray Comfort, the fellow who thinks oranges are evidence for his version of the Christian god, is now trying to glom onto actual science again and insisting paleontology shows his myths are true. And of course he’s trying to make money from repacking the same old creationist … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – more low hanging creationist fruit →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Now Oranges are evidence of the conservative Christian god

Yep, thanks to Ray Comfort, oranges are evidence of his version of the Christian god:   Of course no Christian can do miracles like Jesus Christ, Son of God. But heck, we should believe oranges are evidence of this god, just like bananas. Screw the amputees, screw the cancer patients, oranges are evidence of God. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Now Oranges are evidence of the conservative Christian god →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh the arguments over imaginary friends

This blog is quite bemusing.   Abrahamists are after each other on whose version of their god is right: https://bloggingtheology.com/2019/09/02/islam-jack-chick-and-the-battle-for-souls-your-best-life It does come down to "My imaginary god is the right one. No, mine is! Your holy book is contradictory. No, yours is." The blog is a great example of how theists use the same arguments … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh the arguments over imaginary friends →
