Here in the US, we certainly do have a pile of idiots who voted for a moron and now we all get to suffer for it. This week, during the remembrance services for the first president Bush, we got to see just how ridiculous it is for Christians to follow a man who has no … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the usual idiocy in the US thanks to conservative Christians

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cause and Effect – exhorting violence leads to violence
Well, this has been quite a week here in the US. We have had a conservative sending bombs to famous liberals from his van plastered with all of the hate that Trump has spouted, and then we have had a conservative shooting up a synagogue here in Pennsylvania. I went to college in Pittsburgh for … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cause and Effect – exhorting violence leads to violence
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: why do they choose to make false claims? – next up, DP Monahan
Well, for a blog called “truth and tolerance”, DP doesn’t demonstrate either. I’ve seen this particular Christian around on other blogs. He tries to be friendly to the atheists he contests with, but when you get him on his own blog, he has no problem in making a lot of false claims about others. It’s … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: why do they choose to make false claims? – next up, DP Monahan
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – questions posed to an atheist
As I am wont to do, I was roaming about wordpress looking for silly claims about atheists by theists. While chatting with his son about another blog post, I found this list of questions by a pastor that has his church not too far from where I grew up. So I thought I'd give … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – questions posed to an atheist
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – various thoughts about religion and a God Squad bit of nonsense
For those who follow my blog for food, wine, etc. these posts titled "not so polite dinner conversation" ain't that. It's all about politics and religion.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Happy Fourth of July! Hobby Lobby is at it again with their 2018 ad
Unsurprisingly, we have a hobby lobby july 2018 ad (happily saved for posterity here), the folks that want to force their religion on their employees (and you) and who have no problem in depending on people working on the “Sabbath” whilst ever-so piously closing their stores on the same day. The people living under authoritarian governments … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Happy Fourth of July! Hobby Lobby is at it again with their 2018 ad
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Hey, Sessions trotted out Romans 13
I hadn't realized that AG Sessions cited Romans 13 for his excuses for his and Trump's actions. “Persons who violate the law of our nation are subject to prosecution. I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Hey, Sessions trotted out Romans 13
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Yep, some Christians really are this desperate
As if you didn't think some American conservative Christians weren't crazy enough, we have this: "The question either infuriates or intrigues tens of millions of Americans: Did God play a role in the victory of Donald Trump? The debate will soon be presented in movie theaters across the country, as evangelical megaschool Liberty University is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Yep, some Christians really are this desperate
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – two questions answered
In my last post, I wrote about abortion rights. I haven’t heard anything from any abortion opponents yet to answer my questions. However, I did note that the pastor I addressed has two questions for health choice advocates to answer on his blog. Unsuprisingly, Pastor Dave does not allow comments on his website. You can … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – two questions answered
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Congratulations, Ireland
I generally don’t blog about abortion rights. I find abortion to be a stupid thing to be used for birth control, but sometimes it’s the only option and it’s everyone’s right to control their own body and choose the healthcare that they want. Of course, some people don’t think that’s so. They think it is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Congratulations, Ireland
