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
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a bit of nostalgia and still no effects from prayers by professionals
Way back in September 2014, I offered a challenge to a professional Christian and self-proclaimed prophet, Bill Keller. This was about the challenge he offered to a Muslim leader regarding that old testament contest in 1 Kings 18. Now during that interaction, I was promised that I would be prayed for. He of course ran away … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a bit of nostalgia and still no effects from prayers by professionals
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – We ate that apple or did we?
Recently, I found a post on another blog about what Christians could learn from atheists. This was on a blog for self-described millennial Christians. It was an article written by John Garay, who has his own blog. It was an interesting post, with some honest compliments but most the usual claims of how “rebellious” atheists … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – We ate that apple or did we?
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – reblogging a Christian bit of nonsense: The meaning of meaninglessness
This post came to my attention when Pastor Mike liked this post of mine. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense that a Christian would like it, but I often encounter Christians who seem a little confused in what they profess to believe and what they actually believe. Nothing like watching a TrueChristian(tm) do his … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – reblogging a Christian bit of nonsense: The meaning of meaninglessness
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Exodus redux
Lest anyone think that I have only issues with Christianity, here is the link to the first part of my Exodus series. I look at the strange story of the exodus in the bible. Passover is based on the idea of putting blood on doorways to avoid being killed by the angel of a supposedly … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Exodus redux
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – FFRF’s Blog “Easter fools, April Fools and Jesus’ pundits”
FFRF has done a good blog on the nonsense of Easter. I'm looking forward to the live broadcast of Jesus Christ Superstar on NBC tomorrow night. I love the music and it is a good story. It also is a great demonstration that the easter stories in the bible contradict each other quite a bit. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – FFRF’s Blog “Easter fools, April Fools and Jesus’ pundits”
