It’s that time of year again, when trees are blooming and legislators give a sop to their constituents, trying to make believe that their version of Christianity is the state religion of Pennsylvania and the US. Last year it was the nonsense about the “Year of the Bible”, which I posted about here, and here, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s spring and the PA legislator lies are in bloom!

Rather than allowing his comment and my response to languish in commentland, I thought I might post it here as an example of some other common Christian approaches to atheists.
