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 – 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 – 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”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – various articles on how losing abortion rights will snowball
I subscribe to a website called phys.org which has articles on the various sciences. Post Roe, women in America are right to be concerned about digital surveillance. And it's not just period-tracking appsFacebook, Instagram take down posts offering abortion pills Instagram hides some posts that mention abortion Hate sites are using the wider abortion argument … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – various articles on how losing abortion rights will snowball
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Catholics want new cathedral to celebrate overthrow of Roe v. Wade, not to help children or women
As the title says, there is a movement in the RCC to make a "huge beautiful church" to their goddess stand-in Mary for the overthrow of Roe v. Wade. Few things go to show how Catholics have no interest in actually helping children than this. Nothing like wanting to spend millions on pleasing an imaginary … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Catholics want new cathedral to celebrate overthrow of Roe v. Wade, not to help children or women
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – you too can see how crazy Christians can be
I had to save this for posterity " The recent decisions of the Supreme Court cheat Moloch of his accustomed cheap comestibles. He’ll have to make do with less. But, as with all natural systems under the orbit of the moon, this is a case of pushing the envelope in one way only to see … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – you too can see how crazy Christians can be
