Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Reflecting some more on the SCOTUS rescinding Roe v.Wade

I have the following. Please do feel free to borrow as you will.  I will guess that my Christian blog followers will be deathly silent. We have had the pleasure of watching at least two Catholics (I had mistakenly called them evangelical Christians) lie under oath, Kavanaugh and Barrett. (most curious since evangelicals are sure that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Reflecting some more on the SCOTUS rescinding Roe v.Wade

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: balkanization? We can hope

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the conservative Christians have struck down Roe v. Wade here in the US.  They have decided to claim that it is up to the states to decide if they want to allow a woman to handle her own health care.   This is the same group that says that people can carry … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: balkanization?

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh look, excuses by a Christian on why their god does nothing

A Christian commenter on this blog, "Alexander Phaethon" has written this set of excuses for why his god does nothing at all when it comes to children being killed. I've added some paragraphing so it's not one block of text. "I am, most likely to annoyance of most, going to cite free will here. It’s … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh look, excuses by a Christian on why their god does nothing

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – an excellent essay about morality, gods and mass shootings

Dr. Darren Slade over at the Global Center for Religious Research has written an excellent essay about the excuses that theists, especially conservative Christians, give when it comes to mass shootings. In case you might not know, "miso" means "hate" and yes, one can do that even for imaginary characters. "God and Mass Shootings: A … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – an excellent essay about morality, gods and mass shootings

What the Boss Likes – feeling like I’m in a sketch comedy skit and cat picture

Recently, I've been demonstrating how a couple of conservative Christians fail. Those familiar with my blog and those of others will recognize the screen handles of "colorstorm" and "silenceofmind". Over on SOM's blog, I'm addressing their nonsense and the poor fellows can't keep from "liking" my comments. Alas, I didn't grab poor CS's like since … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – feeling like I’m in a sketch comedy skit and cat picture

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – it’s time to stand up, liberal Christians

Unsurprisingly, conservative Christians are doing all they can to turn the US into a theocracy.  They want to control everyone, not just women, not just LGBT… folks, not just people of different religions, etc. Everyone.  All based on their belief that some god wants this.  They of course can’t show this god even exists or … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – it’s time to stand up, liberal Christians

Not So Polite Conversation – my discussion with Alexander part 2

Unsurprisingly, the comments got a little hairy looking on the prior post. Alex seems to have determined he doesn't want to debate things anymore. This often happens when the theist finds they have nothing when it comes to supporting their claims. In this case, Alex was unable to give examples of his accusations against various … Continue reading Not So Polite Conversation – my discussion with Alexander part 2

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – please welcome Alex, a Christian who has asked to debate me

A Christian has asked to debate me, Alexander Phaethon, of the blog Peace of Mind. He comes to us from commenting on my last blog post, about a christian who insists that everyone agrees with her. You can see what kind of a Christian he is on his comment here. He also commented that he … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – please welcome Alex, a Christian who has asked to debate me

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a great paper on how cults rationalize their nonsense

Just a link to a very good paper on how cults, aka religions, can invent nonsense and end up believing it to be true. Thanks to John Loftus over at Debunking Christianity for giving the link. “The Rationalization Hypothesis: Is a Vision of Jesus Necessary for the Rise of the Resurrection Belief?” — by Kris KomarnitskyThe … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a great paper on how cults rationalize their nonsense

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a three-fer this year

Some of the big holidays/months for the abrahamic religions happen this month. Easter is this weekend. Passover starts on Friday. Ramadan is the whole lunar month. Passover - we have a celebration that the Israelites got their freedom, the "exodus", but it's not quite that simple and requires the death of children and people who … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a three-fer this year
