I, and many other atheists, have pointed out to theists that they are atheists too. They simply don’t believe in other gods, often for reasons just like I do: there is no evidence. They often get upset by this revelation, since it neuters their common attacks on atheists e.g. atheists are those scary communists, etc.Nothing … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christians are atheists too

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and yet again a Christian fails in their claims of what makes someone leave their religion
A fellow in my home state, Mark Farnham, from a relatively close by bible college, has decided to make a list of why people have left his religion. And of course it’s the same baseless claims, and ignorance. He has this nonsense on a rather vehement evangelical conservative Christian website called “Sharper Iron”, and claims … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and yet again a Christian fails in their claims of what makes someone leave their religion
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – prophecy nonsense
The Associated Press has an article about the magical nonsense invoked by Christians, specifically the Pope. Way back when, there was the Fatima nonsense, where people saw Mary floating around and giving prophecies. Now, again, its being claimed to be "fulfilled" which is always rather silly since it apparently has already been claimed to have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – prophecy nonsense
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Wintery Knight got something right
Wintery Knight isn't the sharpest knife when it comes to apologists. But he did get one thing right."We should do a better job of that to set expectations. People grow up thinking God’s job us to make them happy and popular." Yep, they have to manage expectations since their god fails despite its promises. 13 … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Wintery Knight got something right
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a new pair of apologists
I found a new blog with a pair of Christian gals who want to address us atheists, agnostics and non-christians. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be very aware of counter apologetics and may regret what they've started. They seem nice enough, but terribly ignorant. We'll see how this goes. Here's a response to one of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a new pair of apologists
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yet one more list of questions for atheists that fails
This is a list of 29 (!) questions from a family of apologists that style themselves the AIIA Institute (such a lovely appeal to authority attempt. Anyone can start an “institute”). I found out about them since they took out a full-page ad in Yankee Magazine (a regional tourism, etc magazine for the northeast US). … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yet one more list of questions for atheists that fails
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – false prophets and morons, oh my
Oh look, constant false prophet and very hateful little man Pat Robertson is spewing his nonsense again. "“I think you can say, well, Putin’s out of his mind. Yes, maybe so,” said Robertson, 91. “But at the same time, he’s being compelled by God. He went into the Ukraine, but that wasn’t his goal. His … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – false prophets and morons, oh my
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a Christian post for posterity
I've stumbled upon a person, KC Sunbeam (not sunshine, but still a crank). Their latest post is quite a doozy, especially with their tagline: "This Unique Person and Social Pariah tackles society's problems with intellectual accuity."Some pertinent parts."1-2) “Is Anne Frank burning in Hell right now? How about Mahatma Gandi?” A: Nobody is presently burning in Hell … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a Christian post for posterity
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – attempts to declare one religion “better” doesn’t work out so well
I do love a completely clueless post by John Clayton, over at Does God Exist. He tries very hard to declare that Christianity is ever so much better than Islam.To give some background, John tries to claim that he was once an atheist who became a Christian because “science”. Alas, not one thing about science says … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – attempts to declare one religion “better” doesn’t work out so well
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Gaslighting, theist style
The Christians at GotQuestions? (self-described as “Christian, Protestant, evangelical, theologically conservative, and non-denominational” aka Christians who have also invented their own nonsense) have a video on gaslighting. What is gaslighting? | GotQuestions.org - YouTube Now, gaslighting is when an abuser tries to convince their victim that they are wrong in someway. The gotquestions folks have it … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Gaslighting, theist style
