Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the gauntlet has been thrown

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – you’d think conservative Christians would know better than to lie

A common false claim by many Christians has to do with Darwin and evolutionary theory.  They want to so desperately conflate Social Darwinism with evolutionary theory, in order to try to scare people from accepting evolutionary theory and realizing that the bible is nothing different from any other silly set of myths. I found this … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – you’d think conservative Christians would know better than to lie

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – hearing voices

Occasionally, I come upon a post by a theist and then comment on it.  A couple of exchanges in, suddenly there are “rules” that are enforced when the Christian can’t find an answer or finds the line of debate less than flattering to his points.  Oh well, that doesn’t stop reality from existing. The post … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – hearing voices

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – talking to Christians, Christians talking to non-Christians etc

This weekend I was at an holiday craft show with my art.  Despite rather awful weather, standing in a puddle the first day and being wind-whipped the second, I did fairly well.  It’s always a nice thing when people actually buy something you’ve made or even just compliment it.  I hate to admit I do … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – talking to Christians, Christians talking to non-Christians etc

It’s … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: why do they choose to make false claims? – next up, DP Monahan

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Happy Fourth of July! Hobby Lobby is at it again with their 2018 ad

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
