What happened in Newtown was a tragedy and horrific. It was sudden, violent and unlike what Americans like to think is “normal”. Similar things happen every day in the world, sometimes slower but still horrific. Unsuprisingly, we have TrueChristians, Bryan Fischer and Mike Huckabee (we already know he’s a horrible person and not the friendly … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – TrueChristian antics about the tragedy in Newtown

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The End of the world….or not
A lot of humans seem to be longing for the “end of the world”. Many religions have it built into them, that some god will come and take all of the believers away to a magical place after killing/damning everyone who dared not to believe in the god. The contents of said magical place vary, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The End of the world….or not
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Calling something “evil”
Sometimes you don’t know whether to laugh or cry at what people do. This Christmas I’m getting my nieces and nephews books. So, I ask sister in law in an email “what would the kids like to read about”. And she says the Hunger Games for the eldest (she also seriously suggested Bill O’Reilly’s exercises … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Calling something “evil”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Secession! and a smidgen of geology
Isn’t “pout-rage” such a great word? It fits just about anyone who takes a fit when something doesn’t go their way, from three-year olds, to theocrats who can’t watch women’s vaginas when they want to. One of the best examples of this pout-rage is the calls for secession from the United States of America. Poor … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Secession! and a smidgen of geology
Not Polite Dinner Conversation –Some fun with 1 Corinthians!
(yes, the entire blogosphere seems to be doing a post about Huckabee on The Daily show. It gives me a reason to address specific parts of the bible, so I’m getting my own licks in) Jon Stewart of The Daily Show did an excellent job at showing how Mike Huckabee is quite a liar or simply … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation –Some fun with 1 Corinthians!
Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Anyone remember Robertson’s claims about God telling him who will be president?
Well, I didn't get one of my prophecies right. Obama won pretty handily. However, I hit it on the nose about the claims of TrueChristians about how the end times are a comin! Franklin Graham, following right in the footsteps of his failed prophet father Billy, has this to say: "I want to warn America: … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Anyone remember Robertson’s claims about God telling him who will be president?
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Excuses Excuses
A sigh of relief on this end. At least a little reprieve from lunatics who want to have a theocracy. We can take more steps on keeping the US a beacon of freedom and equality for *all*, not a self-chosen few. Now, Obama, you've done a lot but you still have more to do. Close … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Excuses Excuses
What the Boss Likes – My own set of predictions
Hey, we have prophets from all sides, so why not an atheist. My predictions: Obama will win. Barely. The evangelical, aka Protestant-type, Christians will take a fit and declare that they were “Duped, duped!” by a Mormon and a Roman Catholic. There will be much made about 2012 and the end of the world. We'll … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – My own set of predictions
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billy Graham, political shill
Blog posts about this are a dime a dozen, but I wanted to document that the Harrisburg paper has hopefully the last screed by a scared old man who wants to play pretend that he and only he knows what his imaginary friend wants. Billy Graham, anti-semite and self-annointed prophet (he was sure that by … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billy Graham, political shill
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Think of the children!” only when convenient
The supporters of "family values" strike again! The latest hypocrisy here in Pennsylvania is perpetrated by Representatives of *both* parties, sadly enough. Rep. RoseMarie Swanger(R), Rep. Thomas Caltagirone (D), Rep. Mark Gillen(R), Rep. Keith Gillespie(R), Rep. Adam Harris(R), Rep.Mike Tobash(R), have all decided that women won't get more help from welfare for an additional baby over a certain number *unless* she can prove … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Think of the children!” only when convenient
