Being bored, I followed that link and found that the author Marilyn Adamson does indeed give six claims on why she thinks people … Continue reading Not so polite dinner conversation – It’s on the interwebs so it must be true! – Christian ads claiming to have the “truth”

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Destroying what you don’t like
Unsuprisingly, Pat Robertson has advocated for the destruction of religious images that are not his own. In a recent bit on his television show, he advises a "good Christian" to destroy the statue of Buddah that her friend has. Now, where have we seen such destruction advocated before?

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Why I’m going to the Reason Rally
The Reason Rally is tomorrow. Yep, the weather may well suck, but it doesn’t matter (and heck the farmers need the rain. Since I need them who am I to bitch?). I’m relatively close by, and people need to see that atheists, agnostics, free thinkers, etc, are willing to stand up to be counted.
