Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yep, it’s really a *frapping* cult

I got this response from a christian on my facebook post that reflected my post here about mass shootings: "I stumbled upon your question. We've never met but I wanted to have a chance to try to respond to your question. I am the survivor of csa and rape and robbery at knifepoint.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – too soon? Too bad.

There were at least 125 mass shooting events at schools and religious organizations between 2000 -2025 with more than 2 fatalities or more than 3 casualties.  Yesterday's shooting at a catholic school is just one more.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – haven’t had a real Christian fail for a while

Billy Beniah Bussey made some claims on his blog. I engaged with them and as usual, the claims failed. In the past, I've put up some Christian claims to address them here when they are just ridiculous. This is just another one, nothing much new. "You do a lot of typing my friend.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – how *does* atheism affect me

A fellow named Carl has subscribed to my blog.  He is a Christian, and has a blog called “Considering the Bible”.   I asked him why he followed my blog, and this was his response (BTW, memes at the bottom):“I noticed you are an athiest and I want to understand not only why someone would choose … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – how *does* atheism affect me →
